subject: Get Your Ex Back - What If Your Ex Girlfriend Talks About Other Guys With You? [print this page] This is one of those situations that you hope that you would never find yourself in, but plenty of guys do. When you try to still be friends with your ex girlfriend, one of the things that is going to probably come up is the fact that she is going to start to talk about other guys with you. That can lead to a very uncomfortable feeling. You don't want to hear about the guy at work she thinks is cute or the guy she met online that is now calling her several times per week. What do you do when you find yourself in the position of having to listen to your ex girlfriend talking about other guys and the only thing that you can think of is that you want your ex girlfriend back?
This is a perfect illustration of why it is so highly recommended that you DON'T try to be friends with your ex girlfriend. Yes, it is one of those ideas that sounds nice on the surface, and I am sure that you can come up with a ton of ways to rationalize why it is an okay thing to do, but the reality is much different. Being friends with your ex girlfriend means that you ARE going to end up hearing her talk about other guys.
The best thing that you can do when that starts to happen is to distance yourself from here. You need to have some clear boundaries or else you are probably going to end up getting stuck in the friend zone with your ex girlfriend and that can be incredibly hard to pull yourself out from. There are countless real life examples of guys who became friends with their ex girlfriend, not because they are just that cool of a guy, but because they were really trying to win her back and somewhere along the way they became her "bestie."
You don't want to be your ex girlfriend's BFF. She is not going to kiss her best guy friend with passion. She is not going to dream about being intimate with her best guy friend. She is going to end up dragging you to the mall to get your opinion on that sexy red dress that she wants to pick up for when she goes out with one of those new guys she keeps talking about. I doubt that you can stomach having to go through that, so do yourself a favor and take it as a sign that you need to distance yourself from your ex girlfriend if she starts to confide in you about OTHER guys.
