Friday 12/18 NWQOTD

Are any of you still friends or talk to any ex boyfriends?

I wouldn't neccessarily say that I'm friends with any exes but I am friends with some on facebook if that counts

Re: Friday 12/18 NWQOTD

I have two 'big' ones and I talk to both. One is married with the cutest son in the universe and lives abroad. I talk to him every other month in passing or so, usually through Facebook or email.

The other I was literally best friends with when I met DH. We had broken up but never really broke up all the way ... and when I met DH it was too difficult for him ... so now we hardly talk. But yes, still talk to him every now and again.

And one of DH's exes came to our wedding!

I'm a huge proponent of staying in touch with your exes if you end on good terms. I don't see anything wrong with it.

Re: Friday 12/18 NWQOTD

i normally am friends with exes. there is only one that even though i would still be civil i wouldn't really be 'Friends'. he was a super jerk, but i still can't be mean to people. i'm friends with one of my exes on FB, but the last time i saw him about 3 and a half years ago he was SUPER weird. my DH (he was my BF at the time) asked if he could meet him if i wanted to keep hanging out which i thought was a beyond reasonable request. but my ex didn't think so and told me he's 'very protective' of me. and i was like.. what!?!?! you know you broke up with ME right?!!?! haha

ETA: DH is REALLY good friends with an ex of his.. she knows his whole family and she was at our wedding too!!! i'm KIND of over it, but its still 'holy awkward' sometimes!! HAHA

Re: Friday 12/18 NWQOTD

Facebook friends with one of them... we used to text alot to say hi every now and then but then he kind of got weird.. like trying to rub it in my face that he had a gf... as if i cared I was engaged! so I deleted him from my phone.. He is really nice and we were great friends before we dated so I guess i can keep him around on FB..

As for the other a$$holes, I pretty much broke ties the day we broke up.. never talked to them again... One of them I found out was cheating on me the entire time and was ENGAGED. When i broke up with him he tried contacting me through texts and emails saying he missed me and all that BS. I blocked him every way possible!

Re: Friday 12/18 NWQOTD

I really only had one other serious boyfriend before DH. and we are not friends AT ALL!! lol
it was a horrible break up! he was crazy! I was extremely close with his family! we dated for 5 years and i was always with his family! his sister is one of my best friends and he had a little brother who was 3 when we started dating so he was like my brother. I found it harded breaking up with the family then i did breaking up with him! lol
he was a nut! and his sister would still invite me over for dinner and stuff after we broke up his family loved me but were not even allowed to say 'jessica' in the house even if they were reffering to a differnt one! lol

for a while things were better like we would say hello when we saw each other...recently like 2 years ago he would write me on myspace and told me he still had feelings for me, so that when i decided umm no we can even attempt to be friends.

his sister was in my wedding party and said to her 'i hope chris doesnt show up'

ugh! i could care less that we dont speak either! lol

Re: Friday 12/18 NWQOTD

Re: Friday 12/18 NWQOTD

Nope...I am not friends with any of my exes. I really only had 2 other major relationships before DH and they were both crazy psychos. I am friends on Facebook with the mother of one of my exes but thats only because she is not crazy and she and I always had a good relationship. She was actually happy when I broke up with her son because she knew I deserved to be treated so much better and she is so happy for me now and the life that I have created for myself. She loves her son but knows that he will never get his life together.

Re: Friday 12/18 NWQOTD

When I run into my first or second boyfriend I am friendly with them. I am not friends with my High School sweetheart except via FB.

My first boyfriend in college is part of our group of friends (remember the one who didn't invite us to Halloween and put the donation envelope in our Christmas cards?)

My grad school bf and I are friends through one of my BMs, so I see him when I go visit her, but thats it.

The rest no.

No, not really... I still talk to 2 of them through FB sometimes but I have no idea what’s up with any of the others.

Re: Friday 12/18 NWQOTD

We actually met through one of DH's exes who I was friends with separately (DH was in AZ at the time) So his ex and I threw a New Years Eve party together and DH came - and well the rest was history - and it was a LOOOONG ago ex (like when they were 20 DH is now 38) so no drama btwn anyone.

I am actually friends with a few - we joke that we had way too many exes at our wedding - I think that we both had really tight knit friend groups so had to find ways of dealing with having exes around - so we both managed to keep a few - I also have a few exes i NEVER would speak to - because things didn't end well - or well there was just no reason to be friends -

Re: Friday 12/18 NWQOTD

My first Ex-Boyfriend (from HS) I am friends with on Facebook, and we might exchange a few greetings here and there, but not really good friends anymore.

My second Ex-Boyfriend (from later in HS) I am friends with. We have mutual friends and see each other once every few months or so when we're out. It is not weird at all, my DH knows him, I know his GF. It's like we were always friends and not ever together for like 2 years.

My third Ex-Boyfriend (from first 3 years of college) I never ever talk to. He hated me after we broke up for some reason. I don't think he hates me anymore, we haven't spoken in over 5 years, but he definitely wouldn't be interested in talking to me. I just found out he is engaged!

Re: Friday 12/18 NWQOTD

I am friends with most of mine and even had a few at the wedding. DH knows and is fine with it cause they are exes for a reason but most of my relationships didn't end bad just realized they weren't the right person

Re: Friday 12/18 NWQOTD

I really only had one serious BF Before DH and he was an @$$. I ran into him at a bar a few years ago and he said hi and introduced me to his wife. A few months later I heard they divorced.

Re: Friday 12/18 NWQOTD

I am still friends with one of my exes. DH doesn't really care. He lives upstate now and he and DH have never actually met.

Re: Friday 12/18 NWQOTD

Not really. I only had two seriouls bfs before DH and then dated here and there. There are a few people they I may have went out with once of twice that I still talk to but I have lost onctact with those I had long term relationships with.

MirabellaNYC Posted: Dec 18, 2009 09:24 PM

Re: Friday 12/18 NWQOTD

Nope!

I've always been the kind of girl who wants nothing to do with an ex after we break up....

If I saw one of them out it would be super friendly though.
