why do girls always talk about their Ex's so much? Options

[coustoe]

I never talk about my ex girlfriends, but most girls ive been with always love to talk about how great the ex where. I wonder if they are just trying to make me feel bad or something.

[OrbitalGT95]

Just remember, if the ex was really that great, she wouldn't be with you. Or, the ex may have been great, but she still chose you over him.

Or it's selective memory, but we know that women never practice that (as opposed to men, who are just forgetful about most things).

Ehh...both male & females do it (not everyone of course)

A few months ago I was on a date w/ this guy & he talked about his ex Non-stop! When I ordered what I wanted for dinner he laughed & said "that was my ex's favorite!!!" & then when I said I love mashed potatoes he said "my EX loves mashed potatoes!

No joke...this guy was a frikin idiot lol...he talked about her a lot more than that but I was just giving some examples...

oh when i talk about an ex i talk about how ****ty he was most of the time so that u know what not to do :-)

[LadyHavoc]

means she's still crushin' over the last guy...you can either tell her how it makes you feel or move on man...

edit: my bad...I can't say why they do that...it just depends on the person and their maturity I guess...eventually they'll learn not to do it. how old are the girls you dating?

It doesn't really make me feel terrible, but it kinda makes it wonder if they are just with me, because im the nice fall back guy.

and most of them are in their early 20s

[Consynx]

i'm w/ Mac on this.

Just tell em to shut up, unless it's Nat's style of saying "stop doing what you're doing or you're gone"

This is honesty.

I talk about my ex a lot because I miss him. Period. Not enough to interfere with the relationship though.

[CelicaBuddy]

I never talked about my ex boyfriend... and when I did, I talked crap about him, how much of a f***ing sleeze he was, and how much I regreted going out with him in the first place....

but thats okay, cuz my current bf is the best

[CheesyLobster]

honestly, i hate it. i think that its mostly inconciderate and shows that they have something else on their minds. I mean, its fine to mension the x, but if they go on and on, ugggg..

oye...early 20s...let them mature more, otherwise I honestly don't know what to say man, except life is too short to dwell on such things. oh and uh you can go with Macavely's advise (LOL), but I wouldn't use those exact words if you want to continue seeing that particular gal.

[Anub1s]

They do it to make you jealous, to make sure that you are with them and that you want to be with them. It's a way of self assurance for them. That's all. As long as she doesn't actually cheat on you with the ex, don't worry about it. If it gets really bad then tell her you'd rather not talk about them or change the subject.
