A few hours ago I had a really weird conversation with an ex. I haven't had any contact with her for 3 years and out of nowhere today she told me she had a dream about me, and she'd contacted me to say she was sorry for what had happened all those years ago.

It's just weird because of the situation her and I were in, and that there was no real reason why we should have broken up beyond her "selfish needs" (which I won't go into). At the time I didn't blame her (although I was upset) and now I still don't. I just think 3 years is a pretty long time to randomly get into contact with someone, especially over a dream, and considering there was never any real "blame". It was quite surreal and I just don't know what to make of it.

Has anyone else had a similar experience?

Yeah, a month or two ago. He sent me a facebook message and friend request, and when I asked him why he'd randomly contact me after we hadn't spoken a word to each other in a year and a half, he says "I dunno, just wanted to see how life was", which coming from him means he'd just like to pry his way back into my life for whatever reason. I told him to shove it and denied his friend requests, and that was the end of that.

It happened a few times, I guess I leave a lasting impression...

Ive once came back together with an ex after 4 years... it was fairly akward,and in the end it did not last long.

And a few times one of two of them decided to contact me again for conversations and things like that...

I must admit that I do not really like it, it feels odd... It is hard to know how to act when you meet someone you once had a relationship with.

Long ago she contacted me and said sorry and that was it. Fast forward just about a year and we started contacting each other again. Feels weird yet good at the same time.

Well i broke up with my ex and after a few months she contacted me and wanted us to at least stay in contact and ironically we became real good friends after a few months similar to how it sorta was before we started to date in the first place.

However, I still do have feelings for her and it gets hard at times but oh well, can't really runaway now because she pretty much said she's not letting me go.:P ... Even after having some "fun" after we got rather tipsy last summer.:P

my high school love contacted me after a few years of not talking to one another. it was weird, but nice at the same time. we were together for a little over 2 years, and when we split up it crushed me inside. now i'm married, and have a great life, and so does she. she asked for us (spouses included) to get together for dinner or something, but i said no. i don't have feelings for her, but i just didn't see the point in trying to re-make a friendship together. she was my first, and i was her first. well things like that would just make a friendship very awkward. i can picture my wife sitting there thinking 'so this was my husbands first love', and although my wife would not have any problem with an occasional get together ( she's far from the jealous type) i just couldn't do that to her. my ex understood, but to this day she will occasionally give me a call to see how things are going. it's kinda weird because after all this time i have never been the one to try and reconnect with her. i've moved on, and once lovers ( regardless if it's High School love or not) it would just be odd to try and have a friendship. well that's my story...

Sort of. I stay friends with exes... which is kind of weird. But there was one that after months of not talking to me, just showed up, as if nothing happened... It's most disconcerting.

Yeah it has. What was even more awkward was I deleted her number, and she called. So i answered asking who it was after she apologized about what happened.

:lol:

I've had an ex contact me before, and it was pretty much the same thing as TC's story. We broke up, nothing I did, infact she didn't even tell me we broke up, she just wouldn't answer my phone calls, and then her friend told me. Few years later, she sends me an IM and we started talking, we almost got back together, then she played the "I want to wait until my grades are better to date you." game and then ended up dating someone else instead. That's when I basically said screw you (except in a different phrase) and kept away.

Interestingly enough, she has tried to contact me after that, too.

All the time. Especially relationships that ended oddly, such as both of us just stopped communicating one day. Those always come back and ask what happened about a year or two later.

But being a decent person in general, it is inevitable that after a cruddy relationship my ex's come back to someone that was actually nice. Trick is to just stay strong. What's done is done.

Heh, yeah everything is the same for me. EVERYTHING, so I didn't have much to tell and I felt weird asking her about a few things. But her and I won't (and can't) get back together anyway. And since we brokeup without real conclusion some feelings are still there so I dunno. It's just weird.

This just happen two days ago to be precise; It's been a few years and I wasn't expecting it but he gave me a genuine apology(something very rare from a guy to me) for playing with my emotions many years ago. That really put a smile on my face even though I still gave him a little attitude about it--i'm very proud of him for manning up and reaching out to me for that. I'm actually considering doing the same but I wouldn't even know where to begin with all the people I'd have to get in touch with and i'm a little too set in my ways at the moment.

A few years ago a girl I was very interested in once upon a time asked if I wanted to go to a movie and dinner. I told her I was flattered but that I was married now. She asked me how close I was to my wife... conversation got a little weird at that point.

My ex does so all the time. At first it was rather bothersome, but I've learnt to deal with it and treat it for what it is.

My cell phone likes to call people randomly when it is in my pocket even when it's locked. One day, my phone decided to be funny and call an ex-girlfriend who I had been saving up an engagement ring for. The "funny" thing is, my phone decided to call about a week after her wedding day. I realized this several minutes after the call and thankfully did not have to speak with her. However, the next day she tried to call back. I did not answer. While I have nothing against her, I simply cannot emotionally handle speaking with her even though we broke up over 2 years ago.

Yeah, it's never usually good other than a quick catching up. Though exciting at first, I try to always remember the reason we didn't work out, and finish up the conversation.

You mean you were saving up for a ring while you were together, right? not when your phone called her?

Yes. Words, not always good, my ability to use them.

Yeah, that's happened to me before. It's kind of weird but nice at the same time. Relationships with exes are interesting and can't be compared to any other types of relationships.

Kind of. I'd been seeing a guy for a couple of weeks but it didn't work out because I wanted no strings fun and he wanted a proper relationship. A couple of years later he contacts me on Facebook just asking how I was. I knew there must've been a reason for him randomly contacting me, found out he'd split up with his gf and wanted a shoulder to cry on. I wasn't impressed lol :P
