Ever had them? i'm still doing it wit my ex. was a mutual decision though he still wants me back. i mean he's really good in bed just not boyfriend material. Now im kind of unsure whether im doing the right thing. What do you guys think?

Supa Love, Tuesday, 4 May 2004 21:22 (twenty-one years ago)

wrong thing.

Why not try and discussing this with some friends instead of strangers on the internet?

Dear Abby (Nicole), Tuesday, 4 May 2004 21:26 (twenty-one years ago)

especially this particular set of strangers.

ipsofacto (ipsofacto), Tuesday, 4 May 2004 21:27 (twenty-one years ago)

Strangers on the internet actually do make more sense in this case; friends would get caught up in specifics about the relationship, the guy, the breakup, etc., all of which is ultimately irrelevant:

If you have to ask, you already know. You just want either validation or talking-out-of. Pick one, like it, and you're set.

Is he safe? Clean? If it's just a mutual fuck-buddy thing, why not? As long as you don't get hooked.

Michael White (Hereward), Tuesday, 4 May 2004 21:29 (twenty-one years ago)

The influx of stupid girls asking for relationship advice is a bit trying, though.

El Diablo Robotico (Nicole), Tuesday, 4 May 2004 21:30 (twenty-one years ago)

The relationship googler/whatevers seem more on the ball than the ask-and-run googlers we were getting for awhile, though -- lurkers, maybe?

Tep (ktepi), Tuesday, 4 May 2004 21:32 (twenty-one years ago)

Shouldn't we get paid though?

Michael White (Hereward), Tuesday, 4 May 2004 21:33 (twenty-one years ago)

Hey, I was an ask-and-run googler here once! Then my life sort of stalled and I found a home here.

the music mole (colin s barrow), Tuesday, 4 May 2004 21:36 (twenty-one years ago)

There is that, we should start posting paypal links.

xpost; then you didn't run, Colin! I meant the folks who don't even seem to stick around for the answer.

Tep (ktepi), Tuesday, 4 May 2004 21:37 (twenty-one years ago)

Well, Tep, they may read without responding. And secretly feel a warm inner glow, toi personal, intimate and fragile to even share with us?

the music mole (colin s barrow), Tuesday, 4 May 2004 21:39 (twenty-one years ago)

That's touching but I'd rather have the cash.

Michael White (Hereward), Tuesday, 4 May 2004 21:40 (twenty-one years ago)

Random glow-secreting is better than random abuse, so I'm cool with that.

Tep (ktepi), Tuesday, 4 May 2004 21:47 (twenty-one years ago)

Fair enough. Inner glow it is then.

Michael White (Hereward), Tuesday, 4 May 2004 21:48 (twenty-one years ago)

(We can take photos and sell glowporn on the side.)

Tep (ktepi), Tuesday, 4 May 2004 21:50 (twenty-one years ago)

Find someone new, you will be much happier.

gygax! (gygax!), Tuesday, 4 May 2004 21:51 (twenty-one years ago)

This:

Ex-Sex, yay or nay

and then this:

Yr ex admitting publicly that he likes you "just as much as before." Now what?

FWIW we are now back together and so far so good.

Ask For Samantha (thatgirl), Tuesday, 4 May 2004 21:54 (twenty-one years ago)

Dear Supa Love,

First, a couple of questions, then some answers.

1) Is your name a bastardization of "Super" Love or "Supper" Love? This is very important to get an idea of whether you are of normal proportion, or just overly fond of supper. When you're tipping the scales at 425 lbs, or even stones--what do I know--it's a very different answer. Yes, Supa, it's possible to love supper TOO much.

2) Are you sure you wouldn't rather have some tips on dying your already black-died hair medium brown? Or an ashe blonde to strawberry blonde? Because we're very, very good with this sort of advice. It's what we do for a living.

Now that that's settled, if you still want relationship advice, read Sam's threads. She's on the record as having experience with this issue. Other people's advice may be a tad hypothetical. Not that this is a bad thing. Not for us. But perhaps for you.

But more importantly, are you sure some of your self esteem issues aren't tied to your hair color? Because I think they are. It's that mousy quality that is at the root of your anger. We've seen it before.

Oh well.

See you later.

Skottie, Tuesday, 4 May 2004 22:46 (twenty-one years ago)

re-read my own threads:

So anyway, it was pretty good. There was almost no kissing. When I was finished, I dressed and left. That's it. If we hook up again, cool. But I really don't expect to be thinking of him beyond that.

If I even start to feel inklings of that. . .well I'll shoot myself in the foot to keep me restrained to the house and then beat myself daily. I don't think even *I'm* that stupid.

AHAHAHAHAH!!

Hmmm. We've had a couple of blowouts but have dealt well with the aftermath. We've discussed honestly the problems we had before and how we can avoid them this time. Like I said, so far so good.

He's had a couple of bad relationships since me (and, honestly, it seems like I've been his best one. I'm the only ex he still has contact with and the only one he's ever gotten back with) and I'm willing to believe that we've both learned things and can avoid making the same mistakes.

I was tired of dating around when I met him and really didn't find any love in the two yrs we've been apart (infatuation and obsession yes, but that's it). He's also said that he's realized what's important in his life and what he needs to make his priorities (he just turned 37 so perhaps it's the age creeping up on him). He claims I am one of those things he realizes he needs in his life.

If it crashes and burns. . .well no one will kick my ass harder than myself.

Y'all think I'm a bitter bitch now. . .

No, Sam, you sound rather optimistic. Good luck.

Supa, if he still wants you back, but you don't want him back, having sex with him sure ain't gonna make things better. What you got to ask yourself is, do you want to have good sex at the risk of having the guy clinging to you? I'm not the one to give an answer to that, it's up to you.

Tuomas (Tuomas), Wednesday, 5 May 2004 06:33 (twenty-one years ago)

Everyone should have more sex.

Sick Nouthall (Nick Southall), Wednesday, 5 May 2004 08:47 (twenty-one years ago)

sex with the ex vs no sex at all - talk about your no-score draws, or old-drawers scores as it were

stevem (blueski), Wednesday, 5 May 2004 08:54 (twenty-one years ago)

It's never worked for me. In fact, it's more than just "not worked" it's been a crashing disaster every time. There's usually a reason that we broke up the first time. It depends on how good you are at separating sex from your emotions. If I'm not close enough/compatible enough to work a relationship with someone, then I'm not going to be able to "just" have sex. Because in my own experience, "just sex" misses the point of what I'm looking for.

My advice would be "don't do it" but you know, I'm not you, and I don't know your ex.

(I don't know why I keep reading and/or posting to these advice threads. Like others have said, if you're asking the question, you've probably already made up your mind. And the advice given on ILX is not necessarily the best, but just the loudest shouting.)

Super-Kate (kate), Wednesday, 5 May 2004 08:55 (twenty-one years ago)

One of my exes has this really small, flickery sluglike tongue - UGH its so fucking gross, sometimes I just want to smash her face in.

LC, Wednesday, 5 May 2004 10:17 (twenty-one years ago)

erm, if she's really your ex, you can avoid such a tongue. and it's not her fault, or any sort of excuse for nasty violence....

paulhw (paulhw), Wednesday, 5 May 2004 20:33 (twenty-one years ago)

What a fucking horrible thing to say.

What a vulgar, idiotic cunt you are, LC.

Markelby (Mark C), Wednesday, 5 May 2004 20:57 (twenty-one years ago)

Sorry, I thought the context of the thread would explain the joke. What I meant is that this ex is really bad for me (plays with my self-confidence, turns my friends against me etc) but I get so weak and lonesome I still call her sometimes, heedless of lizard tongue and treachery. I meant it in a "I'd like to punch [musician] in the face" kind of way. Markelby I know you've despised me for some time now but honestly I think you're alright, otherwise I wouldn't have started this post with Sorry.

five years pass...

is it a bad idea to have sex with an ex about 3 years after you broke up?

titchy (titchyschneiderMk2), Tuesday, 14 July 2009 17:10 (sixteen years ago)

i guess it depends on all of the other information that you will dripfeed into the thread as it goes on.

no.

meeting up with exes - c or d

Then, it dawned on me: "I HAVE BEEN PLAYED!" (omar little), Tuesday, 14 July 2009 17:13 (sixteen years ago)

it's quite easy to pull this off as you probably know everything you already hate about this person. so if the sex is good, you have nothing to lose if everyone keeps their emotions out of it. which is possible.
