National Text your X day 10/30/24

Ok I had to laugh when I saw this on the news this morning. National Text your X day ?? What will they think of next ? But since it's a national holiday ( so to speak) I texted my X !!  He was very responsive and we texted back and forth for some time today. He was a good guy to me and  although it didn't work out we remain cordual to each other. He now lives in another state.  Anyone else do a little texting today ??  Woman LOL

I've already said everything I had to say to my ex, so there's nothing left to talk about.  Besides that, he died several years ago so it's a moot point.

@Kachina624 🤗

I shouldn’t have laughed, but you went from one straight forward answer to a really set in stone kind of answer.

Ha, ha, when I saw "text your X",  I immediately thought of 'the big X',  the so-called twitter verse!  I don't keep up with my ex-boyfriends from years ago, although we parted amicably.

 

But am enjoying a limited involvement on X.

Never. They're an ex for a reason.

 

They sure do make up days for anything, don't they? 

 

Ridiculous 😂

Same exact scenario for me and I'm happy for it Smiley Happy

This is just wrong. I bet there's going to be a lot of fights and maybe even break ups if couples do this.

Nope - not happening here.  My BF's exwife and I have an almost friend like relationship.  If we chat on the phone, it can go on for an hour or so.  

 

He could really care less and would prefer not to have contact.  Then I thought about it.....she cheated on him, turns out his second son is not biologically his even though the BF is the only dad this kid has ever known.  I understand his point.

Once someone becomes an "x", unless the former couple shares children, and perhaps custody, I don't see why anyone would want to just strike up a random texting conversation.  There's a reason they're and ex.  If either party has moved on to a new relationship, it would be totally inappropriate, IMO.  

 

Live and learn.  Many years ago, I arranged to meet an old guy friend for lunch.  We were never a couple, but we had a very close friendship when we were teenagers.  I told DH what I was planning to do and he seemed OK with it.  To me, it was a lunch and catching up, but to DH it was more.  Inside he was really hurt by it.  I obviously messed up big time.  The next time a different old guy friend was to be in town and contacted me for a get together, the friend invited both DH and I.  That was a better way to do it.  

BTW, when the first guy friend I mentioned passed away DH & I attended his funeral together.
