What are reasons for reaching out to an ex?

16 comments

1. my ex reached out to me recently just to check in w me. we’re good friends and reaching out to each other once in every while is normal for us. i don’t reach out to any other exes because they were toxic.

2. None

3. No reason

4. Loneliness is usually the only reason I would ever do it

5. if something happened to one of their family members (and you were on good terms with them).

6. None

7. sex

8. Really depends how it ended but most of the time there aren’t any healthy reasons.

9. Queer solidarity & friendship.

10. Child support or discovery of an STI/STD that you may have passed to them

11. To say hi and catch up because we’re still friends.

12. i have an ex that i check in with periodically. we were good friends before, during and after. we reach out and catch up on life. sometimes we go to each other for advice. i’m even close with his wife since i knew the two and introduced them. so if he doesn’t catch me up, she will.

13. He has my Sega Saturn and I want it back.

14. Catch up, check in, wish them well if they’ve had good/bad news recently… You know, stuff you do when someone isn’t problematic

15. Being pregnant, wanting him back,..

16. He had a password I needed
