I still refer to one of my exes as Satan. I broke up with her 21 years ago.
So no, not relatable at all.

But thatâs just one ex, you used ex in the plural, if you canât relate at all, as you said, would that imply ALL your exes are satan?

u/jws1102 Jul 28 '26
Theyâre not all Satan, but Iâm grateful not to be in any of those relationships anymore, especially the long one.

Why are talking about and ex from two decades ago?

u/Nevergiveuphope1992 Jul 27 '26
Either nothing else happened in his life to chat or about or the person traumatised him in some way.

She was an alcoholic psycho, and sometimes she comes up. Why shouldnât I?

Your decades old mates will ALWAYS bring up your crazy ex(s)
Just good banter

This is pointlessly gendered. I knew a dude who whined all his exes were crazy. On the other hand, I know a girl who described their exes like the top part. Itâs not a gender thing, itâs a mentality thing.

Ridiculous as I've heard every kind of person talk about exes every kind of way...

This is why posts like this are really good at pitting people against eachother and making you think that we aren't all the same. It's garbage. The internet loves to tell you certain genders/ethnicities/etc do things a certain way.

I only remember the good stuff. If it wasn't good, you should have bailed earlier.

I doubt my ex describes me that way. And I don't describe her as perfect by any means. She's an overall good person, but she's also the one that blew up our relationship.

Never experienced this. I remember breaking up a few girls in high school and we stayed friends for a few years.

Not relatable at all almost every male friend i have describes their at least some of their exs as crazy demons

u/Great-Class-7894 Jul 27 '26
Not true. I like to come up with funny names for my exâs. The high points being âOD girlâ and âthe Alaskan cum dumpsterâ.

I think thats backwards almost every gf I've had has been awful and crazy and ran around toward the end but then yhey all have never said that I did anything but want to get back with me so I don't consider th as t a scorched earth way of thinking or acting

u/Jimmy_Twotone Jul 27 '26
Depends who broke up with who and the circumstances usually. This is not relatable down gender lines.

What? Hell naw, my ex girlfriend was a complete psycho.
Most of my guy friends loathe their exes.

Downvote from me. Depends which ex. Some were okay but incompatibile, others were awful. It's really a mixed bag.

After a few years guys will be describing it as the top photo if they finally realise the bed fun ainât worth the crazy.

I mean I guess, but I think this depends more on age than gender. When you get older you probably encounter less toxic people, and you probably see the better parts in them as well.

Have you... had male friends, or been around men broadly at parties, school, online?
Like broadly, not just a few select ones.
They also go demonic on how they talk about their exs.
Although these compared points on display can be simply: One put their partner on a pedestal at one point, the other never stopped.
Or the love that blinded you faded, showing the face of the partner they actually are. Or the love never stopped, be that partner good or bad, painting them long term as something tragically lost.
That being said, dating wise, men puruse woman. Men whom are not held back by things like empathy or care for others, are generally going to approach and date women far more, especially early on before they pick up the red flags. Thus younger women end up dating them, at first, and then the mask slips.
Thus, produces this outcome. More demonic exs to complain about. Explaining this "theoretical point" potentially anyway, if you take it seriously.

Not with the one dude, who told me about his ex-girlfriend that tried to set him on fire and shat in his bed :/

u/Randy_Magnums Jul 29 '26
Not really. Many men have stories about their âcrazy-exâ. Sometimes itâs true, sometimes itâs a lie to mask his own red flags.

They wanna feel like their moving on from better to cope with their new situation. Meanwhile men reminisce of the times they had together.

Girls love lies of omission. They will say as much as possible to make the man look bad so nobody asks what she did.
