I have an ex that I wish I could see again, even though I'm with someone. I feel like a horrible person.
That's understandable, just because you were once together and now you're not in a relationship doesn't mean that you can't still have some feelings for her left.
I'm glad you didn't immediately condemn me, thank you. I wouldn't act on those feelings of course. But I can't deny them either.
Exactly, as long as you don't act on them. On another note, ex can be used for more than just romantic relationships. It can be used for something like "ex-guitarist".
True, or like "ex-convict." Or "ex-military." Those are some ex-tra ex-amples for you.
Yup, or even "ex-friend". It can be used for many different types of relationships if not all of them.
I'm not sure if I have any true ex-friends, mostly just people I haven't talked to in a long time.
I do too, I also feel like calling them "ex-friends" can feel almost derogatory at times.
