Will you delete all contact of your ex or you will just leave them there where they are?

[Nestzz]

which one will you do if you do in after break up position?

[Anonymous]

I'm questioning that myself because I brought it up to my current ex. He did not reply about it but he left me there because I know he usually will leave his exes unless his exes severe all ties. lol I have deleted him several times but only came up to add him again! =( We always end up being friends but I wrote him an ultimatum that I am not comfortable being his friend while seeing other women talk to him since I still love him. He already knows.

If I was you and hated his guts, I would delete him. I am planning to but I need other's opinions as well to how to permanently forget him. I have deleted him off my phone but it doesn't really matter because he ends up calling (well before) or texting and I already know it's him. lol I don't have a block on my phone. I would change my num when my plan changes. =\ But this is actually my number which I use for business as well.

I deleted him off my instant messengers. That's pretty much done. I just need to figure out the whole social networking because then everyone of our mutual friends knows something is wrong.

It depends on the relationship and how it ended. For exes who were friends before the relationship and want to still be friends, then definitely keep them. If they don't want to still be friends with you then delete them. That is something that should be discussed during the breakup, so it won't be the surprise of "Oh! my top friend on MySpace has dissappeared! what happened?"

I had the same problem of keeping or deleting an ex from my life. I tried keeping him as a friend, but he didn't want to act like a friend, just a crazy ex who couldn't deal with me moving on, so I deleted him. Truth be told I couldn't be happier now that I have deleted him from my life!

[Reeses-pieces777]

it does dependon situation/ circumstances of the break up

if it was all bad, I would totally block off all contact-Facebook, im, text, phone etc etc even mutual friends and I have done this before and it's fine-if they're a crappy person then it helps to get them completely out of your life and I dont' mean to be mean about it

however

if they were somewhat ok, I'll keep some contact,perhaps change others and that's just how it goes for me-very little communication or none.

[Seenthatmovietoo]

I don't delete anything ...ever. You have no idea when you might need something later. But I'm also not the weak type who might ever change my mind or be suseptable to BS "oh please, oh please, oh please one more chance" nonsense. I keep the data because a) it's out there anyways and IF someone gets a wild hair and makes out of context acccusations then I want to have my own unaltered database to defend myself. One of my biggest recent issues was someone deleting all of my phone texts with them off of MY phone. I was steamed and put a password block on my phone but that still sucks. The phone co still has all the data but still. I'll keep it all but file it away out of daily sight just so that I have it 'in case'. Good luck

[GoodManDave]

Depends on the ex and how the breakup happened.

I suppose if it ended badly, then you have a right to delete all contact. If it became a stalker kind of situation, it'd be a good idea to keep all forms of contact (emails, texts, etc) with printouts, etc so that you have a better standing if it should become a legal issue, but not to contact him/her.

If you're divorced and have kids, then it'd be best to keep the contact information around in case of emergency, etc.

If you end on good terms, or simply because of, say, moving away... and you choose to try for friendship, feel free to keep the info.

[meplusabeemer]

This will depend on how the break up went. In the last one, all of his info was deleted permanently because he hurt me so badly. I cannot speak or face him because of what he did to me. For my own health and healing, I know it's better not to have ANY contact.

Prior to this loser, I have kept their info because we tried to remain friends.

[smellylittlecat]

I really liked my last ex but I had to delete him from my phone, etc. and have no contact... It hurt too much to hear from him even though my heart wants to, but I know he will not return the same feelings for me.

But with someone I am over with easily, don't care for, I usually keep them. lol

[punchxcore]

When my ex broke up with me, I deleted all contact information, but he still continued to want to talk to me at times. I have two of my ex's in my phone currently. Not that they really try to text me or I try to text them. Just in case. Plus I like having numbers in my phone so if they text/call me, I'm not like, who the f*** is this? It's easier for identification.

[klg808]

I've never had an ex per se, but I've had a guy I was "talking to" for a long time who ended up really jerking me around and hurting me a lot. I wanted to cut off all contact with him, and did for a while, but now we're friends again. It's just awful when he tries to start things up again... and I've let that happen way too many times. So I guess I don't cut off contact with my exes, but I do avoid them for a while.

[NMMan]

For the sake of future relationships, I don't keep in contact with my exes - leaving that door open possibly leads to drama down the road, and that's something I would rather not deal with.

[smellylittlecat]

I agree with the drama. My boyfriend kept all his exes and some of them are not over him that they started emailing me hate mail and making fake accounts to break me up! I don't know why he keeps those looneys. It only makes me mad and makes him go crazy after I have to bring it up as an 'insecurity' once they are the ones being very immature about it.

[NMMan]

Yup, that's a perfect example of what I'm trying to avoid, hence my "no contact with exes" policy.

[Anonymous]

I try to leave them where they are and talk casually from time to time, but it never lasts. Once I start dating again and find someone I really care about I feel bad for keeping in contact with an ex. I don't want to hurt the one I'm with (even if they say it's ok), so I'll become more and more distant until I don't talk to my ex at all. I don't usually delete contact info unless I get a new phone or I'm pruning through my contact lists.

[andashsays]

i would say keep them in there but if they had like a little pet name as ther contact change it to there real name

you never know if you wanted to fix thing or get back together you will need his info :)

so I vote keep it in

[mrsvincenoir]

DELETE.

If the relationship is over there is no point in keeping in touch,unless your going to do the whole "oh yes lets break up but stay friends" which genuinely I dont.

[littlesqueakers]

leave them where they are beecause I like to stay friends with me ex's because there is a reason why I dated them in the first place and I would want to still hang out!

[Babygirl78]

Depends on the break up, had my ex fiance was really cruel and hurtful, he said some things that he can never take back and went out of his way to hurt me, so with him no.

But I'm friends with most of my exes and they're great. I think how feelings are handled and if you feel you can be honest and open with them as well. Two of my exes are really good friends of mine and I can tell them anything. In fact one was going to stand up for me at my wedding that never happened.

[MirooSweety]

for me I am planning to block and delete him and all our comment friends,

and create a new Facebook account, new mail

get new mobile number so I cut all the ways that may make us recontact because I know I am weak and I may accept him back anytime and if we break again it should be the last

[thina22]

I do delete them so that I can't see his contact numbers and accidentally see it when I scan my phone/address book. But the bad thing is, since he is my ex, I actually have his number memorized.

[ouple]

I'd leave them where they were, because you'll never know in advance if you really care for them, and they to you. Never cut off all contact.

[YourKandy]

I stop all contact I block you whatever I need to do honestly it feels great when you find someone else and you have nothin to hide! That's just how I see It!:)

[Littletad]

There is hardly any benefit in keeping ex's as friends.

[Dela1111]

Its definitely best to delete all contact with them, since its the easiest way to get over them.

[girloncue]

I usually do. But if I was previous friends, I wouldn't.

[TonyDaTig3r]

Depends how it ended. If a girl cheats or something she's all gone...if it ends well then I keep some contact with her.

[brandibeautyy95]

I wouldn't change anything, I would wanna keep in touch with my ex regardless of what happened

[wally]

Yeah, I will Delete them from my life. because I moved on and never look to the back.
