Well, it's one thing if they call because you guys are friends, but since you say "they can't move on," that's pretty concerning. I would definitely not call them back after making it very clear that you're not interested in talking to them any more.

I have ex's that still email me..which is worse... and I try really hard to ignore them. I have one that makes Mr. CC's skin crawl...
hell no... they are ex's for a reason!
we once bumped into my ex while at the grocery store, hubby is far more politer than i ever can be so while they were talking about something (rebreathers-its scuba related) i walked away while the ex was mid sentence and continued the shopping till hubby caught up a few mins later.
I don't ever hear from any exes. I wouldn't mind occasionally talking to them because they used to be good friends, but some people just don't know how to act like adults.
I've cut off contact with my exes once they became exes...although my college ex (5 year relationship) emailed me out of the clear blue three weeks ago. I didn't open it though, just deleted it.
If your ex won't go away, can you change your number?
It depends on the ex. My long term college boyfriend and I still talk all the time. He's met my FH and I honestly believe that he just wants me to be happy. He's coming to the wedding!
Other exes - nope, don't call them back. Don't want to fall down that well of hurt.
My last serious relationship before Mr. ended on relatively friendly terms. When I moved back to Texas we kept in touch pretty regularly.... until I met Mr. and knew things were headed in a serious direction. We have spoken a couple of times since then, but I do not go out of my way to talk to him. When Mr.Rain came into the picture, all the exes went out of it. It's the best thing for our relationship.

Um, we broke up for a reason so there's no contact....why are they calling? I dunno, I'd move on asap.

Since I'm still not formally engaged, I still hear from an ex that I dated who is in cardiology. I actually used to work for his practice. Apparently, he's regretting some of his choices (in the past..like 3.5 years ago) and wishing I'd be a single girl again and available. Funny how time changes some people. He's a great guy, respects my boundaries very much, but every few months calls me to ask if I am engaged as of yet. He always says, "well if you decide waiting is too much, then give me a call..I've changed." He was never a bad guy. Great actually, but we were in a different place then and I wasn't ready to settle down nor was he. We parted as friends. We work at different places now so I don't see him and there's absolutely NO temptation at all.
T knows I get these "how are you are you engaged yet? " calls from R.
My ex-FI and I use to email about the dog we had together and the house. But the dog passed on :( and I've got a new love and FI in my life. So I finally told him the last time that I felt it was time we quit talking out of respect for our SOs.
He agreeded and that's been it since.
Yes, I still talk to some, and even invited one to our wedding. I think that the idea that they're exes for a reason has merit, but I like to think that we dated for a reason, too.
I have an ex who seriously can't move on, it is really annoying.
We have been apart for 4 years, have been with FH for almost 3 of those. This ex calls ALL THE TIME (I ignore the at least monthly calls and emails, delete the voicemails). The calls used to be almost every day, when 2x a week, then weekly ... so at least they are decreasing. My number will be changing soon enough so I won't have to deal anymore. I blocked his phone number and email at one point in time but he changed his number and email to get around the blocks.
You can't have a restraining order unless they threaten violence apparently (I discussed this, and his driving by my house at all hours of the night with the police).
Once I move it will all be behind me luckily. Luckily FH is pretty even tempered about it all.
I haven't heard from an ex in years... if one did call, I'd probably call them back after a week or two.
I answered yes before reading about the moving on part. One of my very best friends is an ex and we talk quite often. FI has met and likes him and I have met his gf as well. I think it's more of an issue if the ex is looking for something more htan just frendship but all exes were at one point important to me so I don't see it as weird to stay friends with a couple.
Well, I have an ex that I can't avoid, since he's my daughters' father, even though sometimes I wish he would go play in traffic.
Besides that, I only have one ex that I've maintained a friendship with. He lives in Los Angeles, and I'm in MI now. He's my friend on MySpace and we send each other txt msgs occasionally, but that's it. The hubs hates it, but he really has no space to talk, since he has several exes on his facebook and MySpace, including one who won't seem to give up on him, and actually sought me out at work one day last year to check me out. WTF?
If an ex called me out of the blue, I would probably call them back, and then depending on the nature of the phone call, handle it from there. But, I can't think of any that interested in just having a chat with.
soooooo funny this post is up here bc I JUST got a call from an ex yesterday! we exchanged messages (he left me a message, i left him one) but no response since, which i think is for the better, since i have yet to tell him i'm engaged and didn't really feel like having that conversation....yikes!
No way! I'm not on speaking terms with any of my ex's, but the week before my wedding, my most serious one decided to e-mail me about how much he's changed and how he's still in love with me. I told my husband and deleted it. It's like feeding a stray dog...he'll never go away if I pay him any attention!

I'm friends with all of my ex's- one is my best friend, and would be my MOH (even though he's a guy, hah!) if I wanted "bridesmaids"! The others I see off and on for lunch, on facebook, or text. I never had a relationship end poorly, and all of my friends are guys, so it's only natural to keep them as friends. It bothered FI a little at first, but not anymore, he's pretty much adjusted to it, though he pokes fun at some of them because they were bigger nerds than him (who knew the ranks of nerd could make fun of each other? :P)

my college ex boyfriend emailed me a couple of months ago to catch up.... i emailed him back and we chatted for a little, but out of respect for my bf and our relationship, i decided to cut ties (although there is NO threat there, whatsoever...)
One "ex" who was more like a "friend with benefits" over a several year period occasionally calls me, but i dont answer his calls NOR do i call him back because apparently he cant act like a big boy and let us just be friends...without the benefit. So, for the past couple of years i just ignore his call! i think he gets the point now, havent received a call from him since Election Day.
My ex FI....he has tried calling several times since our breakup...i think he most likely tried email too but i forgot that right after our breakup i blocked his email address since he was sending me these massive hurtful emails, telling me how he think he developed a "tumor' in his brain.... ::shudder:: Now his number is blocked, so i havent heard from him in a while. Thank goodness!!!
Besides these three, the others dont call or email, so thats good!! I agree with other posters, i think they are exes for a reason (no need to keep them updated on everything in your life!) , although i think it is nice to see others who were able to end relationships on friendly terms!
I do not keep in contact with my exes. I have no interest in speaking with any of them and would not answer if they contacted me.
My phone number's changed a couple times, so none of them have it anymore. A few still have my e-mail, but only one has contacted me and I never responded. I'm a firm believer of what's past is past!
I have really only had one very serious relationship and it ended badly so we defintely don't contact each other ... but I do have a few other ex's who were more like friends with benefits (hey it was college! i was a good girl, i swear!) and we've stayed in touch over the years , but it has mostly dwindled to a facebook happy birthday or i heard you're engaged ... no phone calls or whatnot. but if someone were still "pursuing" me -- I would definitely cut that out asap. You don't need that in your life.
My ex has tried contacting me on a few occasions. We ended on really bad terms, and I think he's a _____ (insert any bad word you would like here). Sometimes I am polite and tell him that I am not ready to speak to him. Other times I just ignore him. I'm sure he's gotten the hint, and he has not tried to contact me in the last year or two.
If I had a relationship that did not end on such bad terms, then I would probably be sincere and respond back to messages. Breaking up does not mean that you cannot be friends, right?
I don't communicate at all with exes... an ex is an ex for a reason. They are a part of your past and have impacted you good and bad, but that's where they should stay - your past.
I used to have an ex who called me like once a week the first year I was dating my husband. I think I felt bad because he had a lot things going on in his life and just didn't open up well to other people. After maybe a year or a year and a half of this, though, I realized those conversations were kinda taking away my time from being my husband (then boyfriend). And I was all tangled up in the emotions of what was going on in his life, which honestly weren't my problem anymore. We broke up; I'm not responsible for helping him through tough situations any more. I told the ex that I didn't want to talk to him anymore and after ignoring his calls, emails, etc... for another year, he hasn't contacted me in 2.5 years. Hallelujah!
I have kept in touch with some exes over the years - not too many because most of them are idiots! hehe
But my FI started to become friends with his ex right when we first started dating. I met her for the first time at her wedding about a year ago and have since become friends with her too! She's awesome!
I have an ex that won't stop emailing me at work. He attaches these stupid read receipts too so I think he thinks I'm reading them. I don't understand why he won't stop even after I've asked him to. I think he wants to be friends, but that would make my FH uncomfortable, so I have to just drop the whole thing.
I will hear from a couple of exes on instant messenger every blue moon or so. I think it's harmless that we carry on a "catch-up" convo online. We never IM for very long, just long enough to see how each other is doing. One of my exes is married with a baby, and he will send me pictures of the baby (he's very proud of his son, hehe) and let me know how parenthood is treating him. He knows I'm engaged and he's very happy for me. I'm glad we can both be adults and keep in touch.

Do any of you have ex's that just don't move on? Do you call them back?
