    Nope. Mine couldn't have given one while we were dating. He was too self-absorbed to ever learn who I really was. Enough things have changed and enough time has passed that if he gave my eulogy (which I doubt he would consent to do if asked), he'd botch it horribly.

    Most definitely not. I don't think she even knew where I lived. :D

    I think ex's always keep track of their ex's in one way or another and social media makes it so easy....UNLESS it was a baaaaaaaaaaaaaad break up.

    I keep track of him in the sense that I know he's still living in the city he moved to. I couldn't care less if he's dating anyone or happy or miserable or any of that, I just don't want to be taken by surprise if he moves back here and I start running into him. I think I'd have a hard time being polite.

    She wouldn't care enough.

    Same here.

    Frankly, I would be surprised if she remembered my middle name or my birthday.

    Truth is, I don't remember her birthday.

    Honestly, mine probably would. We don't know each other anymore really, but he seems to drop in here and there. Especially when he's drunk to apologize for something he did when we were together. But it would be an inaccurate eulogy bc we aren't close anymore and I've changed. BUT he's got more charisma than anyone I know and has no problem being center of attention, hell, if he went I'd probably have a much better turn out in general. I'm a bit of a mystery and I do think he probably knows me best even if it is a different version of me.

    Hmmm. Well, she would make the funeral very interesting since I never introduced her to my family (only female I ever actually dated). She's very artist and creative though, she could totally pull it off.

    My friend is so bitter over her last break up, I would hope she never had a platform to talk about her ex. She even went to the extent of having t shirts printed about him and blasted him on that website for cheaters.

    Do you think she could pull it off without letting the cat out of the bag?

    We just all hate each other equally... Why is the question what did I do.... and not what did they do... ?

    You are right...I assumed. And I assumed because it was TWO women that shared the same thing...lol. I won't dare say 80% of the time it's the man's fault, like some of my female counterparts think. I won't dare say that.

    Just kidding.

    Cher did Sonny Bono's and they had been divorced for over 20 years. Her eulogy for him was lovely.

    bahahahah sure why not! They would be uncomfortable but that't because my family does not like him lol but he would only be nice because he knows better.

    He probably hates me as much as I do him.

    I guess so. That was almost 20 years ago, so not sure how relevant and timely his comments would be. He would be kind - he's a kind person - but it would be so awkward. That's just weird. I vote no. :/
    I'd rather have my husband <3 do it than some old, irrelevant boyfriend from my youth.

    No. I haven't had an ex for over 20 years so who I was then is not even who I am now. It wouldn't be relevant really.
