It seems everyone on reddit have bad breakups. No one ever manage to stay friends?

[–]nickyboy909 30 points31 points ago

Staying friends with your ex would make for a pretty boring post...

[–]TheLeprechaun04 10 points11 points ago

Not when my ex is a bitch, no.

[–]nicetry3932 2 points3 points ago

6 relationships and nope. either went separate ways forever or stayed in similar friend groups and resented each other.

[–]banebot 2 points3 points ago

That second one is the worst. My roommate is best friends with my ex. No fun at all.

[–]ducttape36 2 points3 points ago

im friends with all my exes. except one. fucking bitch.

[–]midri 2 points3 points ago

It's difficult to have a good relationship with some one else if your ex is your friend still. It can put a lot of stress on the relationship and can be even further compounded if your ex was the one that left you.

[–][deleted] 7 points8 points ago

Staying friends with an ex is the dumbest thing you could do.

[–]rachawakka 5 points6 points ago

Staying friends with your ex maybe, but you can't just take a statement like that and say it applies to everyone.

[–]mattymomostl 10 points11 points ago

Not when your ex is the mother of several of your kids. Some day young one, you will understand.

[–][deleted] ago

[–]mattymomostl 0 points1 point ago

friends is probably a bad use of the word, acquaintances with mutual respect is better... it's easier to keep an eye on the kids that way when you split custody

[–]Heatbeat 1 point2 points ago

Friends can become lovers but lovers cannot become friends.

It's just a bad decision.

[–]bukannan 0 points1 point ago

exactly. shows you how much relationship experience the average redditor has.

[–]IveGotTheBends 1 point2 points ago

Why would remaining friends impact anyone's "relationship experience"?

[–]bukannan 1 point2 points ago

because it takes effort to have a bad break up. It means you were either a terrible boyfriend/girlfriend who can't handle a relationship, or that you were dating a horrible person. it's not your fault if the other person is horrible but it's not a sign of great experience to continue dating someone who is horrible and eventually get into a relationship with them.

[–]IveGotTheBends 1 point2 points ago

I can't see why anyone would benefit from remaining friends with their ex, or why that would make them a better person. An ex is an ex, as in ex-person in your life.

[–]bukannan 1 point2 points ago

It was once someone very important in your life. It would be a waste to just leave them behind or even learn to hate them. I'm not saying it would make them a better person, I'm just saying that the idea of making your ex completely disposable is depressing and it shouldn't be the way you go about building relationships.

[–]PopeOwned 0 points1 point ago

I almost stayed friends; we broke up in an ugly way. She slept with a guy right after, she didn't want to admit it but I knew. We then talked on Skype and we tried to remain friends but literally two hours after, my apparent "friend" told her about how I talked behind her back but in an exaggerated way.

I mean what person doesn't talk behind their girlfriend/boyfriend's back when they annoy them but I said that in confidence & he took it completely either out of context or to an extreme degree. It could've been alright but sometimes friends fuck you over.

[–]hakkzpets 1 point2 points ago

I usually talk about stuff that annoys me with my partner or stay quiet about it, but whatever, talking behind people's back solves so many more problems.

[–]Ekorn -2 points-1 points ago

I'm friends with my ex. We actually had a treeway a couple of months ago, my current gf, my ex and I.

[–]Phinigin 1 point2 points ago

What's the weather like in Newfoundland today?

[–]sensors 4 points5 points ago

I get this feeling the majority of redditors don't know this subreddit exists.

[–]HIFW_GIFs_React_ 1 point2 points ago

Or that a "clever" title doesn't make a lame GIF funny.

[–]pulezan 2 points3 points ago

Yes, please. All of you with this stupid gifs go and post there.

[–]annelisemonte 1 point2 points ago

Thanks for pointing this out. I didn't even know this existed until just then.

[–]dduploads2 10 points11 points ago

If all your ex's are kind of stupid, then you most probably are stupid yourself.

[–]f03nix 3 points4 points ago

So, you're saying that if one is approached by an otherwise caring girl who isn't as intelligent as oneself, declining is the only acceptable thing to do ?

[–]dduploads2 0 points1 point ago

How do you come to the conclusion that I was saying that? I don't know if it makes sense to start and explain it but OK:

With stupid I did not mean "lack of intelligence" but "being an asshole"

I guess you know the saying that folks who "hate drama" often tend to cause drama themselves. It's similar. People use to hang around people who are like themselves.

Secondly, in terms of partner choice, the human brain has developed a good strategy: At first you want to have the perfect woman who is stunningly beautiful for you and has a character that you like. When you fail to attract such a person, you lower your expectations. This process takes place until your expectations are low enough to find someone. Now if one is a nut job guess how far down he'll have to go to find someone?

Now if one had some relationships where the girls turned out to be freaks, it's conincidence. But if every significant other you meet is crazy...

[–]Ahpeydey 2 points3 points ago

Generalizations, generalizations everywhere

[–]Bossner 2 points3 points ago

Glad to see you've gotten over them.

[–]CanadianMooose 2 points3 points ago

You still communicate with your ex? What a waste of time.

[–]Gagenwebb 3 points4 points ago

Got it at Walmart. It's real nice.

[–]i_love_younicorns 5 points6 points ago

I miss the days when it was okay to flip someone off on TV in the US :(

[–]Calsun 6 points7 points ago

Why are you talking to your ex?

[–]WeakMeander 1 point2 points ago

I always wonder about the "behind the scenes" to these posts. Did OP have his ex ask for something, then he went searching for an appropriate gif to post, or did Op see this gif and then try to think up some appropriate situation for what it might be expressing?

[–]chad_m1a1 1 point2 points ago

[–]BadSysadmin 0 points1 point ago

I too act like an arse to anyone I've previously had sex with but no longer do. Clearly reasonable behaviour.

[–]oshidoman 3 points4 points ago

My ex ended up in my calc class thefollowing quarter. She would always ask me for help and then accused me of being a bad person for not wanting to help her.. If memory served me right she broke up with me lol. Dam exs....

[–]Sonendo 1 point2 points ago

"Oh my god Sonendo, my WoW account got hacked. I know you probably hate me, but I really need your help getting it back".

Me: [IGNORE] And now I'll just finish deleting these characters here....

WHY ARE YOU TALKING TO YOUR EX IF YOU DON'T LIKE HER, YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG.

[–]spinlock 0 points1 point ago

Why does she still ask you for things? Doesn't that end with the whole divorce part of your marriage?
