    Inspired by the "can you be friends with an ex" thread. Didnt want to hijack that thread. So created this.

    I guess this thread is about fully moving on. We all know it depends on several factors, how much you were invested in them, were you hurt etc etc.

    So the ultimate question is... is there an ex you think about?

    Yep all the time, she's still in the wánk bank.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,160 ✭✭✭Kimono-Girl


    if i see them or they bother me somewhat thats the only time i would think of them. (Except two i still talk to but i consider them friends) i suppose i am well over those past relationships....


    i like to look forwards nowadays not back.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,305 ✭✭✭Chuchoter


    No, I tried to convince myself that she was a giant bitch and I'm better off without her, but I'd be with her in a heartbeat if she offered.:o

    How about you? Is there someone you're not fully over?

    yes i think about my ex alot

    You dont spend 8 years with some one - love them and then forget they ever existed

    I dont love her now, i care for her, but i can be in contact because she stil loves me and wants me back to this day.


    When she pissed she wakened, and by then it was too late.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,425 ✭✭✭gargleblaster


    there was only ever one that i had stuck in my head for any significant length of time, and thankfully that stopped being the case years ago.

    if the guy i'm currently head over heels for ever stopped being a part of my life then my answer would be 'yes' for a long, long time.


    edited to add that i thought you were asking specifically about being over an ex, not just not thinking about them at all. of course i think of lots of exes from time to time for whatever reason, but i'm over every single one of them.

    just noticed that if one isn't careful and doesn't read the poll question, but instead answers the question in the title of the op, then the results of this poll are going to be skewed. not that it's supposed to be scientific i know, but still.

    ;)

    well i was with a person for 6 months that ended the start of 2010. Im over her. the person.. but she tossed me aside for someone else... and she was cheating on me during the relationship.

    i guess for me... its the mental mind games that can come with a break up.

    You got a lucky break then and shouldnt give her one more thought :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,595 ✭✭✭bonerm


    Didn't think too about them when I was with em, never mind after. That's why they all dumped me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,261 ✭✭✭Sonics2k


    All of them but one.

    Still friends with one or two, mostly ones from when I was much younger.

    I had one of them once.. Garden hose and golf ball also comes to mind.. Man I really miss that girl. :(

    Actually I might still be a little in love with her. :D

    Convincing.


    I've an ex I'm still good friends with. We were in love a long time ago, and it took me years to get over her. But given time, and a bit of distance, we developed a friendship that's pretty good. It's a lot easier since we live on opposite sides of the world, but whenever we're in the same town, we always have a good laugh.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,235 ✭✭✭Dave147


    Have an 'ex' of sorts that I will never fully get over. The reason for that is our relationship ended abruptly when she went back to Italy, I was young and not ready to commit to moving there. We still talk occasionally but I know I will never be 100% over her. It's very very tough, believe me.

    I'm only 21, I haven't exactly had my heart broken a million times. I've been in three relatively 'serious' relationships, with people who I no longer know/think about and are not in my friend circle.

    Don't be so quick to conclude that I'm some bitter middle aged woman who has voodoo dolls of all her ex's :rolleyes:

    ah gosh, sending u a cyber hug (hugs)


    But getting back to the Question- No never, too busy with children and the hubby to be wondering about the past. I know I picked the man who was right for me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,713 ✭✭✭✭Novella


    I'm over all of mine. I've always been the one instigating the break up though, and I suppose, as horrible as this sounds, mentally, I'd probably moved on weeks before I ended things.

    When I was nine this girl a few doors down made me play a game of 'you show me yours and I'll show you mine'.

    Man I miss her, what a little slut.


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 7,943 Mod ✭✭✭✭Yakult


    Yes, tho if she offered to get back together I would say yes.


    Only so I could nail her one more time and then dump her straight after. Muhaha.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 988 ✭✭✭wurzlitzer


    One of exes

    Who I was going out with for seven years left me in a letter

    there is not one day I do not think of him..
    I love/hate him
    but I know I am better off without him
    I will never get over what he did in the end have trust issues now


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,971 ✭✭✭we'llallhavetea_old


    still have nightmares about the bastard tbh. :/


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,333 ✭✭✭RichieC


    Sometimes she might cross my mind alright when I'm drunk.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 356 ✭✭hoorsmelt


    Yeah, there's one who I haven't gotten over and don't know when I will. Better that she's living in Germany, otherwise it'd be even more difficult.

    Was over any ex about an hour later if that.

    Think about a particular one often even though I ended it and still don't regret doing it. More just to wonder if she's OK and if all is well with her.

    Nina S - you will forever be in my dreams, sorry for being a twat.

    i'm curious now about whether anyone who isn't over one of their exes is in a new serious relationship, and if so, whether they've told their new partner that they're still not over one of their exes, still thinking of them while fapping, etc.

    There's one I kind of miss and feel bad when I think of her because I wasn't that nice to her, but I don't jerk off while thinking of her. Yes my current partner knows that I have issues with it but I don't harp on about it! It's not that unusual.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,778 ✭✭✭Pauleta


    A couple of months ago i would of said no but i randomly bumped into one a while ago and she looks phenomenal now, proper Grade A Pussy. I currently have an ingenious plan to post a letter to her house with my name on it with a brochure of a hotel we visited when we were together. If she does not open it herself, she will contact me for a rendezvous for a handover. During the handover i shall open this letter and we can reminisce about how i left her like a rag doll that weekend. She will then remember how much of a fantastic lover i am and i shall bed her once again. Creepy? Potentially, Cunning? Most definitely :D

    Thinking about them sometimes doesn't mean you want to be with them more than your partner. You end up in new, better relationships; you don't get your memory erased.

    An ex of mine named Natalie, lovely girl, in a moment of stupidity I was a complete arsebag to her, if I could take it back I would, if I could change the past I would.

    Kind of girl that ya meet once in a long time, suppose it serves me right for being a prick to her :(

    I'd say that's the one ex I'm not fully over, mainly as things were going well and I fukd up, could do with a Futurama "what if" machine :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,449 ✭✭✭✭Vicxas


    Ah yeah i think about an ex, but as a mate, see how they are. feelings of love are long gone.

    the thread is about exes you're not over, not exes you think about.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,058 ✭✭✭✭Abi


    A Scottish guy living in London. He's been the only one that made me look back and think what if. He had a business over there, so him coming over here was a lot more difficult, whereas I was only doing a little office job at the job at the time. He wanted me to come over and live with him, but I was too scared to make the move. I know he cared about me a lot, but time passed and I moved on. He kept emailing me all the while, and still does from time to time. He told me Im his 'the one that got away'.

    Over him, yes. But memorable.

    Maybe the poll wording should be changed so.

    that is quite true, my current partner knows all about my relationship problems past, i was totally honest about it with him and he read all about problems i caused in black and white himself.

    i left him make his mind up about whether he wanted to be with me as at the time i was mentally ill, he choose to continue dating and i am so glad he did, he's my rock, i have never met any man who was so patient and understanding and kind, i have never had a man love me as much as he does, and i intend on doing right by him, being responsible mature and above all, staying sane! :D

    yes probably so, as it contrasts with the thead title ("Are you fully over a specfic ex?"), and as there's probably very few people who never think about any of their exes, ever.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 101 ✭✭GalwayGunner


    Absolutely.

    She was the first girl I was ever really serious about. Even though its been 5 years I still do think about her, partly because she was the one who ended it and because I was never brave enough to find out the real reason why. Haven't even seen her once since the breakup.

    If I were to see her again now I think it would hit me really hard - suppose its never a good idea to leave things unresolved....

    I am in a serious relationship at the moment - is it fair to be not over an ex while going out with someone else?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,104 ✭✭✭easyeason3


    No I don't think about them at all. But I ended it with most of them so maybe that has something to do with it.

    Now & then I bump into one or two of them & thank my lucky stars that I saw sense & got rid of them.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 27,252 ✭✭✭✭stovelid


    and as there's probably very few people who never think about any of their exes, ever.

    Don't think about any of em, one made it easy to hate her, another, well not an ex, I wish we were still friends but we can't be because I was a retard of a teen that moved in with somebody I had unrequited love for, whups.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,884 ✭✭✭Eve_Dublin


    I still think about a particular ex, the one guy who broke my heart but I wouldn't get back with him even if he begged me (highly unlikely). We weren't right then and we wouldn't be right now (I don't think)...it took some time to realise that. I had him up on a pedastal too long. Funny how enough time passes and you eventually come to that realisation...or not as the case with a few of you here.

    He was Ireland's biggest ride though...I miss him more for aesthetical reasons than anything else.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,964 ✭✭✭ToniTuddle


    Am I fully over a specific ex? The main one...yes, took long enough though :pac:

    Do I still think about them from time to time? Yes, bit difficult not to considering he moved near me and is engaged to my cousin popping out kids! :D

    These days I don't get involved in new relationships until I'm fully over an ex.
    At the moment I'm just enjoying the single scene :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,740 ✭✭✭Asphyxia


    Totally! I don't have any feelings for any ex.

    I don't usually think about them unless I see something on tv or pass something that reminds me of them that's all really.
