Guest Posted July 28, 2006 Posted July 28, 2006 I need some input. I don't know if this is just a "guy thing" or what, but I would like to know. When I am done, I am done. End of story. I am still very much in love w/ my ex, and probaby always will be. He may be the one exception to my rule, but only time will tell. I am still friends with several of my exes. I will be civil to all of the others, but would not call them friends. Since my big break up, every single one of my exes (except for the one I'm still in love with, of course!), even the really evil one, has attempted to get back with me. Thinking back, it seems that any guy I've ever dated, always thinks he can just come back. It never happens. Thinking about a lot of guy friends I have, it seems they do the same to their exes, too. Do guys have this territorial thing going on or something? Are they ever just done? Never going back? Do women do this? I don't, and I'm not aware of any of my friends who do it.
johnnytable Posted July 28, 2006 Posted July 28, 2006 I think that guys can be just done, but this doesn't happen until they are no longer in any form of contact with you. Until then, I would be suspicious that they are your "friend" because they still think there is a chance to get back together with you.
Ariadne Posted July 28, 2006 Posted July 28, 2006 Hi, Do guys have this territorial thing going on or something? Are they ever just done? Never going back? Do women do this? I'm friends with most of my exes, and none of them ever wanted to come back to me again, in my experience. They may have gone on with their lives, got remarried, but still remain in good terms.

Until then, I would be suspicious that they are your "friend" because they still think there is a chance to get back together with you. The ones I'm friends with aren't "trying" to get back with me. The others have all been NC...some for decades...and they just show up...out of the blue...wanting to start again...ALL of them...even guys I just went on dates with years ago...hell, my Jr. High prom date called and asked me out last week...and we just went to that because neither of us could find anyone else to go with. So, if there is no contact...they "forget about you"? And if you run into them after many years, or they hear you are in the area, they figure they can just start it all back up?
