"My friend..."

Poo-tee-weet? · Sep 28th 2010, 12:52am

I was thinking about this today at work. How long does it take for you all to consider your ex's friends? As in, how long until instead of referring to them as "my ex" you refer to them as "my friend" assuming you stayed friends with them?

I was talking about how my ex from at least 5 years ago has a hole puncher for Sheetz cards, and I referred to her as "my friend".

once an ex, always an ex for me.

I think it depends on the context of which I'm speaking. I don't generally say anything about them being an ex unless it's important. Most of my exes are my friends, anyway. It's hard to think of a couple of them as "exes" at all.

To me, if I called my ex my friend instead of my ex, it's kind of like trying to ignore the whole fact that we ever dated, which is quite impossible for me to do. Maybe if you've dated like 20 people, they'd all just sort of converge as "friends," but I've only got 2 exes, so they'll always be separated from everyone else.

I never really remained friends with any of my ex-boyfriends, so I really don't have a frame of reference here. But I never thought of any of them as my 'ex' for long. Eventually they just faded into the background and became "that one guy".
