What would you do?

[Allaboutwaiting 2,500]

Your ex contacts you -email, phone call, sms, etc.-

 

What would you do and why?

Ask them what's up.

While we have an amicable relationship, contact is rather sporadic.  Them being that insistent could mean something important (death in the family, or similar big news).

Depends on the ex - did we end on good terms or not. There are some exes I will never have a reason to talk to again.

With my ex,  would be instantly blocked. I wouldn't even give him the satisfaction of a reply.

He is evil to put it nicely. My 4 older kids had him recently reach out after 12 yrs of no contact from him. The first thing he did was attack them for not bothering to say even hello all these years. They all blocked him. He only contacted them as he thought he was dying again. He had to get more/new stents in his heart for the second time. Even Hell does not want him.

I'd have to suspend myself afterwards.

Pretty much similar scenario here. Unless it was some extremely exceptional scenario, I would just delete and never reply. They are ex's for a reason after all, lol.

My ex wouldn't contact me, I burn the bridge to the ground after a relationship ends

[Prizm123 1,084]

depends on the ex. most of them i wouldnt bother answering or i would new phone who dis? them

 

i know it wouldnt be my ex wife, and frankly she would be the only one i would even talk to

[Carpe Vinum 2,311]

My ex is the mother of my four adult sons. I have more history with her than any other person on the planet--mostly good. She would only contact me if something important came up. I'd always take that call. As far as other relationships go? Probably not.

I wish I could but we have two teenage kids (that I have full custody over) to deal with. She only calls to talk to them a couple times a month and only gets them maybe once every month. She has paid almost nothing towards them in the 7 years that I have had custody of them, not one damn cent.

When mine were younger I would have answered. He never really talked to them when called and would only call if he knew they were at school. (that was when we still lived in Canada). My ex hasn't paid a cent either and managed to take over the kids trusts funds too.
