NO WAY

Not really, no. I talk about "people I know", my tricky euphemism for referring to an ex, but that's about it. It's a lose-lose, because you refer to them in a good way and it makes you seem like you're hung up on them. Refer to them in a bad way and you're kind of a dick.

not a good idea
-
I do not have an ex, but if my wife has something to say about hers I expect to hear it. she has a past and I accept that.
-
Yes. My husband knows everything about my ex and I know everthing about his. Its interesting to here of past stories, I think it gives us more insight to each other.
-
... in a sense, but not all that much. We both talk about each others past relationships and why they didnt work out or why they did (but were ended on someone elses part) but me and him also are betting (like a 204 bet) on whether I will break up with him first or he with me (idk y the first is there, but it is...lol)
-
Less and less as time passes.
-
Nope. Why would I tarnish my relationship with someone else with thoughts of past relationships? That isn't fair to the new guy!
-
I had 2 children with my first husband so when I remarried I answered anything he wanted to know. We don't talk about him anymore unless I know he is coming here to visit my (his) granddaughter.
-
Rarely, I make an effort to say "I" instead of "we" when I talk about anything in the past. It's tough though because I did a lot of stuff as a "we" over 22 years.
-
Yeah, I do. My boyfriend and my ex have known each other for a few years, there was nothing between them though. My ex works for the same place as I do, my boyfriend used to be (years ago) one of the clients.
-
We've both talked about our respective exes, but they're not something that come up in every day conversation.
-
I know I shouldn't but they always ask.
-
yeah sometimes
-
I have more than one. Yes, I talk about them occasionally. I don't talk about them often, though, because I am over them. My boyfriend is the one I am committed to now. He's also the very person I've fallen the hardest for.
-
Yes, he and I talk about our ex-spouses quite a bit actually. We both came out of rather unplesant marriages and it's a bonding thing for us to be able to talk out our frustrations and pain with each other. Sometimes I get tired of it, sure. But it's worth it to have him work through his pain and get over it, rather than keep it bottled up and continue to think about it. Plus, I also get to see a deeper side of his feelings and understand what hurts him and what would make him happy. It's all very deep, but very bonding. EDIT: Oh crap, I jsut realized this was in the "Teenagers" section. Don't guess my story really applies, huh? Sorry about that!

Only when he asks about my ex. Or sometimes i'll point out that hes doing something my ex used to do and i didnt like.
