You and Your Ex: How long does it take to start talking to each other again?

I'm just curious..

He broke up with me in winter 06 and we had just sent some formal "happy b-day" e-mails but don't really communicate.. and I do not know. Are we even supposed to talk to each other again or is this whole ex-relationship/now-maybe-friendship impossible?

When someone breaks up with you, do you ever start communicate?

 

No, exs for a reason

 

ex is an ex for a reason.

he is probably "lonely" and just wants to have sex.

NEXT !!!

keep on looking for something better

keep in mind HE broke up with you .. so why even bother

 

but I'm happily in a relationship I just found strange not to talk to each other again... these days, I ain't even pissed off that he broke up with me.

 

i usually don't talk to my exs.. i find that they mostly just annoy me lol

 

im in that stage.. even tho we broke off on good terms we still shit eachother off. but it looks the is road ending soon

 

it took little over 2 years for my ex-husband to contact me...and now he only e-mails me when he needs money

 

That's how I feel about someone as well. I'm not sure if he really counted as a boyfriend, however we were very close for a long time and I cared about him a lot. I was completely devastated when he ended it, things got complicated, rah rah rah... and since then he's made it quite clear he doesn't want anything to do with me. It bothered me at first because he was such a close friend to me for so long and then suddenly nothing.. so it felt weird not to talk with him at all. I'd still like to hear from him maybe, just to see how he's doing and everything. But not because I'd want him back or anything, I'm engaged now and very happy and very much in love with my fiance. But just.. when someone's been so close to you and it suddenly just ends.. well you can't stop caring about the other person just like that, and it feels weird and like it's not supposed to be that way. O well..

 

I couldn't describe my feelings better. That's it, that's why I even asked ...
I guess I'll wait until xmas and then send him some greetings

 

I talk to my ex because he is the father of my child. Otherwise I would not talk with him.

In the past I found keeping friendships with ex's very hard because of continued feelings there on either end. It can get messy and if you are with someone else...you might not want to complicate things.

That being said....my fiance is friends with all of his ex's and I have no problem with that. I am actually friends with a couple of them myself.

 

i still talk to most of my ex's but there is only one that is a little rough to talk to. mostly because she was my first love, but we make it wrk somehow lol. i just couldn't let be done like that forever. it takes time but if you really want to remain friends you can. im actually goin to b visitn her at her college soon cant wait.

 

Avoid your ex's....it's just trouble

 

my ex gf broke up with me, then kept sleeping with me. everyones different.
