Why do people have so much hate for their exes?

[red324]

You know you're gonna take them back unless they really did you wrong, so quit hating on them as a coping mechanism.

Not everyone takes their ex back. Some relationships end because of genuine harm, betrayal, or incompatibility, and moving on is healthier than holding onto something broken. Hate can sometimes be a defense mechanism, but in many cases, it’s just a reflection of the pain someone endured. Healing takes different forms for different people.

It's an ego thing for a lot of people.

"Ugh. HOW did I think THAT person was a good idea?"

I don’f have any hate towards any of my exes (even the abusive one) because they each thought me some valuable lessons. I hate some of the things that they did sure, but not them as my ex.

I do however hate my fiance’s ex 😂 she’s been stalking him, terrorizing him with phone calls and even trying to sabotage our relationship multiple times.

I don’t. My ex and I broke up amicably and with good reason.

I assumed in those cases their exes really hurt them, I have nothing but love for mine.

Not all exes are bad. Some relationships can be very friendly and ambical. Some splits are not because of hate, just irreconcilable differences in personality.

I don't. I am good friends with all my exes except one.
