Do you keep in touch with your ex/ex's ???

SIX PACK · 02-12-2010 10:48pm #1

Simple curious question do you stay in contact remain "friends" with an ex or 3 ?? Provided i suppose the break up was on good terms or a joint decision, Or perhaps both parties still have a lot of respect for eachother & the relationship fizzled out but still remain friends
I know Simon Cowell stays in contact with a few of his ex lovers !!

For me i do remain friends with some of my former Squeezes thats as far as it goes. It drives my Fiancé crazy, So cant even be friends with them on FB im cool with it though dont want to start another row

alwaysadub · 02-12-2010 10:49pm

Do with some
Don't with others.

brummytom · 02-12-2010 10:50pm

I couldn't possibly keep in touch with all of them

scientific1982 · 02-12-2010 10:51pm

Dont keep in contact with them but most of them are nice girls.

Constantly

Dr_Phil · 02-12-2010 10:56pm

No.

It is "ex" for a reason. There is nothing left to say.

Mint Sauce · 02-12-2010 10:59pm

No, something to do with a restraining order.

thats a joke btw

What an odd remark. One would imagine that, should one still possess all their apendages, one would continuously be in contact.

I do with some (one), I don't with others (also one).

It depends, if they were actually arseholearific, then no.

Pawpad666 · 02-12-2010 11:00pm

Yip, sure do. Good mates then, good mates now (in most cases).

Pherekydes · 02-12-2010 11:02pm

No, I don't keep in touch with her.

She's an ex for a reason.

dirtyghettokid · 02-12-2010 11:04pm

most of the time no! but the last bf i had before my husband is now one of my best friends and it's amazing to have that. it's all good! i suppose it depends on the way you broke up..?

BraziliaNZ · 02-12-2010 11:07pm

One hates me so no. The others are bitches from hell. So no.

Daisy Steiner · 02-12-2010 11:09pm

I only keep in touch with one, and he was my longest relationship as well.

The rest of 'em (that I can recall) can go and shoite!

Baxtards.

Forever alone

Stained Class · 02-12-2010 11:09pm

No.

Why would you?

Be in sight of a situation that was a failure!

God, some people...

Latchy · 02-12-2010 11:11pm

Being a bigamist doesn't give me much choice

that's a joke to

nermal15 · 02-12-2010 11:12pm

I keep in touch with two, I went out with both of them when I was very young and they're both friends with all my friends so it would be a bit petty of me to ignore them. :P They're really good friends, also.

krudler · 02-12-2010 11:15pm

Their heads are mounted on my wall, so yeah, I see them all the time.

Pauleta · 02-12-2010 11:16pm

Ive had 3 proper girlfriends. Im good friends with one, In fact she has been going out with my mate for a few years now :pac:. Another one i would always chat to when i see her without it being awkward but have zero interest in her sexually. The other one i havnt talked to or seen in years.

Aodan83 · 02-12-2010 11:19pm

No. Did keep up with one for a while, but that was more because we had mutual friends than anything else. I don't see any reason why anyone should specifically try to keep up with their exes, the relationship failed for a reason, better off to just leave it most of the time.

whatsamsn · 02-12-2010 11:21pm

Depends on how it ends.

If it was a nasty ending (cheating, lies etc) ... then hell no. They aint no friend of mine.
If it was an ok break-up ... Yes and No. Most people tend to get on with their own lives and see an ex as the past.
In my experience post-relationship friendship tends to form when there are mutal friends & if not any mutual friends it tends to be they were still having sex after the breakup which just leaded towards the friends route.

Turtyturd · 02-12-2010 11:21pm

Nope, but if Simon Cowell does it then I might give it a go.

PeterIanStaker · 02-12-2010 11:28pm

Nope, seriously couldn't be arsed. Her friends on the other hand are good for inside info/gossip - shows they're not very good friends.

Odysseus · 02-12-2010 11:29pm

Last one is not too long over, she works in a clinic where I do a few hours, so there has to be professional contact, but she just had a very recent bereavement, so on those grounds I keep some contact.

Some of them haven't managed to get the restraining orders yet.

Princess Peach · 02-12-2010 11:33pm

I've stayed in contact with my last boyfriend. Partly cause I thought it was the mature thing to do, and partly cause I wanted him to take me back. Its turned out to be a bad idea on a few occasions.

stupidusername · 02-12-2010 11:38pm

I'm best friends with my ex. we get on great as friends. same sense of humour. see many things the same way.

:P

STIG83 · 03-12-2010 12:00am

Some of my ex Gfs i do, some i dont

Kimono-Girl · 03-12-2010 10:09am

I keep in touch with two of them, one is in new zealand though so it would be just through facebook now, the other is one of our best friends, mine and his break up was mutual and we remained friends, then a few months later he set me up with his friend (my other half today

)....

the two i don't keep in touch with, well one of them we became good friends after the break up,we used meet for coffee and a catch up once a month, but he got jealous when i met my other half, and we stopped talking, he tried so hard to get me to love him but i didn't (hence the break up) and i think it really hurt him when he saw how in love with my other half i was/am, i still feel bad about that one.

the other one, he hates me, but then he is justified, it was all my fault, i don't talk about it.

so i'm 50/50 i guess!

Pompey Magnus · 03-12-2010 10:23am

I just stay in contact with one because we are friends now, just haven't been bothered with the rest.

fakearms123 · 03-12-2010 10:33am

Nope, I've buried their bodies deep below my floorboards so we don't talk anymore but I do occasionally pass down the odd bit of cheese to them through the cracks

*Does my witty bitty bodies wanna a bitta tasty wasty cheese, oh yes you do, oh yes you do*

I ain't crazy :mad:

Raze_them_all · 03-12-2010 10:36am

When I'm single and want sex, yes.

When I'm taken and getting sex, no.

stovelid · 03-12-2010 10:38am

Still in occasional touch with my three most serious ex-girlfriends. Two of them live abroad so it's just by email or facebook. One lives here and I meet her now and again, usually in a group for a pint. There's no agenda and all are married/long term attached.

laugh · 03-12-2010 10:50am

I keep in touch with their panties when they are out.

Duggy747 · 03-12-2010 11:39am

Boards answer:
A bit hard considering they're buried in my garden............if I can't have them then nobody can!!

Real answer:
Most of my ex's are either pregnant or have kids :pac:

*bullet dodged*

Max Power1 · 03-12-2010 11:44am

Ardennes1944 · 03-12-2010 11:52am

EverEvolving · 03-12-2010 1:17pm

I don't keep in contact with them as in calling each other up or messaging on facebook, but whenever I meet one on a night out or in town I would always chat for a bit and have a drink with them to catch up.

Sometimes things just don't work out on a relationship side, but you may still get on with them really well as friends.

ascuteasabutton · 03-12-2010 2:48pm

My ex is my best friend, we were together for 2 years we wanted different things so it didn't work out but we have huge respect for each other!

Couldn't imagine my life without him.....I think it all comes down to age and maturity(or lack of) as to whether you can remain friends after a relationship ends!

Wompa1 · 03-12-2010 2:50pm

Tried it with two of them but it ended up being a bit of a disaster. They either expected too much or would go on about things that didn't work in our relationship as if we were still together..

Asphyxia · 03-12-2010 3:22pm

Mainly one but she passed away about 2 years ago. Any of the rest are not really worth it.

Copper23 · 03-12-2010 4:05pm

I'm friendly with all but not best friends as such. I don't see the point, I mean, it ended, there's just this tension when you try to force still being best friends.

Some are still in my social group, some have moved away after college and stuff, no reason not to talk to any of them but I don't necessarily go out of my way to do so. Very happy with my current GF and I don't see the point in it.

Do you keep in touch with your ex/ex's ???
