So I had an unfortunate situation last night where I've walked in the pub and seemingly 2 of my ex bf's are having a friendly chat. And I just thought what on earth they would say about me to each other. Then if Alllll my previous ex boyfriends/flings were in a room together what would that conversation be like😂

Boyfriend 1.....she's crazy.
Boyfriend 2.....she was lovely but distance was an issue.
Boyfriend 3.....she's crazy.
Boyfriend 4.....she cheated (I didn't btw)
Boyfriend 5.....she's an attention seeking slut.
Boyfriend 6.....what's her name again (1 night stand)
Boyfriend 7.....perfect for each other but can't have children.
Boyfriend 8.....I'm a crazy attention seeking slut.
Current boyfriend....I'm single😅

Hah!

Boyfriend one: She ditched me on the eve of something special for no good reason. (There were good reasons).

Boyfriend two: Reader, I married him.

CanIinterestyouinasarcasticcomment · 04/02/2025 12:01

BF 1: Teenage love, we outgrew each other.
BF 2: I couldn't give up cocaine for our marriage or our children. (True & I know he's man enough to admit that)
BF 3: Her kids didn't like me. (True but it was deserved)
BF 4: She's a slag (truth is he was cheating on his wife with me, and when I found out I ended it immediately & told his wife the truth when she called me to ask who I was, as I didn't know she existed)
BF 5: She's the love of my life (He spent 13 years as my best friend, waiting for me, we've been together as a couple for 5 months now and all is going well)

Ah that's so lovely @JustCuttinAboot only 1 good reason needed is that you met your future husband😍

Actually, I think they would all have relatively nice things to say about me. Even the fairly unhinged alcoholic one. I’ve stayed in touch with most of my significant exes, though I’ve been married to Dh for 17 years now. I could definitely level some critiques of them (which I don’t think any of them would disagree with), but I think they’d actually have mostly positive things to say about me. Now my family on the other hand. 😂

researchers3 · 04/02/2025 20:58

Omg. I shudder to think!!

What a horrible thought!!

Pigeonqueen · 04/02/2025 21:01

My first ex - terribly abusive, left him when dd was 6 months old, she’s now 21 - would tell everyone a horrendous sob story about how I went off with another man and left him all alone. Yep, this was after he was effectively refusing to leave my house and assaulting me and threatening to take dd away to Thailand (to the point I had to take out an order so he couldn’t use her passport).

My second ex - not a clue what he’d say about me. He left me for an ex he had found on Facebook! He’d probably tell everyone I talked him into relocating to the middle of nowhere and he was lonely or something (even though he was happy to go along with it)!

Other minor exes would probably just moan about me generally. Too needy, too much in general, chronic complex health issues etc and basically a boring soul.

Been with dh 15 years now so can’t be all bad.

Calmestofallthechickens · 04/02/2025 21:10

My husband actually gets on pretty well with my first ever boyfriend from when I was 16. They both agree that I am great but ‘a lot’.

If they ever met ex-BF number 2, who thinks I am the devil, they would undoubtedly gang up and take the piss out of him…

user1471453601 · 04/02/2025 21:19

I dare say a proportion of them would say Who?

I had quite a life when I was younger, I look back with fondness on it now. I had a good time. And hope I didn't hurt people, but way back then, I loved sex. I always thought humans were supposed to?

And yes, I'd look back at some of them, and think, who?

So, go shoot me. I'm in my mid 70s and I've still got the memories.

hjfoau · 04/02/2025 21:22

No exes, just my husband: "she's crazy".

xRobin · 21/02/2025 22:54

I’d be more terrified at being in a room with all my ex’s 😂

Boyfriend 1 - She dumped me, broke my heart (I was 16 and damaged)
Boyfriend 2 - I was in a really bad place and couldn’t love her like she deserved but she did help me into therapy
Boyfriend 3 - She cheated. She’s a psycho. I think she fancies me. I hate her. I reckon I could get her back. She’s crazy. I promise it was her that cheated definitely not me. I’m amazing. I think she wants me.
Boyfriend 4 - I loved my ex and kept telling her I loved my ex and then she was really rude and left me.
Current DP - Absolute chatterbox, never shuts up, always wants a leg tickle, cooks me nice dinners.

BCBird · 21/02/2025 23:02

Boyfriend 1 she will pay for everything 🙄
Boyfriend 2. She is a damn fine woman who is full of life.
Single now

dizzydizzydizzy · 21/02/2025 23:10

All my exes were all narcissists so they'd all be telling each other how brilliant they are.

maternitylleave102 · 21/02/2025 23:14

Nothing, they would fight.
One is a boxer, the other one was pro MMA.

My ex used to be by abuser.

MiddlingMarch · 22/02/2025 08:11

They would probably say that I was needy, chaotic and wild. Funny. Should probably wear more dresses and makeup.

Which (apart from the clothes and makeup) would be fair. I was still figuring out how I wanted life to work and who I was. But that's what being young is all about, after all.

I never understood why they had opinions about my clothes or makeup. It had little impact on me anyway.

LadyEstrellaDellaheugh · 22/02/2025 08:15

Boyfriend 1- (first teenage boyfriend) was a bit of a sleaze ball and would probably tell me how gorgeous I am and that he misses me
Boyfriend 2- short lived we had a nice time nothing bad happened he just gave me the ick early on, he'd probably just say she ended things very abruptly one day
Boyfriend 3- first real serious boyfriend he would definitely say I broke his heart in a horrid way as I cheated on him (18/19 yo went abroad and had lots of "fun" but didn't consider the impacts...)
Boyfriend 4- married for 12 years

Damnloginpopup · 22/02/2025 08:15

"What a lovely funeral. These sausage rolls are amazing."

twindy · 22/02/2025 08:18

1: would have married her
2: nice girl but we were too young
3: would marry her right now
4: (ex husband) she'll never be happy

I've seen alot of traffic down the years but had 4 proper relationships, 5 including my current one.

frozendaisy · 22/02/2025 08:25
  1. teenage crush should have stayed together I tried once she left for uni but she was too different by then - still see him when I go back home town
  2. I don't understand why she left my headcase ass
  3. I shouldn't have made it that hard to dump me
  4. all my friends thought she was bad for me (probably true)
  5. yeah dumped that bitch (thank fuck for that)
  6. too crazy both sides
  7. ending was a shame all round
  8. never would have worked
  9. we wanted to live in different places there was no compromise
  10. i can't and don't have to live without her!
KittenPause · 22/02/2025 08:25

When I was younger 2 exes remarked that I had a nice bum

KittenPause · 22/02/2025 08:26

Actually it was an ex and a current DP at the time

LePetitMaman · 22/02/2025 08:36

Bf 1 - I lied about having ambition and a plan then got shitty when she didn't like that I wanted to stay home and play on my computer instead

Bf 2 - she's the love of my life, I hate her for leaving because I can't accept I never could have made her stay

Bf 3 - I'm one of the most successful men on the planet, she was too young and too volatile, we'd probably be married and happily ever after if she had the mindset then that she has now

Bf 4 - I wasn't really her bf, just a rebound from her losing bf 3, but I'm such a mummy's boy who gets everything I want, that I told everyone we were a serious couple, then was the victim when she put everyone straight

Bf 5 - I'm a narcissist and like the sound of being with bf 3's ex because it makes me feel important and my life is about how others view me. I lied through my teeth about who I am to get a seat at her table. Now I can't afford to leave her. She endures me because she got pregnant 9 weeks after we met, but I know she won't stay with me, no one can with the lies I tell.

LostMyLanyard · 22/02/2025 10:08

ExH 1: She stopped me from seeing my kids which is why I haven't seen them or paid any child support ever! (So far from the truth it's laughable...he simply disappeared out of our lives after his affair woman rang me and told me about it! He refused to see the children as they were an inconvenience to his new 'single' lifestyle 🤷‍♀️)

ExH 2: she's a crazy bitch and deserved it! (He was an alcoholic and financially abused me. He beat me physically, broke my cheek bone and collar bone, and then got all offended when I reported this to the police!)

All other previous partners would say I'm great! I'm friends with most of them on SM and still occasionally meet up for drinks or festivals with 4 of them. In fact, one of my lovely exes moved to Australia with his wife and children a two years ago, and I introduced them to another ex who moved there many years ago...they are now best friends and live a few miles from each other 🥰
