One of my ex's is a good friend. Really. He's like family. That is now. Back then I didn't talk to him for two years.

I am friendly with a few of my ex's. That can only work if you arent still hung up on each other.

As long as you're still hurting, you can't be friends. Get over it, then figure it out.

I broke up with my bf about 7 months ago and Sunday he called to say that the business that he wanted "us" to start was finally a go. The call lasted one minute 35 seconds, I thought I had moved on but now I feel like I am back to square one.
I know that I can never be with him but he was the love of my life and it really hurts!!
We just could never get on the same page and fought all the time. I am a giver and he is a taker.

Am I imagining this or are a lot of you using the term ex rather loosely? Is someone you have seen for a month or two an ex if you stop seeing each other?

If so shouldn't POF have another dumb question for your profile reading...how many ex's do you have?

I broke up with my X in Feb. he kept phoning me, so I blocked him. Why not do that? In my case, I had to block several numbers, as he started calling from different pay phones. Now, he has finally given up on that, now only sends me email once a week!

[quote/My question in this thread was why do they seem to think they have the right to jump in / out of our lives. They don't have that right.

just take it as it compliment.. say "thank you..& Goodbye" if youre not as strong to be his friend at that particular time.. or you might just wanna be honest with him and say.. "look .. dont be calling me willy nelly cuz thats makes me wanna jump your bone"

im sure he'll appreciate that..OP

With most of my ex-es...there was at least SOME part of the relationship that was working...and I think it is that inner self that realizes that, and when you run into them. or they call or e-mail or whatever, it drives you nuts because you know that everything in the relationship wasn't a total shambles...whether it was the closeness, the sex, or whatever...and it drives you up a tree because they know it too...

Beer or sex will help you through the rough spots...:)

In my case, my ex has never once in 14 months (my ex is a she) tried to get back together, other than to manipulate things to go her way. As for me a man wanting to try to be sentimental about a birthday, now that could go one of three different ways in my thinking.

First, it is just polite to NOT forget a birthday, no matter who it is, even Cruella DeVille.

Secondly, there may be feelings of "how it once was" and a bit of sentiment going on.

Thirdly, it could be an attempt to try to rekindle something. For the kids sake, why not? Maybe it wasn't that bad afterall.

Lastly, if you were the one who did the leaving, then he will be more inclined to try to win you back. If it was the other way around, you would probably be the one sending the card.

My two cents.

An ex called me in early May - I had been seeing my new and current gf for about 3 months then. Needless to say I wasn't amused or confused. I launched a torpedo and sank the ex's battelship and then hung up on her.

Who cares if these people from the past show up - They would like to see us fail and sucker us back in. Just don't let them do it. I could care less what my ex does and I would never go back to her even if hell did freeze over. I would rather take my new gf ice skating on the flames - cause damn it, she's hot enough to heat hades all on her own
