well which is it "just for the sake of it" or "just sort of spilled out"? intentional baiting = colossal dud.

haha well ok then, it sort of spilled out because i sort of wanted to do it just for the sake of it. sort of.
yes i know, shame on me :-(

no shame donna. conversations with exes can be like negotiating a minefield.

i've done it but i wouldn't encourage it. i prefer to turn ex- issues into a story we can all laugh aboutq

Dud - but yeah, I've done it.

Dus, kinda, but if it's just petty and nothing *too* nasty is said, maybe it's an acceptable way of channeling latent anger?

classic once you're into that third whiskey sour

Completely classic if the fight descends to the level of "You know I'm right!" "No you're not!" "Yes I am!" "No!" "Yes!" "No!" etc. within a minute

it must be so damn complicated negotiating a freindship with an ex when you have children together.

It is.

totally dud. the sort of thing i've done with exes i was still into. really pathetic behaviour on my part, quite hard to fathom in hindsight why i was getting such a state over nothing. i sincerely hope i won't repeat those mistakes.

i would probably pick fights with The Ex if i was trying to be friends with him. which i'm not, and that much happier for it. i have uncomplicated friendships with some of the more short-term exes.
