My ex-girlfriend's name just popped up as a recent chat in Facebook Messenger. A name which hasn't appeared on my phone for 8 years.

Turns out some old friends who have broken up have decided to leave some old group chats we all had together which I archived many years ago, which made them pop up again to inform me that they left the group. That means conversely, my name must have just popped up on my ex's Facebook Messenger too.

Fun times.

I might be weird, but I think all my relationships ended on friendly enough terms. I'm not in contact with any of my exes, but I'd be fine enough to chat with any of them if something like this happened and they said 'hi'.

I don't hold negative feelings for any of them, but it seems that's uncommon.

The idea that one must loath exes is weird. Iโ€™m mostly indifferent to mine. On the other hand not long ago my partner and I attended the wedding of his ex to his best mate that she left him for. I totally get how not everyone would be ok with that particular kettle of fish.

Wow... I would so not be comfortable with that.
