Isn't a relationship with an ex still a relationship?
:shrug:

Having recently been kicked to the curb, I don't get that. One of my trivia opponents (once the game is over, we're all friends. :)) still keeps up/carries on with her ex. She said that she has no time to date and train someone new. So, keeping the devil that you know as opposed to the devil you don't, eh? I said.

To me, that's like keeping a car that doesn't run well, but you know how to keep it going, and can't get you far, as opposed to taking time to research and get a nice new functioning car that can get you where you want to go, and even a road trip.

But, that's just me. :P

1. In that case her ex is not really her ex.
To put it simply.

3. I agree
to borrow from Dr. Phil (don't hate me too much! :hide:) it takes 2 to maintain a relationship, and 1 to end it. We got 2 agreeing people here.

2. An ex that breaks up with you but still says to you that he loves you ...
is a jackass - perfectly describes my recent ex.

Breaks up with me because he wanted to chase the crowd - hang out with his friends who always tried to talk to me behind his back and I did'nt like that. They knew that him and I were together but they did'nt care. But he felt that he was missing something so we broke up. We broke up and they told him they could'nt believe that he gave a good girl like me up - so he looks stupid on all sides. If they're you're ex, they're your ex for a reason - remember that. Either you break up or your still together. If you still have feelings for someone don't play games with time.

4. Quite right
that's why I don't keep up with my ex's. That's history, better left in the archives.

5. Never date someone that works at your job ...
because you still have to see them and people watch you like hawks putting stuff together saying the two of you are gonna get married - even if that is the future , mind your own business ya know.
