I still have my ex's number in my phone - I don't think I ever deleted him, actually, because our breakup was more of a fizzle-out than a passionate-throwing-things-dammit kind of breakup . We're on really good terms now as friends and hang out whenever he's in town.
My boyf still has his ex in his phone, too, and he said he didn't delete her when they broke up. I do, "I keep almost all phone numbers if there's even a slight chance I might talk to that person again," he says, which makes sense to me.
Do you still have your ex's number in your phone? Does your SO?

Don't have an ex so I guess that wouldn't apply to me. Buuut... it would depend because if I was still friends with him, I would probably still have their phone number. But if it was a bad ending, I would probably delete it. My boyfriend does have some ex's on his phone but that's because he's good friends with them. If not... nope.
I do keep the numbers, but only because if they ever contact me again, I want to know who it is that's calling or texting me. My boy does too, but for some reason that bugs me... I don't even want him talking to his ex... I guess I have a double standard on that..
Nope. I leave most of my relationships badly. Fighting and all that so I'd rather not talk to them.
However I have started hanging out with one of my exes (from like 4 years ago) again. He seems okay but he still seems like a know-it-all.
why not? i'm still friends with all my exes, we all hang out together when we're at home
yes. in case they feel the need to stalk me, i can click the fuck you button on them :)
Yes... but we don't talk anymore. Haven't in almost seven months.
Neither of us do. I just recently deleted a bunch of people's numbers from my phone, & an ex or two was erased in that process. Woo :P
I have two of my ex's numbers because I'm still on good terms with them and they're now just friends and not someone that I have feelings for. One of them was an ex from four years ago and we're close and I can talk to him about anything. The second one is my most recent ex (we had broken up in November) and we rarely call each other up to go grab lunch, but the occasion still arises once in a while. It's nice to know that someone you used to know all about and they used to know all about you too, is still your friend. :)
nope & i think he has her number 'cause they're friends :P
Yes, we're good friends. Same with SO.
Sure. We're on good terms so why not?
i keep phone numbers sometimes just incase that person calls me again. Then i'll know whose calling and can judge whether or not i wanna answer.
and sometimes we just stay friends.
It depends on whether or not we're still friends. Most of my ex's and I are still good or decent friends so for the majority I have to say yes to having kept their phone numbers.
Yeah i keep them, cos we still contact each other now and then to hang out (as a group) with his gf and friends.
i keep my exes numbers cause we're on good terms
i dont think my husband kept his
I still have all of my ex's numbers. In fact I still have quite a few of them memorized.
Yeah, I keep them just in case. One time I deleted my ex's number and he called me on new year's eve, but I didn't recognize the number. I picked up anyway only to have one of the most awkward conversations of my life.
I delete and forget it. It keeps me from calling them out of neediness and desperation.
i still have all my exes cell numbers in my phone just because i'm still friends with them. even though the relationship didn't work out, it doesn't mean that i eliminate them completely out of my life. it just means that we're better off friends. now that i'm single, two of my exes and i still hang out together, go to lunch or dinner sometimes, plus we have mutual friends. and there's no bitterness towards each other.
Heeeeell no. I deleted my ex's the moment we broke up so I wouldn't call him crying in the middle of the night lol. Sad but a good strategy, I think.
Both the boyf and I have crazy ex's.
i think i still have it.
i still have some of my exes numbers..and so does my BF..we both are friends with our exes..so its not a big deal..
when I still had him, he was EpicFail :D
i dont have...but my bf does...
I like how though this is a you vs. your s.o. article, how everyone still finds a need to only speak on themselves.
