Yeah, still friends with the last one.

:smiley: wasn’t even me who suggested meeting up. laughed at the time at her trying to rustle up an excuse not to meet up, and ending up with that.

always found that weird. even if you’re not happy about a relationship ending, there’s literally no point to venting that to the other party.

I had a similar thing happen to me with someone I didn’t go out for that long with (6 months I think), who basically ended up turning a whole group of people against me because I broke up with her which was apparently the wrong thing to do ‘because she’d had loads of guys mess her about in the past’.

don’t miss any of them tbf which is kind of lucky.

No, not really. One I stayed pretty friendly with, but in hindsight we were both just keeping the idea of getting back together alive and it wasn’t very healthy. In recent years when we’ve both been with other people, we’ve basically stopped talking outside of wishing happy birthday on Facebook or seeing each other with a wider group of friends if we’re both back in our hometown for Christmas.

nope, not any serious relationship ones anyway

oooft that’s rough.

could you burgle his house or something?

having worked in publishing for the past 4 years, I wouldn’t count on him having any sort of money even if he does get published.

best to burgle the place.

lol no why

For me it’s because I still care about her, we ended on really good terms and I don’t make new friends easily so nice to keep one.

Did for a little bit with one ex once we were ‘over’ everything and had both moved on. Still saw each other from time to time but then became kind of apparent that we were very different people so just mutually allowed it to naturally drift to nothing.

I also had 2 people who I was more than casually seeing but not particularly seriously either so was a lot easier to remain friends, but again as they were from when I lived elsewhere it was just a case of the friendship slowly petering out.

1 person I blocked because it was best for her and her behaviour was terrifying and mildly threatening. 2 others didn’t take the break up well so was better not to stay in touch really.

Yes, and as it happens it’s the ones that hurt me most at the time. I guess concerning some of the less significant relationships we’ve drifted apart because we just weren’t that compatible, even as mates.

Depends what you mean by “ex”. I have a good friend that I used to have drunken sex with, but it was nothing more. Also have a good friend that I used to have a massive crush on (that he knew about). Not been in any long-term relationships so that’s about all the data I can provide here
