WIN

My exes: ALL cunts, not a single one exception.
Heh.
PMT ftw!

I guess I win? oh no wait I dont

I guess I win? oh no wait I dont

my ex right now is completely avoiding me, despite us apparently remaining "good friends" after we broke up.

also she went on holiday and got a tan, and does not look the same at all.

One was a psycho, the other a liar.

Best friends :)

i'm fine with this. wouldn't be exes without a reason, right?

one before that, CONFUSED, zonino saw to that.

the other i met for coffee just this morning, and we get on very well still

yayz

of beautiful geography = no contact, i love geography:)

That's a quote from my own mother.

except this one person called tom who i went out with for a year or so in year 4. i loved him so much then god his mum died and that was deep stuff for an 8 year old. anyway he bought me a frog keyring once and we kissed on the lips in the playground (everyone made a ring around us so the teachers couldn't see) and we remained friends for a while but then he moved to derby. i wonder what he looks like these days.

haven't seen her in two years and that suits me fine tbh.

doesnt speak to me any more, or so i thought, until i recieve an email from her reminding me to listen to a radio 4 doc on the ukulele orchestra of great britain.
so when i talk to her she tells me to do one, but if she wants small talk that is FINE.
mega bitch

'sorry for how i treated you i have no excuse'

my reply

'yeah you were aweful but thanks for the message'

im guessing thats the end of contact. dam myspace leaves open door thou and id feel petty if i deleted her.

Some rather less so.

One literally wishes I was dead. :D

is in america right now, i haven't seen him for over a year. he's really sweet though, if a little shy. we still would get along i think. i might try and arrange to see him when i'm in england. i miss him lots.

one; i haven't spoke to in about a year, saw the other day briefly, not brief enough.

two; i messed around, my bad, yet despite this (we were rather young) she's now my best girl friend.

three; went through about 6 months of barely any contact due to me ending up with one of her friends and her ending up with one of mine. since both relationships have ended and we speak more than we used to.

four; ended mutually and isn't all that bitter or owt' although we don't see each other that often, more because of schedules than by choice.

five; is in the pipeline

first - don't speak to AT ALL because she's a mental married missionary now.

second - happily chat to now and then, a nice girl just didnt work out for us. should have stuck with her though cos i wouldve been a kept man with a flat now haha.

third - chat to almost every day despite her living in spain, very very good friends.

i could have a drink with almost all of the minor ones and have a laugh but don't really keep in touch with many.

main 2 ex's - no chance. One of them was a particularly unpleasant lass who slept with some of my 'mates'. Horrid little cow but you live and gurn.

of them

the other few hate me or vice versa

and there is The One, who I got over just recently.

here's to more!

I get the odd text message out of the blue, but that's it.

can be awkward but usualy it dont bother me, it's just small talk and we sort of don't bother or notice each others company.

mainly because they don't exist.

I'd give it a bit of time, and even after that she may not make sense.

I think if you've been with someone a while, then you're still going to feel something for them, even if you're not suited to each other in a relationship sense. Luckily I haven't been in a long term one that's ended messily- but I can imagine this is quite gruesome.
After me and my last gf split it was a bit messy for a couple of weeks after- but she went travelling for a few months, meaning there was no contact in this time- and allowed us space to move on. Until she came back and we had a brief liaison. Then I met someone else. Etc.
I last saw her before I moved up here. There was still something there, I could see it in her, but I had to go. Haven't spoken in a couple of months.

A couple of the exes from when I was a teen are a bit argh, I know at least one has a child. I've definitely got higher standards these days.

there are two that I actively dislike and a handful that I'm neutral on, I neither like or dislike them, I'm just not at all sure why I was involved with them.

of that "I'm english so why are all these nig nogs here...whatever" facebook groups.

The ones from mancs don't exist to me anymore..but most of them are married.

last one, was on and off..sort of gf to big sis back to gf...now she's emigrated but won't let me visit her until I get married...

so I may never see her again :(

1) dont see much cos she lives far away. very amiable
2) see from time to time. we gossip about eachothers lives and loves
3) see pretty often. we bicker and make up and stuff.

and get the low down as pillow talk :P

Some things went wrong that upset me and made me not want to be in the relationship anymore. It sort of fizzled out with her saying "forget the whole boyfriend/girlfriend thing." I deserved it. We don't speak even though she wanted to remain friends. I'm a terrible person sometimes.

:'(

but of the people i've had 'stuff-dated type thing' etc with i am still on good terms, friendly and that.

I was best friends with the first before and after we went out. We were close for a couple of years after we broke up and then we just drifted apart. He sort of made a conscious decision to phase out me along with the rest of our group of friends.

I never saw my second ex again after we split up. We didn't fall out or anything, it was all quite amicable, but despite going out for about four months, but were never really very close.

in this little 'reply' box. The admins would get pissed off if took all the space I needed to tell you all about it. Christ. I'm back off to the music board, I'm not sure I can cope with even thinking about it. Apologies for getting all emo on y'ass :S

I think it's really sad if you spend so long getting to know someone so well and trusting them totally and then you don't have anything to do with them when you break up.

There all bitches anyway and I broke up with them because they had ceased to be of any use to me.

Yes, I'm currently single.

No I haven't had a date in quite some time.

While we're at it, we can find one for me as well.

it would seem the girls I have gotten involved with have all turned out to be mental in way or another. This has verged wildly from ACTUALLY mental (diagnosed bi-polar) to just a bit intense and confused.

I loves me a good crazy, though.

Yay for fucking up!

I get on pretty well with one of them

and i'm moving in with the other

i have lots of 'ex's' but reallly i dont think you can count a 3 months boyfriend as a proper ex.
if we go by that rule we get on fine when we see each other but probably couldnt care less about the other.

i still see another ex for regular nandos trips, as this is the only safe haven from rowing, tears, accusations and pointed fingers. he has a mother who is convinced that women can give birth to dogs and that her dead mum gave her father in law a heart attack. weird family.

was with her for 2 years on and off, she treated me like absolute dirt towards the end and completely broke my heart.

Now we send the odd email to each other, 'hi how are you, what you been up to?' kind of stuff. So amicable I suppose although I still hate her for what she put me through.

three i talk to all the time and one punched me in the face the last time i saw her, so i'm not so down with seeing her again.

we were together 6 years. I went throught the hating, confused thing but now its more amicable.

If i didn't get on with her i'd feel like i'd wasted 6 years and she knows me better than anyone and vice versa, so it is quite nice to talk

My ex ex i haven't spoken to for 10 years - parted on very bad terms!!!

I will never understand women as long as i live which is why i haven't had a date for 5 months!!!

one is still a very good friend even though I don't see him often.

the other doesn't really talk to me, which is a shame, all things considered.

I think if you like someone enough to spend a year(s) with them then they're probably worth hanging onto as friends even if you don't want to have sex anymore. Always seems a shame to just throw it away.

Apart from one who I slept with last Autumn. He told his girlfriend all we did was kiss and it was ME who kissed him when infact he got in bed with a very drunk me. At a party recently one of his girlfriend's friends made fun of my hat :(

but no animosity, couple of them on Facebook.
First university one I screwed over a bit, don't know where he is now, he wasn't that major though.
Second university one (and main ex) really fucked me over, I have no real desire to speak to him again ever.

BUT in good news, various people I've fallen out with over the years but not gone out with who I've had mad crushes on I'm still friends with now, some really good friends. So I'm not all disasterous!

and I still talk to him quite often. We were friends first and probably should have stayed friends and nothing more, but oh well. I hated him when we first broke up for pretty ridiculous reasons, but we quickly went back to being friends.

He was my first kiss, he taught me how to drive, was the first boy to call me beautiful and is generally a really lovely guy. He doesn't quite understand the opposite sex very well and used to be late/miss our dates because his WoW guild had to fight some trolls or something:s

he's my best friend.

One I'm still quite good friends with and will meet up with her if i'm in Edinburgh or if she's in London. Bizarrely she's the one with most reason to not speak to me as we had a pretty stupid on-off-on-off-on-breakup relationship. I think the fact that we were better suited to being friends than anything else is why we're still friends now.

Another I only started talking to again at the start of this year when we met up for a drink. This came after a year and a half of avoidance. I get some quite good e-mail and text banter from her every now and then which is good, but it stupidly reminds me of the good times far too much and makes me forget the way i was fucked over which I think is dangerous.

Another I still see occasionally and get the occasional e-mail or text but I tend not to go out of my way to see her. We still get on but I don't think I am/ever will be over that one so I'd rather keep my distance.

So in summary i'm still amicable with three, two of which i still quite like, one of which i'm good friends with, and I don't talk to the rest.

And to finish you just need to remember this at all times:
http://www.drownedinsound.com/articles/3605688#r3606183

with my ex was on New Year's Day, via text, initiated by her. Before that, nothing since it ended, nearly exactly a year ago.

Since then I've only had something so brief I wouldn't even call her an ex. It was more of a friendship spilling over temporarily into love. Luckily we're still very close friends.

1. Went out Oct 05 - Feb 06: I like her, but our relationship was very strange and she's pretty odd. She's like a robot.

2. April - March 06: Lovely girl. I never wanted to go out with her but we got over that and have brilliant fun whenever we meet, despite the fact I got rid of her for number 3.

3. Summer 06: The best one. Still, on very good terms with her and 2, we all get along like good friends and they're some of the only girls that can make me laugh.

4. Jan 07 - July 07: Pretty but naff personality. Don't want anything to do with her, but she constantly sniffs around my best couple of friends. Won't matter by September though, thankfully!

i have no exes and it suits me fine

1. Went out with for the duration of sixth form and a little before and after. Was very much a case of us both being amazed that somebody else was taking an interest in us and so we thought we might as well go out. She was nice enough, but we're vastly different now. Cheated on me. Fair enough though. Haven't seen her in about four years, and can't imagine we'd have anything to say to each other.

2. Went out with for 11 months. The nicest person I have ever known. We don't speak any more really, which is a massive shame because we got on so well but it just didn't work out. I miss speaking to her a lot. I hope we'll be friends again one day.

See him occasionally when I'm home, go for a drink or something. Have to keep my distance though, I have some strange effect on him and he decides/realises he still loves me, but it's nice we get on.

My other ex, we're civil, but his new girlfriend and I have always hated each other, so it's usually best if we avoid each other, or she doesn't come to meet ups - we were in the same friendship group at college so it's inevitable we bump into each other.

I've moved away from home since my relationships with them so any nastiness or bad feeling has for the most part died away, thankfully. The former isn't happy with his current girlfriend but is going travelling alone later this year, the latter is moving in with his, so to some extent their happiness is assured.

I don't have an amicable relationship with. If they are a good person (which presumably (hopefully) they are) then although it takes extra effort and coping with weirdness, I think it is worth it to try and make things friendly.

wearing lycra cycle shorts, a denim vest and a feather in his Fresh Prince style white boy 'fro. He did not look like that when we were together...

who I speak to a bit more and more and we are very friendly with each other. I always liked him as a person - we were just disasterous together.

The rest can go to hell and stay there.. actually, I think they HAVE been there...

1. Used to be good friends, but drifted apart when I gradually realised just how odd our relationship was and how odd he is. Still e-mail/text every so often. He seems to be losing touch with reality.

2. Only went out briefly, haven't seen him since.

3. Didn't want to go out with him in the first place, it was a huge mistake. I see him occasionally as we have a mutual friend and I don't dislike him as such, except when I do actually see him, and then I remember why I didn't want to go out with him and why I dumped him.

4. Very hard to get over. Still friends (ostensibly), but I hate him for how he treated me.

which is sad - but then, there was all that cheating on my part. I suck.

Chloe was nice, gorgeous and out of my league. She could eat like a horse and was pretty high maintenance, mind. We had absolutely nothing in common and she was thick as two short planks but when i was with her i felt twelve feet tall and in hindsight that was very shallow of me. Everything about the first few months of relations was amazing, really romantic, but we were just too different and if i'm honest she was far too fit to be hanging from my arm. A few months back i was very very drunk and sat alone in a warm pub. It dawned on me that it was her birthday so i foppishly bought a card. I only had £1.20 so it had to be one of those generic ones that petrol stations sell. I scrawled out my true feelings using a bookies pen that was running out, i never got to tell her when we finished. I instantly regretted this the next morning. I was recenly up at a silly hour and looked at her facebook, she was still stunning, but far too orange, an obvious fag-hag and working as a hairdresser in Liverpool. I miss her and love her, still, it's silly but i think about it a lot. I hurt her and she hurt me, but if i had five minutes to live i'd spend it with her, just so that i could tell her i was sorry, then maybe we'd smile at eachother and cry. She's absolutely moved on and i haven't, but none of my friends know that and whenever we've bumped into eachother she's been quite drunk and made a big scene, so if anything i think people think it's the other way round. I've met girls since, and ones i like, but there's not that kind of intense 'shit, i'm losing my head' thing with them.

Lisa was a muppet, but an absolute master in the bedroom. It was nice to be having relations with a girl who really wasn't very deep. For a year or so i literally did nothing apart from wake up, get stoned with her, make out and go back to sleep. Eventually she got a serious boyfriend but we carried on as usual. Then he proposed so we stopped. They'd have break-ups and we'd end up at hers, or mine, or in a hotel, then they'd get back together and we wouldn't speak for months. It dawned on me that in the four years we hung out she'd never paid for anything, even tedious stuff like buying me a pint or a sandwich. I liked her company but it was annoying me 'being with' (in a fashion) someone and constantly paying, so i had a big diva-like strop in a bar and told her to phone me when she could afford to take me out. That was March-ish. I think the problem was we had too much in common, it was like being with a mate, while it was on the hop it was fun, but then it was too much of a headfuck.

Leigh was fun but not very easy on the eye. I don't know what it is i like about her, she was ugly, overweight, had terrible manners and was pretty dense. Times were fun. I never told anyone we were an item, they just knew her as my mate. I thought it had a future but she suddenly dumped me one day, on a bus. I didn't even see it coming, we were sat there talking about leaves or something and she just said 'Right, i've met this guy, i'm going to start seeing him, i'll phone you', that was about five years ago. She's still with him. She sent me a letter just before Christmas telling me that she still thought of me a lot, that she liked this guy and they were comfortable but that she was pretty bored. I wrote a reply but it's still on my desk. I should probably man up but i'm pretty pissed off at her for getting off that bus and not phoning me for years. I always kept the same number just in case.

(all two, ha)

i saw the first in town the other day with his girlfriend and he kind of ignored me though :'(

I don't think he's realised that I have, which sucks just a little bit :(

though sometimes I wonder why I went out with them, in an objectively puzzled way. They probably feel the same, but on the whole, they are nice people. Wouldn't go out of my way to be friendly, or cold, or anything.

One ex I cut off completely because we had nothing in common, partly because of guilt (for various reasons)...he was 17 years older as well. The most boring, annoying, patronising, person ever.

Another one seems to hate me because I never took him seriously, and I think he liked me more than I did him. Maybe he just hates me. Strangely enough, that's been my favourite relationship.

of the 5 or 6 girlfriends i've had i'm generally on good terms with all except one who i've not since since we split.

I've never had a nasty split with a girlfriend, such as someone doing something horrible like cheat on someone or have lots of arguments. It's either been through boredom or "we're better as friends" if we've split up.

I've seen 2 ex girlfriends at the weekend. Both i would class as very good friends now.

but before that, i went out with a really nice girl and i wasn't very nice to her. i shouldn't have gone out with her in the first place though

one I still get on pretty well with. We talk about bands and go to gigs every now and again, and occasionally bitch about people we know.

One was a wreck after we broke up, then we ended up becoming really good mates for a while, then she got a new boyfriend who is (according to her best friend) an "artier and more pretentious version" of me. Since then, she's turned into a complete cunt, and has taken to making stupid, belittling comments about me and the time we spent together. Charming.

One is now going out with a member of The Others.

That's enough, I think.

I'm sorry it got so emo.
