Do you stay in touch with your ex?

[GAMEC0CK2002]

Had a "500 Days of Summer" kind of moment today. Just out of the blue, I was curious how my ex was doing (we broke up in July 2011 after 5 years) so looked on facebook. There was picture of her holding a few months old son taken in October 2012. So roughly 6 months after we stopped dating she was married and pregnant.

Glad she's happy...just kinda shocked it didn't take her much time to move on.

Anybody stay in touch with your ex?

A few of them. No hard feelings or anything.

Maybe she got married because she got pregnant. Moving on speeds up when you're knocked up.

I don't talk or, am friends with any of my exes, whether on Facebook or in real life. They are exes for a reason. Only two I kept up with for awhile, and one I even dated again for a bit, but haven't talked to either of them in ages and the one I dated again, I was reminded why she was an ex in the first place.

Yeah she's weird though when she talks to me while she has a boyfriend.

Yes I do. Its been years since we dated and we're now both married to other people.

Not because I chose too. Have one ex that was pretty much engaged about a week after we called it quits (to someone she purely married for the money and security). A couple months later she text me and said she missed me, then a couple of months after that called me saying the same thing. Now she is knocked up and has that sucker locked in for 18 years.

Occasionally, but it's almost always a bad idea.

Only through Facebook.

Most of them seem to be married or have kids in their early 20s.

I've never had a rough breakup really. It's always been sort of mutual where we didn't have enouch chemistry to keep things going very long.

I don't wish anything bad on any of my ex's and the only one I don't talk to is one who tried to go behind my back and sleep with a friend. He called her out on it on the same exact night and came straight to me with it.

I'm glad I had a best friend of 15 years (at that time) who respected me enough to shut it down and then let me know what was going on.

**** that bitch. She's the reason I quit trusting women for so long.

Nope, not since I started dating my current g/f. I was the "relapse" guy. Even after the break-up, the booty calls continued with every girl I dated. If I was single and there was a Friday night where I struck out at the bar, I would call up an ex and she'd meet me at my place.

It was nice to have, but it's not college anymore lol.

Hope that contract came with some incentives.

lol I keep a small roster of non-exes, but former flings for this exact situation.

Re: Do you stay in touch with your ex?

Yes, in fact I'm still good friends with all of them except one, and we still follow each other on twitter/instagram and talk every now and then. Not going to get into it on OS, but she was the only one that REALLY ****ed me over and screwed me up for a while, but with time she...realized her "mistake" for lack of a better way to say it and apologized.


I just don't understand how you can just pretend like someone who you used to be close with just doesn't exist.

IMO, it makes the separation easier. Like somebody else said, you are exes for a reason. No need keeping that door slightly open

After a few months, it's easy. I've forgotten a lot of the small memories with my exes.

I haven't acknowledged that any of my exes exist in close to 2 years. They were never friends before f...well you know the word I can't say...so it was easier to push them to the side and move on. No real attachment because none of them really ever became my best friend like the situation I have now.

Re: Do you stay in touch with your ex?

I'm not friends with any of mine, I can't possibly imagine being purely platonic with them anymore after that. Tried to stay friend with a girl I dated in high school for 3 years, we just ended up getting back together once, and having a couple cross-country flights to see eachother and it got awkward because it was over, but it wasn't over. Ended up accidentally running into the girl I dated in college for 3 years after about a year, started talking, ended up back together with her for a few months. Couldn't even manage to avoid a girl I dated for less than a year in high school without eventually living with her. No, keep them all away from me damnit.
