Talking to exes is usually a set up for hurt and fail.

In response to #115: -If she wasn't fat to begin with, maybe she should be consulting a nutritionist / psychiatrist / family / friends for advice and/or relief through conversation. -Whatever the reason was for their breakup, why would she continue talking to him in the first place? 'Cause she's an idiot who can't let go. -People break up for a reason. Unless the reason was something akin to: if he didn't break up with her, her parents would put a bullet in his kneecap or something, people need to stop being idiots and take a hint. YOU ARE NOT COMPATIBLE WITH EACH OTHER SO YOU BROKE UP, STOP TRYING. It'll save you lots and lots of anguish and open up lots and lots of better opportunities. To the OP: You deserve it, idiot.

Why do you think he cares? You're just being melodramatic. Get over it.

#131, not all exes just ignore each other. my best friend and her bf broke up about 4 months ago, and they were together for 2 years. they're still friends and talk to each other often. just because you talk to your ex doesnt mean you 'cant get over it'. and anyway. if she was with the guy for a long time, it would be hard to let go.

you probably shouldnt have told him that.only gave him satisfaction.wasnt making the situation any better.maybe youll think next time.but that sucks that he said that.kinda sounds like a dick.

FHL you deserve a lot better :) dust yourself off and walk away ;)

131... Does it say anywhere in the FML that she didn't talk to a nutritionist? If it does, I didn't see it. And hey, talking to her ex technically IS relief through conversation. She just got a jerk reply. And like 133 said, not everyone who breaks up just drops off the face of the earth and never speaks to one another again. Maybe this was a parent situation like you said. OR they could just remain in contact. I still talk to nearly every ex of mine, and not because I can't let go, but because there is an interest in how things are going for one another. If they were together for a while (which is likely since the stress of the breakup obviously meant she cared) then it would be hard for someone to just drop out of their life. Have you never cared about someone enough that you want them in your life forever? I hope you do one day, and when you do, remember this post and feel like an ass for assuming the OP is a clingy idiot.

yay to FML staff for changing "your" to "you're"

WTF #10?? How does he have poor grammar??? "You're welcome" = "You are welcome" sounds correct to me...

AHH, Now that I saw #137, makes more sense.
