PSA: What's with all these people talking with their Ex's?

It's over! Time to move on! She's probably shlobbing half the football team as you read this! And spare me the "oh but we're still good friends!" nonsense. You still think you have a chance with her/him. I'm here to tell you that no, you don't! And even if the planets align, hell freezes over, and the Cubs win the World Series, AND you get back together, the same problems will crop up once again. It's inevitable. Thank you for reading.

 
i'm always in the camp of never burn your bridges with your ex if she's not a drama queen... you can always use her as a wingwoman to pick up other girls.
 
there's a reason they are called ex's.
i might say "hi" to them in passing, but i don't maintain any kind of relationship with them.
 
I wish I didn't have to talk to/about my ex - but since my kids spend a few days a week there, I can't cut the ties quite as cleanly as notfred did yesterday.
 
i was with my ex for 7 years and i will always keep in touch with her. she knows me better than most people, and she's a close friend. now, i'm very much in love with a wonderful girl who I hope to grow old with, but i will always have room in my heart for my ex - nothing romantic or sexual, but a connection nonetheless.

Maybe, just maybe, some of us are able to be friends with ex-girlfriends because we still care deeply about them, but have resigned ourselves to the fact that it won't work.

Shocking concept, I know. Maturity on ATOT? Who'da thunk it?
 
I stay friends with my ex's, or even girls i hardly dated...I mean, why not? Just because you're friends with a girl doesn't mean that you need to get married to her...

My ex is my best friend. And I hang out with him, and I hang out with his new bf.
His new bf and I went to the bar and got drunk the other night.
 
I also agree with the wingwoman concept. Only works when both sides can be mature enough to realize that an intimate relationship just is not going to work. If a girl/woman sees you with another pretty girl, she is much more likely to become interested in you.
 
Being friends with the exs is definitely doable but both parties need to be on the same page as to what type of friendship it is.
