[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In the “H is in love with ex” thread, someone mentioned how they still love their exes, loved them enough to realize they weren’t right for each other, the joy of watching exes fall in love with other people, that they were in each others’ weddings….

Do people really feel that way? I don’t have any ill will towards my exes, but I don’t really feel the need to talk to them, and while I hope they do find love, I don’t have any desire to watch it happen. When I found out an ex had gotten married and had a baby, my only thought was “good for him” and then I never gave it a second thought, never felt like reaching out to congratulate him.

The only ex I’ve ever been in touch with is a strange guy who reaches out to show me pics of his quarterly tropical vacations with beautiful women to show me what I’m definitely NOT missing. And even then it’s usually just a “looks fun” and I forget about him until 6 months later when he emails me more pictures.

Am I in the minority here? Is it pretty common to contact and care about exes?[/quote]

I have been friends with an ex since he dumped me in 1989. He has been married three times and has three kids. My late husband officiated at his last wedding. I broke up with someone in spring, and we have gotten together for a drink a couple times as friends. I still care about him as a person. I have lost too many people to early death to not have people I care about in my life in some capacity [/quote]
