Do girls think that NOT speaking to your ex makes a break up easier?

I was engaged to a really good girl for 3 years. We broke up about a year ago because we were young and I was changing from 1 job to another and was out of work for about 6 months and her mom just was not digging me (she loved me for 2 1/2 years). And I was spending a lot of time with the guys being 23 years old. Anyway it was a good break-up but now when I see her she turns the other way and don't say hello. She told a girl I was talking to I was a jerk. And she knows that's not true. So I ask, do girls sometimes think its easier to break-up and not speak so that you don't miss your ex?

Update: I don't want to get back with her. We are both seeing other people but I can say hello,how are you?. And I made it sound like I was a bum. I was switching from a job I HATED to the job I wanted.    5 months ago

Your Ex is what my Mother would call "Simple Minded". Simple in the mind. If you broke up over something like. Physical Abuse, Jail, Infidelity, Dealing Drugs, or some major lies (being Married & not telling) then no I don't think I would - EVER - talk to you again. But that doesn't seem to be the case. The girl is "Simple Minded" I wouldn't waste my time entertaining that Girl - she is mad because you moved on! Good luck w/the new job - wish you well. Be Happy!

No it doesn't make it easier! My ex hasn't talked to me in 8 months over a misunderstanding. It is shit and a sign of a immature man. Maybe if you broke up with her she was really hurt. When we agree to marry a man and it ends that shit hurts. Just because her mom didn't like you or because you changed jobs is a weak excuse not to be with a person that you love. Both of you should try to grown up and talk to one another

Depends on the circumstances. I think that when I still have feelings for a guy that I don't want to have feelings for then yes I believe not talking to him makes breaking up somewhat "easier".

Its sometimes hard to speak and not have emotions run back, so yes a lot of times it is easier to not speak until you are both completely over each other.

Never talk to an Ex

Don't believe the myths; I've never seen real world evidence that supports this idea that exes can be good friends - sometimes girls I know will say they are friend with their Ex, but when I talk to the guy, he'll give a different story - plus most girls you will see/date will flip out if they hear, or even think, your still talking to an ex. Its bad news all the way around.

I know it sucks - spending almost 3 years with someone for "NOTHING" - chalk it up to a learning lesson.

Cheers

Answerer Doesn't matter if you want to get back with her or not, being friends with an ex will only cause problems down the road - if you go separate ways and happen to run into each other later in life, like say 10 years from now, it may be an entirely different story. - 5 months ago
lovebird01 I agree with you completely; it just doesn't work to be friends with an ex! - 5 months ago

I think its best to make a clean break when you breakup. There's nothing to be gained, really, by trying to be friends. If you have to deal with them, you can stay civil and friendly. That is, don't be mean and rude to them. But don't try to be a close friend. There are usually too many emotions involved. Remember my comment that I've used many times on this site: "There's a reason why they are an ex.!"

People mask their true feelings quite often. If she truly does not feel you are a jerk, she is probably just masking from others the hurtfulness the breakup causes but it sounds as if she may be still 'young' and not managing it well.

Also, remember, all of us have some pride. When a relationship breaks down it indicates some level of failure. None of us like to fail and none of us like for others to think we could not possibly maintain a relationship. So we get defensive and one way to do that is lash out at the other person as being inadequate, responsible for the breakup, or the kind of person who doesn't have the capacity to love (i. E. A jerk).

What is your favorite outfit for a night out with friends?
Tight pair of jeans with a light colored top and most likely a top under it.. I like to layer my clothes...
A nice pair of boots to top it off.. give me a little height

How do you style your hair and do your make-up?
My hairs pretty shirt but Id blow dry it so it has a little height to it.. and show off my highlights. I'm not to big in make-up I wear it once in a while.. A little eye liner some eye shadow.. and of course lip gloss and finish t with some dangling ear rings

Do I have style?
