Ok, I'm in a new relationship and just recently her ex came up in a topic accidentally. We were talking about her old place and I asked her if she lived with anybody there and she responds with: "Yeaaah, but I cant tell you." After 10 seconds of pause she blirts out "I lived with my ex until we broke up." I didnt wanna keep talking about it so I just brushed it off. But anyways, I just wanted to know what you guys think about talking about your girls ex? What are the do's and don'ts? Or is it something that should just be ignored?

If you like the girl, ignore it otherwise it will eat you up. Very rare to find a virgin these days. If you do want a virgin go become religious.


Be happy that she is with you and move forward.

I don't ignore it but I don't talk about past eighter.

Nothing good came from "past love" talks ever. I never say how many girls I've been with and don't want to know how many she was with eighter.

My GF was in LTR for 8 years. And only thing I know about it is the first name of her ex. But to be honest I just find other peoples relationships boring.

Meh, I will disagree with the majority here. I always ask about ex's early on. Jealousy is just a sign of insecurity and I'm not insecure. The ex's are usually ex's for a good reason. After hearing about all the horror stories of her previous relationships, I typically go on my rant about how most guys are relationship-impaired and about how society does a terrible job educating guys about this stuff. It works as a huge DHV because I "get it".

In my opinion, ex's are there to be lightly mocked and make good material for teasing and push-pull tactics (much like boyfriends). That's about it.
