Why ‘The Ex’ is Called ‘The Ex’
Well the ex and I had a very turbulent time at the start of our relationship.
We broke up and made up so intermittently that it became embarrassing to constantly mention it.
So I just left it at ‘the ex’, that way if we broke up again there would be no need to drag it up.
Besides, it’s a handy pseudonym.
Here read this post: that was the genesis of the term.

I meant to ask, but never got down to doing it. Was always distracted by your loverrlly illustration and awesome post-content
everyone asks
. i figured this post was due.
Mmm. I cohabited with my Ex (usu. “My Beloved Ex”) for almost a year after the breakage.
This only increased my fascination with how we were such a perfect couple.
I wonder how much, when I think of the “relationship”, I’m actually remembering those times?
Anyway: yes I had wondered about this odd nomen, with all its hints of romantic treachery and intrigue. It gives the relationship such a pleasingly fraught air!
well the ex and i never managed to maintain being an ex for very long. it was always muddled. but now i think, or at least i hope, it isnt quite so muddled.
My current wife likes to refer to herself as “your second ex-wife”.
hah. Oh gosh, well I can only hope she isn’t clairvoyant
Who’s Claire Voyant?
