You're Not The Only One Who Misses Your Ex
Mamasez left a comment with a mom's perspective on her daughter's breakup:well, I'm a mom that talks to/texts my daughters EX boyfriend. He dated my daughter for 14 months and was at our house nearly every day. he is an awesome young man and i very much regard him as my son. When he was dating my daughter she would often fall asleep and he and I would sit and talk for hours.
So you know the particulars - He broke up with her. Both of them were at fault in the downfall of the relationship - more him than her - a lot more HIM. But it was best for both of them that the relationship ended. They were still in high school. Currently they are both dating other people,
I do not want the two of them back together but I do miss having him around. They are friends now but they do not talk as much as he and I do. (BTW his whole family loves my daughter and talks to her whenever they see her.)
Maybe it's just a maturity thing and being able to separate the person from the situation.
My family was pretty hands-off when it came to my relationships (mostly because I tried to keep it that way) but my dad is close with my sister's BF and his family now - they email and text. Pretty adorable. I know he'd be devastated if they broke up, but I'm pretty sure our fams would stay friendly and keep in contact.
Did your family members ever say they missed one of your exes? Do they keep in contact like Mamasez and her daughter's ex?

My mom absolutely loves my ex and my ex's mom absolutely loves me. She keeps asking me when I'm going to go stay with them in NC for a couple weeks. My mom never fails to tell me how much she loves this kid.
It's really a shame that I moved,
or we'd still be together.
my brother who is 33 had an ex girlfriend and she had a big impact on my life I was young when they dated I was 13 so this was 7 years ago. After the split I was heart broke over it she was a really nice girl trying to raise her kids and have a family my brother was at fault for being unfaithful. After they broke up I took the time to find her it took me till I was 20 to find her but I did find her and we talk regularly and im glad to have her as part of my life.
erm... my last ex made quite the impression on my parents and my younger brother (they're FB friends and would msg each other every now and then until I expressed my discomfort in that matter). But we broke up due to foundational differences (in the future) and my mom only talks about him in a way to say what I should look for (as in signs) so I don't make the same mistake. But his mom and I used to email and she sends me FWDs every now and then, I don't know if she misses me or if she's out to get me. Hahaha
Personally, I wanted my bro to be in good terms with my ex when we were dating, but they got along REALLY well and that bothered the CRAP out of me. It made me uncomfortable; I knew they weren't talking about me or anything, but it still did. And now that we're broken up and I rarely talk to him, I'd prefer if all my FRIENDS and my brother decided to get my ex off their friends list (they only met through me and aren't really friends beyond FB) but that's just me being anal. lol I think if my mom bonded with my ex that way, it would kind of bother me depending on how the relationship was; was it intimate, was it long, etc and how brutal the breakup was. If the breakup was bad because he broke up with me but my mom was still talking to him or whatever, that'd piss me off. That's just me being honest.
None of my family has really met any of my SO's. But my ex broke up with me im around his house a lot less and i miss his mom, and his dog and his house and his bed and him. It is really hard.
Well they certainly didn't miss the most recent ex before my fiance came along. Not that they don't like him as a person. They just felt he and I aren't well suited, and thinking back on it I have to completely agree.
@KassieintheSkywithDiamonds@xanga - Haha...his mom started taking a class at the school I was at. And I saw her...she gave me THE most EVIL look ever. I thought it was pretty funny.
When my boyfriend and I broke up his parents yelled at him for not cherishing something so great. They told me (even after the breakup) that I was always welcome at their house and I could stay over whenever I wanted. His sister invited me to her birthday party, and continued to invite me to do stuff with them. When he started to go on dates, his sister told him that she had no intention to meet any other girls that he was seeing. On the other hand my family didn't like him and almost threw a party when they knew about the breakup (and the only reason why they didn't was because I was bawling my eyes out). So when we got back together, his parents and sister were more than thrilled, but I'm still keeping our relationship a secret to my family (except for my brother who lives with me and my grandmother who I talk to every single day)...
My mom always talks about how she misses my first serious girlfriend. We broke up because the long distance thing wasn't working out for us, but we still talk every now and then. It's pretty awkward when she mentions her, since I've had a couple of other serious relationships since.
BWAHA! Well, one of my exes is my best friend. My parents still shout "HI!" to him when I walk by and I'm on the phone with him, and our house is always open to him when he wants to stay here. Our families were never close since it was an LDR and his mom is a total techno-phobe, so that's not really an issue.
As for my other ex, I don't think my family holds him in too high esteem. He...was an asshole.
My parents have strongly disliked everyone I've been with.
I think I would be really creeped out if my mom and boyfriend talked. Idk, I'm not that comfortable with my parents. But I do have a friend who is really close to her ex's mom. I'm really close to her ex's mom too. Lol.
My ex-boyfriend's mom misses me (or so I've heard from mutual friends of my ex), and I miss her too. We went out for about a year and I would stay over at his house on weekends and hang out with his mom because he would always sleep until mid-afternoon and I'd be up around 9. We were freakishly similar :)
Actually yes. I've had my mom and both of my sisters say they miss an ex I had for 2 1/2 years. Makes it harder for me to get over him. When we were dating, no one really liked him and picked on him, now that he dumped me. Oh they miss him and he was the best to me! Psshhhhhhhh.
my ex's mom asks me all the time why i don't call or come over to her house anymore like i used to. plus, the people at his work place always call me up and ask when i'm coming back to see them but of course it's not going to happen anymore since we're not together anymore.
