I have only two serious exes. One I haven’t seen since 2001 or so and had no communication at all with since 2003 or so. The other is my best friend. In fact, I really need to stop referring to her as my ex. When I say things like “I was feeling down so I sent a text message to my ex”, people get entirely the wrong idea.
I’m a good breaker-upper apparently. I still keep in touch with all but one of my ex-girlfriends. Some maybe every 4 or 5 months, the latest ex I still talk to every few days.
I only have two exes and no, I don’t keep in touch with either. One I don’t care to ever speak with again. The other I spoke with a couple of times about two years ago. (that was around 9 years after we broke up). I like the situation just fine as it is.
Nahhh, I don’t try to keep in touch with any of them. As far as I’m concerned, the past is past, and anyway, I broke up with the last ex well over 17 years ago, so it’s too far in the past. I’m happily married now, and if I started looking up old partners, Mrs. Fresh might have some questions, and by “questions,” I mean kitchen implements to embed in my skull.
I make no effort to. If they contact me (e.g. send me an e-mail) I’ll reply, if they call me I’ll pick up the phone and talk, but I don’t try to stay in touch.
One of my exes I still see regularly but that’s because we are both involved in the same group that has regular events that we both attend.
Another one tried to keep in touch with me, but I used the lazy approach (I know this is not very nice - mea culpa), and if she called or e-mailed, I would reply or chat on the phone, saying “It was good hearing from you” but would never take the initiative. After a while she stopped trying to reach me. What made this situation all the stranger is that I’m still good friends with her sister (who’s married with two kids, I am also married with two kids now, there was never any romantic interest there.) Now that I think back, I’m sure that the sister always liked me more than the ex did! (Meaning that the sister thought I was a good guy and wished that we had stayed together.)
