Possible to be just friends with an Ex?
So, yeah,like the topic says, I've never been able to do it. Im making an attempt currently because my ex is a really nice girl, good to talk to,and is extremely pretty, good kisser,etc. She's awesome.But, from the luxury of just being friends I have to put up hearing about her and her current. Like gushy shit I dont want to hear. And then ,I remember that is usually the main reason why I dont talk to ex's.
Like today, I was hanging with an ex and her female friend. Her friend asked her when was the first time she was ever kissed, a real kiss (kiddie high school shit,right?). She said about 2 months ago when she met her current (said in a not jokingly manner).She gushes about this fag way too much, for having known him for so short a period. I said something along those lines and how I think shes more in love with the prospect of leaving town and starting new ( as shes moving in with this guy to a different town shortly as she hates this place) then she is with the guy himself. "2 months? LOL " is how the rest of that conversation went.
I dont know, maybe im just projecting my bitter "singleness" on her. Like being mad that she's happy with someone and Im currently not.I always said the best revenge on an ex-girlfriend is for her to see me living a good life without her. we didnt break up badly. It just didnt work. That happens.
I came to the conclusion that its only possible to be just freinds with an ex if you personally have a current. And even then its a grey area because the current will be suspicious.
How about you guys? Have ex's for just friends? Am I the only one who gets assholery and tells off my ex's when they bait me?
