Poll: How Many Of You Are On Speaking Terms With Your Ex(es)?

[similar.squirrel]

Two of them, but I don't really have a reason to talk to either. The one I haven't spoken to in years has apparently gotten over the whole incident, but I haven't tried contacting her. I don't see any reason to do so.

 

[Realitycrash]

I avoid them if I can. I have an average of..Around three years, before I can speak with any of them. Easier that way.

 

[Plurralbles]

Come to think of it... It's kinda' weird to just drift away and then cut all contact from someone who really meant a lot to me...

But here we are: No exes talk to me and i don't speak to them after a month or so after the breakup.

 

[Hiraeth]

Kinda. I have one ex that I haven't spoken to for more than a year, we tried to be friends for a while, but I eventually realized that I didn't want to waste my time on him when I was still incredibly angry at him because of the way he went about breaking up with me. Then I have another ex that I've had sort of an on-again/off-again thing with over the years, who I'm actually dating at the moment.

My last big ex was basically just a friend that I played games with in high school. There was no real sexual element to the relationship and I was too young to have any emotional depth, so there wasn't really much to be upset about after the fact. We still hang out sometimes.

 

[Pecoros7]

Yes, I still speak with my ex-wife. Our personalities still mesh wonderfully, but our lifestyles couldn't be more opposite (me-let's plan ahead and save some money. her-WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE) so that's why we're not together any more.

Sounds like my ex-wife and me. She was always more of the free-spirit type. I don't talk to her much, though, because she decided to find another free spirit who "gets" her. I found out and that's why she's now my ex-wife.

 

[Hucket]

Well we still talk to each other yes, but its like everyone and a while. Their out of my life and I'm out of thiers, we've moved on.

 

[Nielserik]

Well I told my last ex that I wanted to be friends, but I haven't heard from her since. The ex before that I really dislike, so not on speaking terms with her either.

 

[GLo Jones]

When I broke up with my last ex (of a 14 month relationship), she took it pretty badly, so I spent over 5 hours sat with her in a park, answering any questions she had, being as patient as possible, and making sure she knew I wasn't going to budge on the matter.

There were many, many tears, and it was possibly the hardest day of my life, but thanks to gritting through it, and leaving her in one piece, we're still speaking 6 months later. We'll occasionally meet up for coffee to catch up, I stIll talk to her parents etc. Things are good.

 

[zen5887]

I talk to two of my exs frequently, in fact, I think of them more as friends then ex girlfriends. The other two however I don't talk to, and I'm not that fazed about it.

I actually ran into one of them on New Years. Holy fuck that was awkward...

Me - "Oh, hey.."
Her - "Hi.."
Me - "Uhh.. Long time no see"
Her - "..Yup"

Then we stood around for awhile, I made a drink and ran away.

 

[Watchmacallit]

Yep...Its in a weird place though. Really weird, no idea what to do >_>

 

[thylasos]

Mostly, yes. We're certainly on speaking terms, anyway, but with about half of them it's just a case of being civil to each other due to our mutual friends.

 

[tikalal]

I'm on speaking terms with all of my axes. We do things together all the time.

 

[SirDoom]

My first, yeah. We're still friends. Hell, we even go to each other for relationship advice here and there as well.

My second... Well, she practically broke down in tears when we broke up because she didn't want it to be a "never talk to each other again" situation, and made it clear she wanted to "definitely remain close friends, no matter what". Since then, she hasn't responded to a single call/text, and I'm fairly sure she blocked me on all the messenger programs we both use. It's only been a short time, but signs don't look good.

 

[x0ny]

We didn't have the best break up, we didn't see each other for 8 years, and when we did run into each other, we had nothing to say. I guess we hold grudges for extended periods of time.

 

[Aetera]

I'm only on good terms with one of my exes. The others were all insane. One literally. She thought that the trees had been making fun of her. It was frightening. The fact that we still had to be roommates after breaking up made the not-really-on-speaking-terms thing REALLY awkward.

...Especially for our third roommate. xD

 

[Grimlock Fett]

No but when someone ends the relationship by text you tend to harbour a bit of ill feeling towards them. More so when they add you on facebook and you ask what they're thinking and they tell you they "thought we could be grown up about it". (¬_¬) I'm not bitter though. Her ex was abusive so I'm hoping shes back with him!!

 

[Legion]

Not only are we on speaking terms, but we have oral sex whenever we see each other, like so:

"F@ck you!"

"F@ck you, too! @sshole!"

See there? I just DP'd him.

Very good, that got a smile out of me.

I'm on speaking terms with all of my axes. We do things together all the time.

You sound like a serial killer of some sort.

My second... Well, she practically broke down in tears when we broke up because she didn't want it to be a "never talk to each other again" situation, and made it clear she wanted to "definitely remain close friends, no matter what". Since then, she hasn't responded to a single call/text, and I'm fairly sure she blocked me on all the messenger programs we both use. It's only been a short time, but signs don't look good.

That is disturbingly common among the women I know, both those who have said it to me, and my friends. My friend who was in a relationship with a girl for about two and a half years had his ex say that, and although they sometimes talk, it has always been him putting in all the effort to remain in contact.

...Especially for our third roommate. xD

You have piqued my curiosity.
