    Do boardsies do it?
    Through mutual friends or via facebook perhaps?
    I do it, although I'm starting to think it's a bad idea.
    In my case I've got a very hot ex girlfriend who is now in a relationship, yet keeps posting stunning looking photos of herself...sometimes with 'him'.
    I think it might be best for me to just delete her and stop fapping over her pics?

    I try to keep in touch but the basement freaks me the fuck out.

    At night you can hear whimpers from down there!

    *shudders*


    And never, EVER stop fapping over them. If you let them take away your fapping they've won.

    Whoa right there Ted, let's not do anything too hasty.

    Pm me these 'hot pics' and I'll get back to you asap, ref the fap-ability of her.

    It can be dodgy enough, I've inadvertently pulled my ex...twice

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,496 ✭✭✭Boombastic

    You could email her a happy birthday, and if she replies then you're in....

    your email account, Reading a reply.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,479 ✭✭✭Notorious97

    Other ex is a lunatic so no i stayed clear of that


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20 subaru scooby


    What's in the past stays in past. Delete her too!! less u know off her the better.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,968 ✭✭✭✭Praetorian Saighdiuir


    Im friends with a few exes, theres a few others I steer clear of because they are feckin mental. Sure, isn't it the same for everyone.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,250 ✭✭✭✭Iwasfrozen


    Can't believe it hasn't come yet.... "Thinly veiled I have a hot ex thread."


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,291 ✭✭✭✭Gatling


    Just masturbate over her pictures ,or at least chance your arm and ask her for some proper hot pictures to masturbate over


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,456 ✭✭✭✭Mr Benevolent


    Fuck no. Literally and metaphorically.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 9,441 ✭✭✭old hippy


    Some of them are good friends, we see each other on occasion. Some just via email/social networks.

    One or two, I'd rather sandpaper my knackers for all eternity than run into them ever again.

    That said, I'm sure they'd feel similar sentiments about me.

    We all make mistakes. We've all gone out with a "wrong 'un".

    Would I change any of it? Not for a moment. It's all a learning curve :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,381 ✭✭✭Skuxx


    I'm still in contact with a couple of my exs, one in particular is now by far my best friend! We broke up about 2 years ago, both have been with other people since then! There's no relationship feelings there between us, but I love her like I love my mother and would literally do anything for her! No one realy understands how we can be such good friends after having a break up!

    Might want to rephrase a bit? ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,855 ✭✭✭Nabber


    Yeah I keep touching my exes. Don't we all?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,258 ✭✭✭✭Rabies


    I'm still friends with all my ex's over here. Even the one that I had a bad break up with, that took a year before she would speak to me or be in the same room. All good now though. The rest are all fine.
    Current g/f has met most of my ex's through work and social events. No probs with it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,324 ✭✭✭BillyMitchel


    chicks I dated for a few months and just drifted apart are forgotten about the next day.

    Serious relationships I've been in (3) I'm till quite friendly and would chat on a weekly basis and we would still be reasonably close. We never mention or its never asked if we are with other people.

    I'm a cool kinda guy.

    Its a tough one really, for me some exes were more clingy than others making it hard to be friends..clingy in the sense of possibly trying to get back together. This can be dangerous, they are the ones ye gotta cut loose in my experience.

    x, x, x,xxxxxxxx ted you're already "friends" with her. granted you have the urge to delete so what gives?!! Isn't it enough that she tolerates your frapage.

    I don't know if this campaign is against 'facebook' or pretty girls puttin themselves up there.... same difference? What if they withdraw!

    facebook and girlfriends don't go - past or present

    I disagree. Depends on how past your past is, if you follow?

    I've been single so long , my past is very long - I think I'm the wrong person to advice on relationships :mad:

    Oops. Ok, well, sometimes being in a relationship isn't all that.

    I think I'd better throw the towel in before I say something stupid (if I haven't done so already)

    Peace out, y'all xx

    'Friends' on FB but that's it. I have blocked all mention from my newsfeed though. Definitely not friends, in any way, shape or form.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,801 ✭✭✭Ruudi_Mentari


    she may be more willing to communicate with you on here, ted..

    ted.......


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,293 ✭✭✭1ZRed


    I'm still on friendly terms with the girls I've gone out with but we don't keep in touch, we're all doing our own thing, but we're able to have a laugh when we do run into each other.

    One guy I was hanging around with for a while though; thank fuk you're all the way over there in New Zealand where you should live out the rest of your days you absolute fuking headwreck of a lad!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,724 ✭✭✭✭CianRyan


    I have an ex, if you could call her that, that tries to contact me every 6 months or so, every time I just ignore her and forget about it but she never seems to get the idea.
    It's just weird and it makes me feel uncomfortable, I don't like it.

    So no, I don't keep in touch with my ex's and if you do, they probably think you're creepy.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,589 ✭✭✭Awesomeness


    Most of the girls I date I meet abroad and have stayed friends with all of them. Have met up with a few of them when we have been in the same areas.

    Only part that can be tricky is when current girlfriend knows your staying with ex. But I am always up front about it and its always been fine

    Would have some contact (the odd email from one and occasional social media from another one) - in all cases they are happily married (as am I) so there is no problem and they would know my husband as friends independently of me.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,919 ✭✭✭✭Gummy Panda


    You could email her a happy birthday, and if she replies then you're in....

    your email account, Reading a reply.

    I had an ex all of a sudden do that before. Not just one mail but a few bedore my birthday. I consulted with the lads and they thought she was starting to play games. I asked her what was going on and why she was contacted me.

    Got abusive email back calling me a weirdo and was looking into things too much :(


  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    My exs is still a great friend. Not just to me but to the girls I am currently going out with. I understand it is an issue for some people but so far it has never been an issue for me or us.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,214 ✭✭✭✭Pherekydes


    Despite being married to her for 7 years, I wouldn't have anything to do with her. She's an ex for a reason.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,439 ✭✭✭SunnyDub1


    Personally I can't see how anyone can remain close Friends with their ex's, no matter how or why the relationship ended. they are "ex's" for a reason but I am only speaking from my own experience.

    Finished on good terms with my last ex, said we would remain friends etc etc but really don't have any interest in who's he's seeing now, how great he looks, how crap he looks, what car he is driving etc etc.


  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    I guess much of it comes down to what that "reason" or "reasons" are. For many people - like myself - the reasons are just that this was not the person I wanted to spend that part of my life with. I did not see my path in life being one I wanted to dedicate solely to that person and share it with.

    But just because it was not the type of relationship I wanted with her - does not mean there was NO type of relationship I wanted with her and what we did have together was good material for a close friendship.

    While you can not see how anyone could remain friends with an ex therefore - I similarly can not see why anyone would have an "all or nothing" approach to their relationships. Only a sith deals in absolutes after all :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,987 ✭✭✭Legs.Eleven


    Not close friends with any exes. 2 of them are friends on Facebook and we have the odd chat but that's it. Wouldn't call them friends as such, more mementos from the past.

    The guy who I had the second most serious relationship I've been after this one is very good friends with all my friends who he met through me but as I ended it and live in different countries, it's no problem. He's a great person and I wish him all the best. Not friends with any who ended it with me though and that's grand as I've no interest in their lives. Only one ended badly years ago but besides from him, I parted with the others on good terms and the relationships just ran their course. Don't really care how they are though tbh. Funny how someone so close to you can become a stranger again.


  • Hosted Moderators Posts: 23,223 ✭✭✭✭beertons


    Do you mean keep in touch with your cock or the talk? The latter was probably why you broke up in the first place.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,648 ✭✭✭desertcircus


    Have a couple of exes as friends on Facebook, but interaction is limited. There's one ex who deleted me straight away, and she was probably right to. Haven't heard from her in years.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,175 ✭✭✭hoodwinked


    I am friends with one or two of my exs and for one of them i'm glad we kept in touch as he introduced me to my now husband.

    we are still good friends too (he is also good friends with my husband since he was in his class at college) and we'd head to gigs and nights out together, sometimes just the two of us, him and my husband are into this warps gaming thing so they'd hang out doing that.

    i'm also friends with his girlfriend she's lovely and much better suited to him than i was.
