I thought I 'd pose this question to members of the board. I had a group of my best buddies over for poker the other night, and my character was attacked over unlikely situation...

On the weekend, I had an ex-girlfriend call me to say hello, update me on her life, and ask my advice about something personal in the middle of our poker game. This relationship ended probably 5 years ago and it wasn't much of a relationship really, most sexual actually:rolleyes: .

Anyway, what my guy friends went on an on about was how 'weird' it is that I'm still friends with her (and pretty much all my ex-girlfriends actually)... and how its strange that I talk to them semi-regularly.

Does anyone else have cordial relations with the EXs, or is it just me? They all saw it as some kind of major 'character flaw'... that I hadn't had a breakup end on really bad terms. What gives?
 
I'm friends with all but one.

Of the serious ones that is, and even a couple of the casual ones.

My ex from University (late 80's) and I used to stay in touch quite a bit, though recently she has disappeared. And I mean disappeared. I hope she is well. We used to have these occasional sex romps every once in a while.

My ex from the early 90's and I still stay in touch also. And well, I slept with her every once in a while as well, the last time being 2 years ago.

My ex that I lived with for many years and I have NOTHING to do with each other, however, I think that' more her call than mine as even after we split up, she'd come over every week or two for a year and we'd always end up in the sack. It was very fucked up. But she told me that I was vastly superior in the sack compared to her hubby, so girls will be girls.

My recent ex and I were out for dinner last weekend, however, we have never ended up in bed again.
 
Unfortunately I have lost contact with most of my exes.
A few I have seen after we broke up for a fun sexual romp.

My most recent won't have anything to do with me. She loves me too much and thinks too much. In her opinion, if she cant have me, she is better off pretending that I don't exist.
Its too bad cos I would like to keep in touch

To answer your question supahot! I don't think it is a strange thing at all that you keep in touch with them and are still friends.
You know as well as I
Women are like jobs!
Its easier to find another one when you already have one!
Never burn you bridges when you split. You never know when or if you may need to contract each others services down the road! :-)
 
Yes Sir.

It's OK to stay friends with your ex girlfriends. JUST DON'T INTRODUCE THEM TO ONE ANOTHER.

Damn Good Advice! LOL:p

When I was a student ... at one point I lived with 7 other guys under one roof. One of my housemates was such a poonhound... (fuck a girl a few times then NEVER call or acknowledge her existence). One night I was in the library studying and I overhear a group of woman whispering his name, and laughing. I eavesdrop on their convo and three of his former conquests are conspiring to screw him. I remember almost shitting myself - I was laughing so hard.

Hell hath no fury like a 'group' of women scorned!

Supahotgavin...never mind all this ex boyfriend girlfriend stuff....more impotantly , do you fold weak aces in early position...?
 
poker

do you fold weak aces in early position...?

Me generally ,no but I'm aggresive.

Depends on the blinds, and your opponents. Tee guys I play with are brutal! I can read 'em like harry potter (gavin adds english accent for effect).

G.
 
sorry if im hijacking your thread....but just an unsolicited tip...i would not play weak aces unless i was in position[close to the button.].because if i limp in or raise in early position and get 3 or 4 callers and i flop an ace,,now what? does one of those guys have a better ace...i muck them in a full table...shorthanded or near the button, maybe...now back to your original question, sorry....
 
Well I guess it all depends on HOW things ended for you two...

It is possible if there was an amicable split but I find that more often than not you say you'll be friends when you freshly break up but as time goes on you drift apart....you just get too busy with your own lives and next thing you are distant memories to each other.

life goes on
 
Yeah, I've lost touch with all my exes too but your buddies need to get a grip on reality....there is not one iota of a glimmer of a problem of remaining friends with an ex. What was their reasoning?

I see it this way: something brought you two together, even if it was just sex, and just because the sex/relationship ended the whatever it was that brought you together can still be there....

Like: if any of my exes called me up in the middle of the night in trouble, I'd be there in a heartbeat....I actually did this once for a chick that dumped me. She was at her new boyfriends place, they argued, he left like 4 hrs ago, and she didn't really have any idea where she was or how to get home (and didn't have any coin). So i had her look for the phone bill, give me the address, and I picked her up outside the apartment and took her home (to her place you pervs).....

She told her sister about it and even though when we were dating her sister hated me, her sis called me up and thanked me and said that was a pretty honorable thing to do.....and I had earned her respect.....
 
Friends...

....with the first ex...invited her to the 2nd wedding, she invited me to hers.

2nd ex and I still periodically fuck (and fight...and I suspect the two are related)

Re: Girlfriends (post university)...at least the ones of any consequence....one....probably, though I haven't spoken to her in a couple years...the other...no.

I don't see a problem. My ex wife married one of my good friends and I was the best man at the wedding.

WTF?? Grow some balls! Friends DON'T cut a friend's grass, no matter how hot she may be. That's just wrong.

Yeah, That's ManRule Number 1

However, I don't think that the poster in question was running the mower, more like he got mowed.

Which only makes it more disturbing that he was the best man!!!

Well, maybe he was glad to see her gone.

I can think of one ex that I have who was seeing some other guy while we were living together. It's a long sad complicated sordid story.

At the time I was quite bent out of shape and contimplated killing him in various ways, even went over his place to confront him, blah blah blah.

Anyway, now, I just think he did me the biggest favour in the world.

I sometimes wonder if he regrets that fateful day as she is a bundle of insecurity. Truth be told, I owe him one for taking her off my hands, it just took me a while to come to that conclusion....
