I don’t talk to exes. If one called me and started talking about her recent bad luck, I would know why she is calling and it’s not because of love!

People overall need to a much better god damn job of communicating exactly how they want things to proceed after breaking up. Especially if you are doing the breaking up because YOU had time to think through the fall out to come after.
I told my last ex to never contact me or my family again a few days after I broke up with her. That was not my original intention. However I gave her the respect of sitting down face to face with her to break up with her.
She absolutely went batshit insane. Screaming, crying, throwing things, making a scene in a public place (we got coffee before walking and talking). It ended with her having to be taken into psych evaluation. I knew she had issues but nothing prepared me for that. A few days later after she got out she still was acting irate over text messages. That is when I dropped the axes and gave her a crystal clear direct message to never contact me or my family again. She respected that thank God. It was a warning.
But absolutely no women had ever been clear and direct with me about how things should be after I got dumped. In fact no woman has ever given me the same kind of respect like I did when I sat down with my ex. I’m a man so somehow someway if I’m expendable and possibly even “a threat” despite never losing my temper when getting dumped.
There was one ex in particular years ago who said “don’t be a stranger” when she broke up with me. It was more of a sad break up than an angry one at the time. I accepted it. Told her a part of me would always love her and gave her a hug and left. Then a few weeks later during an agreed upon meeting (for business) she proceeded to give me one of the worst insults I’ve ever taken from a woman in my entire life. Treating me as less than human (without provocation) was her selfish pos way of saying “don’t contact me”.
But I notice women tend to act all wishy washy about where to go after breaking up (some me too but I’ve never been that way). It’s like some sort of bs contingency plan just in case they later regret their decision. They don’t want to state what directly needs to be said.
10 Reply I wouldn't mind being contacted by any of my exes because I only have hard feelings toward one of them. I never want to hear from that particular bitch again. But I wouldn't mind finding how that others are doing.
I'm FB friends with my very first girlfriend when she was 14 when I was 16.
The only girlfriend I ever loved with every fiber of my being found me on FB 20 years after we separated. By then I had been married for 16 years. We even spoke a few times on the phone. I was thrilled just to be in touch and to know that she was doing okay. About five years later, I read that she died for a sudden medical problem. It broke my heart.
I wouldn't give any of them anything, though.14 Reply- 1 y
@VIVANT. It's a long story, but I had had sort of a crush on her in jr. high and high school, even tough I never pursued her because she was several years younger that I. I also thought she was kind of a ditz and her family was low class. I admit that my attraction was purely physical. She had flawless, pink and white skin, a beautiful face, green eyes, strawberry blond hair, and the sexiest ass in the world. Hey, I was a kid. LOL But at least I had enough class to not take advantage of her, even though she had a crush on me, too.
When I was about 35, she contacted me out of the blue. She had a song and dance about nearing the end of the divorce from her husband and expected to get a good settlement. She said the guy was an abusive monster.
I had just lost weight and gotten in shape after nearly five years of being unhappy. So, I invited her over. She was more gorgeous than ever. After we dated for a few weeks, she suggested renting a house together so that her kids could visit when it was her turn with them.
I was living in a condo that I owned but wasn't happy with, so I rented it out and moved in with her.
We were supposed to share expenses, but I wound up paying most of the rent.
As time went by, I started realizing that she was clinically unstable.
One day, I yelled about something. A few days later, I went to work, and when I got home that night, she and some her friends had brought a moving van and loaded up all her stuff, including some of my stuff. She even took $500 that I had set aside for the next month's rent.
I eventually recovered the $500. In the meantime, she was telling people that "I" as an abusive monster.
She used me to get by while her divorce was pending. I was naive and blinded by sex. You live and learn.

On a positive note, I did get to satisfy my life long fantasy of ravishing that girl a LOT. She was quite eager for that. Then, when I move out of the house we were renting, I found a wonderful apartment. I really loved that place. And, shortly afterwards, I met a lady who turned out to be the most amazing girlfriend I ever had in my life. She's the one I lived with for over a year and loved with every fiber of my being.

In the case of my last ex, just her hitting me up!
I guess I could say the same about my previous ex but, not quite as strongly.
My first ex, nothing, really. We were still friends when we broke up and I haven't seen or heard from her in 22 years or so.

Is that bad?
I don’t mind peope contacting me. If they did something weird I’ll deal with it but just saying hi, I’m not suspicious 😊
31 ReplyIf they have a boyfriend or recently broke up. Or they know your dating someone.
A female ex is going to want to get back together around Christmas, birthdays, valentines or weddings.

The fact that I failed to take reasonable steps to prevent an ex from being able to contact me.

If they randomly pops out of no where always make sure to do a background check on them to know about their motive. Usually they don’t pop without a purpose
11 Reply It will be the things she/he used to do that made apart of why you broke up. It is not always the same as individuals defer.
11 ReplyIt's most likely because either no one wants them or they're wanting to dump the person they left you for and want to see if they can try to swing back your way. Recycling old flames is a major no for me.

I honestly don't know because if you're my ex you're not going to be hitting me up when I'm done I'm done we're not having any friendships we're not rekindling anything you're my ex for a reason so I'm gonna leave the past in the past how can you move forward when you have any even close that last chapter of your life that's the biggest mistake people make trying to be friends with their ex

LOL Just the fact that they're hitting me up is suspicious, unless it's for sex. Then I don't care.
