We asked girls about the last conversation they had with their ex

It’s a known fact that break ups suck. And random texts and messages from your ex long after your break up grieving process is complete suck, too. The awkward ex convo is different for everyone: for some it’s a mistake, and for others it’s a strategically calculated discussion in an attempt to rekindle the romance. But each and every last conversation is unique in it’s own wildly uncomfortable way. 

I spoke to ten different girls about the last thing they ever said to their ex and got a glimpse into just how many different outcomes there are when two ex lovers try to play nice.

Hope

I texted him thinking he was a different guy and asked what the English homework was. Oops!

Alexa

She wanted to be friends with benefits and for me to have a threesome with her and her girlfriend… we had been broken up for over a year.

Immy

He asked me when he could meet my new boyfriend. He was serious.

Megan

My ex and I parked next to each other senior year of high school and we talked about how there was a used condom in between our spots.

Hayley

The last convo I had with my ex was when he texted me picture of the board he had which had everyone in the crew of the musical we did in high school sign. I guess I had deleted his number because my first text was, “Who is this?” and it was very awkward small talk from there… This was maybe three years after we broke up?

Kristie

We were going to the same party after prom (after we had broken up and didn’t go to the actual prom together) so we were talking about the rules for the party and he asked me, “Wait, why aren’t foursomes allowed again?” 

Remi

The last convo I had with my ex was two summers ago and he texted me saying he needed to talk to someone from home. We are from Michigan and he moved to Texas. He ended up calling me to tell me that he had just broken up with his girlfriend and didn’t know how to tell his parents that his life was in shambles.

Niki

We talked about how when we dated freshman year a Facebook fight broke out between him and another guy about me.

Caroline

The other night my ex hit me up to have a threesome with him.

Anna

My last conversation with my ex was today. He told me him and his girlfriend were on a permanent hiatus, kissed me, then I saw his mom post this picture of them this morning.

There you have it, ladies and gents. Everything from a shameless plea for one last hook-up or light hearted reminiscence is possible when texting someone you once dated. Whether the topic is serious or not, re-opening the wound of a past beau can have some tough consequences like catching feelings and heart break (again).

So next time you or someone you know tries to send a risky text to their ex, or reply to one that they received put the phone down and move on. After all, it’s better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all (even if they kinda sucked in the end).
