I recently noticed that my ex of 5 years deleted and blocked me from Facebook i also texted her 2 times just to ask how she is doing but no response.
I kind of deserved it though(some of you might remember a thread from me not so long ago).

Hoping that when enough time passes we'll be able to be friends again.

I was for a while, but after a month or two I think she got weirded out. It was pretty weird tbh.

She slept in my bed a few nights, I massaged her feet.. we just didn't fuck. Sucks that we grew apart but probably for the best. I miss my best friend more than I miss my girlfriend. I blocked her on everything a month ago. I replied a few weeks later to just say sorry. But that's about it.
 
Only one of my ex's hate me. I am still in contact with all of the other ones. I'm not even sure why they still talk to me on their end after some of the stuff I've done, but we all get along great. But the last time I saw the one that hates me she punched me in the balls in full view of an entire bar so.... I'm avoiding that one.

I have learned that best friends are more valueble then girlfriends, just for the fact that the relationship you have with them are more stable.
 
nope. absolutely cannot be friends with her. we tried the friends thing after the breakup because it was something she really wanted, I obliged because I got to still see her but it fucked with my head tremendously. Plus she immediately hooked up and had a new BF like three weeks after we broke up, so I hated her for that too. I tried tried tried to be her friend but I just couldn't. Every time we'd hangout we'd argue and it wasn't good. Plus she was a horrible human being who also tried to subconsciously fuck with me, only she was too stupid to realize I could see through her bullshit every time.

I finally had enough after hearing a story about her from a coworker, I blocked her from AIM 8 months ago, she still texts me randomly "hi, how are you doing?" but I just ignore it. In fact, I got one three weeks ago and she actually decided to ask how our cat was doing (I put him to sleep 6 months ago) and I almost responded since she doesn't know, but in the end she threatened to leave him in a shelter if I didn't take him back to care for him after she catnapped him and packed all her shit and left my house. so yeah, fuck her.
 
Nope. She IM'd me last month, we talked a bit and she left her number. I called, she didn't pick up so I left a message, no call back. Oh wells.

I just didn't feel like I could be myself around her after we broke up. So the friendship wasn't going to work.

For the best, she was probably just holding off those 3 weeks just not to hurt your feelings. Sounds like a crazy bitch.

crazy bitch doesn't begin to describe how fucked up this girl is. the three weeks didn't spare me my feelings, when she packed all her shit while I was at work she left with him and she moved in with him and his roommate. her story is their relationship developed out of him letting her stay there since she moved from CO out here to be with me, so she had no place to go after the breakup, though she could have returned to CO. Ugh, I hate her so much, which I know is unhealthy but I still can't help it.
 
I only hate one of my ex-girlfriends, since i don't live in my hometown anymore sometimes i chat with some of my other ex-girlfriends... but that's a lot of years later since we broke up :P, so as someone said already: "better to move on", because if one girl wants to talk to you in the future probably she'll the first move... well that happens to me.

Regarding last ex, be gratefull. I was in a similair kind of situation and she bailed out on me, not that I hold a grudge or anything. It's good that you have her to support you, but try life as much of your own life and not get to stuck up on her.

Yeah definitely. I know it's just a period of time before I'm finally able to move on, but I am glad she's still a friend to me at the very least.

I'm sorry to hear about your situation though :(

Tried. Didn't work. We ended up making things really bad by trying that. I regret it because it resulted in us parting ways on bad terms.

Most relationships end badly. Otherwise they wouldn't end.

As for me, there's one girl I dated for 6.5 years (we were engaged, actually) who I am still on fairly good terms with. She has moved away and I've since gotten married, but we keep in touch from time to time. There's another girl I dated for three years who probably wishes I was dead.
 
Every single one of my relationships has ended in a burning mess. I would never want to see any of those catty bitches if my life depended on it.
 
Nope, haven't talked to any of my ex gfs in many years. None of them were breakups on bad terms or anything, I just had no interest in keeping that much potential drama around after the breakup.

Haha thank you, I have recovered from it now and life goes on. It is a bit difficult to pick up your life again, but I want to put it out there that you will be able in time :)
 
One of them, no. The other one, yes. I'm actually very good friends with her. She's in a very happy relationship, and the dude is a good guy. Couldn't be happier for her. :)

Everytime I've tried to be "just friends" after a serious relationship we just end up hooking up again and making the situation awkward. Best to cut ties and move on.

This.

Just cut all contact and don't look back, it hurts but its so much better in the long run.
 
Nope, there are a few if I see them at the bar or somewhere we will hug, and catch up. But we don't keep contact after that. Only one I literally have stayed friends with was someone i dated and didnt have sex with.
 
Sane people break up for a genuine reason. Why would anyone want to still be friends to someone that they decided "this is a bad person to have a relationship with"?
 
Just broke up with my girl this morning. The reasons are complicated and so was the relationship. It was too stessful for me (long distance and other reasons) none of those other reasons are because of her. It wasn't because of her personality, habits or anything like that. I basically cut it short before it got really messy later. Anyway, my feelings want to keep talking to her and at least be friends but I know that it's done. Probably won't talk much at all anymore. I'm trying to come to grips with that. She took me off her Facebook list right away lol. Oh well, time to move on.
 
I'm friends with one, but we've only spoken once in the past year.

The only other major ex in my past I haven't seen or spoken to since high school and I never will again. Fuck her.

Then I guess there's my current gf who is also my current ex (good luck figuring that one out lol), we're still on good terms I suppose.
 
The one girl who I dated close to a year: yes. We're incredibly fast friends now. We had an awkward period of about a year where we barely spoke, but in the last six to eight months we've really become close again.

The evil ex: no. I tried being friends with her three times, but she carries so much drama and depression around her that it just became tiring and hurtful to keep trying, so I cut her off.
 
Facebook friend? Yes. Friend that you talk to every day and do stuff with? Not anymore. I'm not too huge on staying friends with exes. Most of the time, they try and patch things up and get back together which never works! I foolishly fell for it once because I didn't want to hurt him more. But later realised staying friends with an ex is a lost cause and just not worth all the drama.
 
Have tried on occasion, but it usually ends up feeling like too much work to navigate through all the awkward stuff.

Very, very good friends with my ex-girlfriend. Mostly because now we share the same taste in guys, lol.

Haha wow! How did she take that after you told her?

Man i was hoping for like a 50/50 type of situations but there is a good chance i'll never be able to talk to her normal. I kind of understand her though, i broke her heart when she was still very much in love with me.

And that fucking sucks.
 
Lol no, after our break up my life took a sharp downward spiral. Really want a relationship now, being out of school its hard to meet new girls however.
 
I'll occasionally contact my only ex because she has had a couple articles in our local paper so I'm merely congratulating her when I see that she was printed again, asking how she is doing, but nothing beyond that. I don't think I could "hook-up" with her for because I'm not sure how I would emotionally handle a hook-up with someone I once cared about. Also she isn't that attractive and the more I think about it the more I realize I might have just used her as a way to get rid of my V-Card.
