I would never stay talking to an ex for more than a week tops. If they text, i usually won't respond unless they’re telling me how much they miss “us” and then i’ll certainly be like “continue” just to get a feed off their “regretful” energy. If they call, i answer because i dont know the number. Once i find out who it is, i’ll often hear them out. Depending on whats being said, we may text after. But i’ll likely say goodbye at the end of the day. I can think of very few who have slithered through the week with the reminiscing topics. But my mind is made up from the get go that i won't be taking them back, i just like hearing people claim to miss me 🤣 And we know deep down, most probably dont. They just want to see if they can still pull you like back in the day. Nah hoe, we both got game if you really wanna go there

Yes, I am still good friends with a couple of them.
I WOULD talk to Sally if she ever wanted to talk to me again. We just haven't seen each other in about 22 years.
I'd talk to Carol if she had a civil tongue in her head, at the time!
I don't think I'd talk to Anu. First, she cheated on me big time, then she accused me of trying to be sexual with her niece! All I did was tell her that she was very pretty!!
No but Thanksgiving, I did get receive a picture from a "friend" of her stretched out in bikini off back of boat with lap top. Technical writing or data crunching would be my assumption there. She is definitely one of those that men want to possess, own, and have babies with... "Still single" under the pic. :-) Can smile now...

No, if she tries to talk to me again I’ll sock her one.
Nope, kind of difficult to stay in touch with an ex when you're seeing someone else. I would still feel as though I am somewhat cheating, even if it was just harmless texting and talking.
Not conversations; just occasional emails or some social media messaging service and almost always me checking up on them around the holidays or birthdays. I might get a perfunctory reply.
No. I delete numbers after a week or two so there's no chance i can message them.
Won't be able to with current partner as we have kids. So if we split we have to keep it civil for themNo but I would answer as a friend, if he should reach out to me but occasionally his sister does text me and then her and I talk for a while
Yes, but not regularly. Like we just wish each other happy new year or something.
Some of them but not all. It depends on how it ended mostly.
My prior wife called me recently, 10 years after our divorce? WTF?
No, wish I heard from her at least occasionally to know she’s OK. Wasn’t in a very good place last I saw her and was worried for a long time
Yes. I mean mostly about cat custody and finances.
Just one of them, ironically, my very first!
No. Had brief occasional contact a while ago but didn't make attempts to maintain.
Yes we’re just friends I respect the boundary I know his girlfriend xD

Only when he begs me to take him back.
