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

[Mikoi]

Ex No1: I still speak to my ex-GF from high school all the time, mind her daughter when she wants to go out or what not. (Child is not mine)

Ex No2: We stopped talking after her Husband found out about her and myself getting a little to friendly a couple of times...

Ex No3: Just started to talk to her again after 2years we did talk however just 2 word conversations, I'm close friends with her sister, and her sisters Husband is one of my closest mates I've known for years (16 to be exact)

All is all I still speak to most of my ex's.

 

[Haydyn]

Huh huh. Nope. I doubted that one of them had models asking her out and she was saying no, and she snapped at me accusing me of calling her fat and all this crap. My last girlfriend just broke off all contact with me. I don't know why. We were getting along great, had so much in common, and we were going to make cookies on our next date... Now I'm sad. Between this and a 3 page term paper I am not starting my birthday off on the right foot.

About six months ago I moved from Perth to Melbourne.

My first ex actually lives in Melbourne. Cool story, I know.

OT - I speak to my first from time to time, but we've got our own lives on the go, and it's been a few years since the break up, so not talking isn't something we tend to notice. That being said, doesn't feel like anything's changed when we do talk.

I also talk with my most recent ex, but not all that often. It's generally via text, and to be honest, the conversations are feeling quite forced at times, if not boring, so they tend to stop shortly after they're started. It's still nice to talk to her, don't get me wrong, just... I'm kinda moving on with my life I guess.

Er, and that was a whole lotta useless information. Yes, I still talk with my exes, and we're on good terms, woo.

I used to be friends with most- if not all- of my exes. However, since I started a relationship with my now-fiancee, a lot of them have excused themselves from my life through their actions, and I've seen that the others were keeping me far too mired in my own past and that there really just isn't a place for them in my life anymore.

 

[DP155ToneZone]

While I speak to my ex now, and we do get a long swimmingly. I tried my best not to right after the break up.

It's generally a good idea to not speak to exes just after they become exes.

Was very sage advice I learned from the SomethingAwful forums: sever. SEVER.

Sever all communication for a while. Let your mind acclimate to not thinking about them.

Then when you're used to thinking of yourself as single, and not part of a couple, then re-evaluate the notion of speaking to them.

But I cannot stress the idea of needing time alone to get over someone. You might indeed call it quits, but you're gunna expect and want to speak with them - as per usual - so it's important to separate them from your life for a little while. It really is the best way to excise and cauterise all remaining feelings you might have.


Who wants to live their life forlorn all the time?

Fuck that; sever instead.

 

[GroovyV]

He wanted a clean break, and though i understand Why, more or less, he did it in a total douche way. Even if he really wanted to patch things up, it be hard to forgive.
Oh, and No, were not.

 

[Leon Last Lord Shyle]

...Especially for our third roommate. xD

Rofl I have a friend in that exact scenario... except he proposed to the chick instead of just asking her out

 

[Andy of Comix Inc]

For a long time, we weren't. Then something happened I didn't even notice and all of a sudden we're best friends. There's no sexual tension, there's a bit of awkwardness but I think what happened was we realized that the break-up was mutually beneficial - that we were young and stupid and experimenting - and so it went from "I hate you so much how could you leave me" to "thanks for ending it before it got too out of hand, friend."

Relationships are weird...

Calumon: X-Rays are scary! They show you're bones and stuff. :S

I can't believe that, after numerous and countless dirty threads, participating in sexually and emotionally-charged adult conversations, Calumon has still not picked up on even the most basic of adult terminology. What are you feeding that guy?!

 

[Guitarmasterx7]

I'm on speaking TERMS with a few. I don't actually speak to them though.

 

[Yureina]

No. Not intentionally, but as things tend to go, I end up never seeing my exes ever again once one of us leave the venue that our relationship blossomed in, be that a school, game, or website. Until then... it depends on how things went. I've not had any real awful breakups, so I have managed to at least remain on some basic speaking terms with them. At the same time... things seem to be awkward enough that I don't really want to continue talking with them.

Its too variable for me to really give a definite answer.

 

[SckizoBoy]

I have two exes and a late (the less said about the late, the better, though I still think about her).

1 ex: She occasionally sleeps around my place and it amazes everyone (both of us included) why we're not dating again (she has a girlfriend who's OK with it, for some reason). *massive shrug*

2 ex: We talk... and then start arguing about JRPG's... then drink... then argue about various animes... she falls over... I start it all over again with her current boyfriend...

 

[TheXRatedDodo]

Still in touch with my last 2 ex's, don't really have much in the way of a middleground though, we're just civil and talk a little and then whatever I end up talking about inevitably weirds them out.

Talking about spirituality in the western world obviously isn't okay with people. \o/
Eh, whatever. ^_^

 

[DC_Josh]

I'm still on speaking terms with two out of three of my ex's which isn't had going. TBH if it ends well I don't see any reason not to do so!

 

[DaftPivot XXX]

Just one and we hate each other but we speak, bang and hang out occasionally......but we hate each other......

 

[h0wdyth3r3]

I've got an ex. She cheated on me with a drug dealer. Then he put a sledgehammer through the windshield of my car while i was driving away. 'Nuff said.

 

[latenightapplepie]

No.

We longer interact. I cut off all contact. It was for the best, I think.

 

[Shock and Awe]

Never break up on bad terms, policy to live by.

 

[New Troll]

Interaction with my exes are as limited as possible. Do run into my ex-wife occasionally because of work, but it's like passing an elementary friend in the high school halls. Generally nothing more than a "Hey." The only ex I do interact on a regular basis with is my son's mother. Funny how things work out since she's probably the ex I'd like interaction with the least. Definitely the most psycho (and believe me, this is a challenge considering my history with women.)

 

[Admiral Stukov]

No, she moved to Canada, I think that answers it.
