They're in my life.

run into him occasionly and wish I could run over him

I chose not to have an ex, its just easier that way. 😉

Oh yes I love having exes around as friends. Wait I don't have any exes 👀

It's easier being friends, don't ya think?

You're history....!
Should I bump into you I'll still be nice though...

I prefer to just not have to be around them.

If you have had kids with them, you are kind of stuck with maintaining a relationship with them, so choose your exes wisely.

No.. she has moved on.

Like .... 5 more times....

I’m friends with a couple of them, it’s nice. There are some who I don’t get on with though.

I think most people have to remove them from their lives for a while and then after a few years it may be safe to have them as an acquaintance once again.

I'm happy with my exes being out of my life. Both of them ended it in very cowardly fashion.

Have not seen her since 1978, I wish her all the best

I do not even think of her at all

Completely remove them out of my life. In the words of Dave Mustaine from Megadeth. "You have teeth pulled for a reason. You wouldn't ask a dentist to put a rotten tooth back into your mouth after it had been removed."

Ex bfs. Zero contact plus 2 died but not by my hand! 🥹

I don't have any exes. All of my wife's exes are from her college days, and she is still friends with some of them. They all are 800 miles or more away from us, so it's not a problem.

I get the occasional message either in person or via third party known to us both.
But no direct regular contact

None are in my life, but then I’ve been married for 29 years. They were only girlfriends.

Depends on the situation and how messy the breakup was.

I don’t have an ex

But if I did that would be the whole point

EX

Finito - done ✅

Wish em well and keep on keeping on 🙏🏼💕🕊

I would probably remain civil with mine, due to having children, but not “friends”

If he's still single, keep as friends. But if he finds someone, it would be harder to be friends so remove

Removing them

If you were married and had kids you do need to be civil and make decisions together regarding the kids welfare. If divorced and no kids is probably best to move on with out them.

I was friends with first ex after a year or so but he was horrible to me. Second I was talking to here and there, to say happy birthday or ask each other how we are. Last time was about two years ago.

My boyfriend now I would never speak to again.

That is up to them. If you must work on it, they were never your friends though.

When kids are involved, the ex is your life, for life.

Unless their a murderer or something really, really bad

I don't have an ex.
Just old boyfriends from many years ago. There are no hard feelings between me and any of them, but they aren't in my life per se.

Get rid of them.

If I'd of had kids with him, I'd try to remain friendly for the kids sake. But fortunately I didn't and have no contact at all. He's tried to friend family on facebook, as he wants to stay in touch, but after years of unhappiness i dont want anything to do with him.

Jokes

Im fb friends with my ex but we are pretty much removed from each others lives also i rarely go to fb and he rarely uses the internet

I can't delete the ex (either of them) because I created children with them. My first ex and I rarely if ever communicate now as the kids from that relationship are adults.

My 8 y/o daughter from the second one requires regular contact with her mum over parenting and conflicts/challenges around that.

Oddly, I still find my second ex very physically attractive, but emotionally abjectly chronically narcissistic and unattractive. I suppose as she's the last woman I've been intimate with (though now 10 years ago), there's some small amount of positivity deeply covered by all the emotional negativity. I haven't had any positive dating or relationship experiences since, so there's nothing to use as a present-day point of reference.

Depends on how the breakup went.

It really depends on the ex and why things didn't work out. All of my exes are long distance. We remained amicable but the fade away happened more naturally.

Maybe if we were friends before but mine is completely out of my life

Either/or. It doesn't matter to me.

Depends on how/why she is my ex. I am friends with a couple of them but my first wife I do not and would not have anything to do with her in fact I have stopped talking to people who still talk to her

Complete removal. They're not bad people they're just not people I want to be friends with.

Once someone is out of my life, the door is closed. No anger, no grudges, just no anything.

While I hated it initially after the breakup/fallout, it’s best that there’s never any communication
