How is an "ex" defined?


Recommended Posts

I have a question concerning the term "ex".

 

Do most people refer to an "ex" to include:

 

1.) Someone you were in a relationship with for a significant period of time;

 

2.) Someone you dated between 1-6 months;

 

3.) Someone you dated less than a month;

 

4.) Someone you developed feelings towards, regardless of how long the two of you dated.

anyone whom I had become exclusive with.

 

That's what I pretty much lean towards too, in my view. But now-a-days, there seems to be so many different definitions to everything.

Perhaps reflecting a different commitment style, stbx (my former wife) is the only lady I (will) truly consider to be an 'ex'. My relationships have always been marriage pathways rather than serial BF/GF arrangements, and none other than her proceeded beyond serious dating to an engagement and marriage. Since they're spread around the country and world, it doesn't really matter. ;)

 

If I had to pick one of the offerings, it would be door number one.
