ex girlfriend/boyfriend, ex lover?

Just reading some random stuff and realised that the only people who I have bagged/slept with/treetrunked that I am not on speaking terms with are the Aquapath who bashed and threatened to kill me and the Lying Freaking Gemini.

Everyone else is just fine and a couple are really close mates.

Is this normal? Or yet another example of how weird I am?

Out of the big relationships:

The Gemini- I would like to be friends, but he's still obsessed with our relationship, so he has to stay cut off

The Libra- Very good friends.

The Pisces- A very dear friend, even if I want to strangle him sometimes.

The Scorpio- I tried to be kind, but, damn, he's a horrible person. So....no.

One-night-standers are still friends.

no im not. i have tried but, they dont understand what just being friends means. they all tried to have sex with me still and i wasnt into that. if its over its over for me. no intimacy, can we hook up now and then..no. so i dont have any friends that are my exes.

i would like to have kept in touch with the sexy hot sag. but he decided to make the military (Marines) a full time career. so he is over in germany somewhere.

I will be honest, I wanted to make peace with the ex at some point, but truth is he doesn't deserve me acknowledging his presence on this earth anymore. So nah. Indifference it is.

If the relationship had been fair, with no abuse or cheating on his end, then I would be more than happy to turn the page and be on decent terms with him. However, in the end of the day Im still a Libra with a bloody Scorp moon.

Agreed.

Not with the ones who did me wrong. I may give them a chance, but if they screw it up, I'm out. Not worth keeping the jerk around.

Ones that act like decent human beings- sure. Though I think they qualify more as acquaintance than friend. A few that I've had couldn't do it though. They started acting weird and distant at some point.

Nope. I don't hate any of them but when it's over it's over. I'm cordial and might even make small talk if I run into some of them. But I don't keep in touch with any of my exes.

It would be interesting if the responses also included Sun Signs. I'm wondering if certain signs are more likely than others to maintain friendships with exes. (I'm an Aries).

Theoretically I suppose providing one or the other doesn't get jealous and try to sabotage the others new relationship or secretly keeps longing and hankering for the other. You know like the 'art imitating life' story 'My Bests Friends Wedding' and other similar romcoms which were made for a reason. I am not Gay but I had two older sisters and I use to watch some of the films they watched.

Who knows but it possibly takes a certain kind of maturity on both parts to allow it to take place and also a diplomatic tact as well.

Wait, you're basing the concept off of movies?

Just a couple....the ones where the relationship had real depth. the one night stands and casual relationships no. When a new relationship becomes serious i tone it back to infrequent emails or texts for well wishing. If there is a serious issue they want to confide in the door is open but i wont talk to an ex on a regular basis out of respect.

I'm a taurus.

I'm still friends or acquaintances with almost all of my exes.

There are two iffy ones:

My ex husband (scorpio). We have a pretty good relationship overall but I don't know that we would communicate much if it weren't for the fact that we have children together.

Most recent ex (aquarius). We were together for years and there are still feelings involved, which makes it complicated and seemingly impossible to be friends right now. I'm seeing someone else now and he has anger towards me about it and isn't treating me with the respect that he should. I had to cease communication for now. I love him dearly though and so I hope that at some point we can be friends.
