How many of you still talk to your exes?

Married. 36. 7 years ago. No no no. Why talk.

Several ex boyfriends contacted me after DH died. One became my FWB for several years, but he fell in love with me and things got messy. I had to end it.

My husband and I are both friendly with a couple of our significant exes. I don’t think either of us talk to them particularly often, and we usually casually tell each other about it when we do. We’ve even had drinks with one ex and their spouse when we realized we were in the same place at the same time. These were relationships from our early twenties.

45 y/o, married for 20 years.
Ex2 doesn't want to talk to me - we dated for a couple of years when I was in college, he was 19 years older. I left him when I met my DH and he never forgave me. He got married at 60 after dating his now wife for a decade and cheating on her and had his first (and last, I assume) baby two years ago. He didn't respond to my congratulations. I'm still close to his mom and she told me he wanted me because I was a former model with an Ivy degree and he was unsure about his wife because she went to Univ of Colorado. He used to count my carbs and I remember him getting on my case for having a slice of apple pie at Thanksgiving; I'm 5'7 and was probably 120 lbs at that time.
Ex1 - we are connected on Facebook, he's a divorced Trumper who drinks too much. Before I got married, he begged me to get back to him and wanted to drive from Midwest to DC to stop me from marrying my H. We used to chat about children and I used to ask about his ASD child from time to time. Last time we talked, we argued on Facebook about Trump (I know, I'm an idiot) so we're no longer in contact. I feel bad for him, because he's a Catholic guy who wanted lots of kids.
So no.

My H seriously dated two girls before me - one is a HUGE QAnon with 4 kids and the another one is related to a certain politician who is in hot waters now (weird hair, weird smile, W&M law school) and an NRA worshiper with a gun paraphernalia.

Happily married 10 years. Talk to serious BF before DH once or twice a year on email or text. Grab lunch maybe once every year or two. Would be more but because I lived with him right before I met DH it’s not. We have great platonic chemistry and I miss his friendship. All my sexual feelings for him died before we broke up.
The BF 2 before DH texts me a few times a year and we grab lunch once every two years or so. He’s a distraction and kind of a mess so I’m careful not to fall into a friendship with him.
BF from college tried to throw a Hail Mary at me before he got married. I never emailed back.
HS BF I last saw 15 years ago when he was in town.
I love my exes. It’s fun to catch up and see how we’ve changed and reflect on that time in your life. Also always a nice reminder I have the best husband in the world.

Married > 10 years, met husband in college. I don't talk to any exes. I'm not sure what the pointed would be. I no longer live in the same town, I don't really have any close mutual friends any more, and there just isn't a reason.

Married 15 years, I occasionally chat with a few exes on facebook, especially one I dated in high school because he's more like family. My husband actually keeps in touch with a serious ex of mine that I don't care to keep in touch with, and I keep in touch with one of his exes. We have all known each other since college.

Married 18 years. I didn't date much before I met DH. Only one guy would I call a boyfriend. A second guy I technically never dated, but there was mutual interest (we have some conversations about it), but nothing ever happened because of timing and distance. With a third guy the relationship wasn't well defined and we weren't clearly a couple, but we kind of were.

I'm in touch to varying degrees with all three. With the first two, they came to my wedding, and DH and I went to theirs. Interactions these days are mainly commenting on each others FB posts, but if we're in town, we make a point to see each other with our spouses. I knew even when I was dating the first guy that we wouldn't be a long term match due to different life priorities but I also knew he was a great guy. The other two are also great people, but I'm so glad I ended up with DH rather than them.

Nope, never have

When I divorced, I began talking to a few (unmarried, single) ex’s. Stayed friends with one whom I speak with fairly regularly. No romantical and no relationship stuff. Just life. Fun to be friends again.

The others were hi and bye.

Exes post divorce are mostly dead to me. There is one dude where we never picked up charge and we are cool and may hang out time to time.

Cause his ex won’t talk to him.

Divorced. Yes, a few.

My closest friend is still an ex. He moved to west coast and we broke up. We talk weekly and he visits us at our home or meet with the whole family at a restaurant whenever he is in town. DH is also good friends with him. He is married as well.

One of my closet friends is an ex GF of my husband. I don’t even think about it as she is happily married and so are we.
