Astrogirl Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 It's not happened to me but just interested to see what you would do if your ex contacted you and offered you less in a relationship than you had before? What would you say?
Blue_Skirt Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 He is an ex, for a reason. Why would you settle for less than you had before?
dias Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 Given your previous threads i wouldn't reply .
mhowe Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 Why on earth would you settle for less? At one point my ex did contact me, and told me he wanted to get back together. When I asked why, he said "because I miss you". I told him that wasn't good enough.
Andrina Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 Just about every time a relationship ended, an ex contacted me. I've never once been tempted to get back together. If I ended it, it was because the person didn't meet my needs and I prefer to move on without second chances. If he broke up with me, I'd never give a second chance to someone who chose to throw me away instead of working on problems. I've either ignored the text, or once I said, "We're not compatible, so there's no reason to speak." One time I answered the phone and informed the guy I had a serious boyfriend, which was true, and he never bothered me again.
HeartGoesOn Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 It's not happened to me but just interested to see what you would do if your ex contacted you and offered you less in a relationship than you had before? What would you say? I would laugh at his stupidity, and tell him to "take a hike."
j.man Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 Nope. I'm not above NSA sex when I'm single, but I'm not gonna deal with the potential drama of an ex rebuilding feelings.
DoF Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 I wouldn't have allowed for ex to contact me in the first place, and if they did, I would ignore them/block them.
YouCanDeleteThisAccount Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 I have little interest in reconnecting with an ex. If I had done them wrong, I would of course want the opportunity to say I'm sorry, but for my ex, unless she wants that opportunity to clear her mind, I have little interest in hearing from her whether she wants to offer something less or the world. She blew it.
greta96 Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 Hahahaha.... I wouldn't even entertain him if he offered me the same thing, never mind less!
siegfri333 Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 I would take her as buddy while looking for better prospects.
ParisPaulette Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 That's already happened to me before. I believe my response was something along the lines of "You just keep dreaming" only ruder. Only when I had zero self-esteem was I willing to settle for a demotion from girlfriend/partner to booty call and that was when I was young. Plus yeah, the last ex although he was at least smart enough until the last time to go through the pretense of being committed and monogamous. He still tries to contact me, I just block it and keep going. I've moved on, but even that last time when I wasn't fully moved on I just felt anger at him. Do I look like I have a "I can be had for a penny" sign on my back, fool?" I heartily recommend anyone being offered such tell your ex off and never look back. It's a massive insult.
reinventmyself Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 Again. . .so much for NC if you continue to obsess about him and have multiple threads going over a guy who's already clearly moved on.
Blue_Skirt Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 My last ex had sent me an e-mail more than a year after he ended our relationship. He regretted his decision and wanted to have me back. He wrote he knew I did not want him back, but he said he’d give it a try anyway. WHAT? Did the guy have no more selfrespect? And If I would have taken him back, what kind of woman would I be?
Astrogirl Posted November 18, 2015 Author Posted November 18, 2015 Again. . .so much for NC if you continue to obsess about him and have multiple threads going over a guy who's already clearly moved on. This isn't about my ex. It is a general question. Re-read the original question if you're unsure. And my ex hasn't moved on, without me revealing how I know this.
Astrogirl Posted November 18, 2015 Author Posted November 18, 2015 Some great posts here. I've heard such a lot from people who reckon their exes contacted them for NSA or less than what they had before. It beggars belief how an ex would actually be cheeky enough to even approach an ex with this kind of attitude. Glad you all saw sense though.
Clinton Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 This isn't about my ex. It is a general question. Re-read the original question if you're unsure. And my ex hasn't moved on, without me revealing how I know this. We're ok with you lying to us, just don't lie to yourself
Astrogirl Posted November 18, 2015 Author Posted November 18, 2015 Haha, Thanks for your concern but I'm not lying. I can't be lying if this has never happened to me. I'd be mortified if I ever got asked this question by an ex. It really was just a general question, that's all.
overthemoon86 Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 Even if I was offered a pot of gold and a relationship with my ex, I would tell him to "efffff off"
Movingforward3 Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 I think at some point you just have to let it go. Talking to her now would only slow me down. As hard as it is, I wouldn't respond.
Hollyj Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 It's not happened to me but just interested to see what you would do if your ex contacted you and offered you less in a relationship than you had before? What would you say? How about, get lost. Why would you settle for a demotion?
Dottieflanogon Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 I wouldn't respond to anything less than full fledged attempt at reconciliation, if that's what I want
catfeeder Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 It's not happened to me but just interested to see what you would do if your ex contacted you and offered you less in a relationship than you had before? What would you say? That's not worthy of a response.
lajavanaise Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 Settle for less ? NEVER !!! Never settle for less, you only have one life and you deserve to be loved !
