relationships are horrible. breakups are even worse. being an ex is one of the worst things you can possibly be.

but it always helps to know which kind you are. i can help you with that.

note: this quiz will only apply if you are broken up. don't take it if you're dating someone and then write me an email yelling about how you're not broken up. really. don't be a turd.

*thanks to sister todd for the idea for the quiz and for some of the questions

first, what were the terms of your breakup?

I cheated and then broke off my relationship.
it was sort of mutual but what is also sort of mutual is that we miss each other a lot.
i got cheated on and then i got dumped.
it was clean. we said goodbye and haven't spoken since.
we didn't really talk about it much. we still hang out a lot.
i got dumped but i'm working on fixing that. i'll do anything.
breakup? what breakup? what?



how was your relationship?

eh, it was ok. i get bored in relationships though.
good, but we fought a lot
beautiful and wonderful and i'm brokenhearted at being betrayed.
fairly casual
truthfully, it was a lot like our postbreakup relationship
the best thing that ever happened to me and i'm getting it back, i promise
"was?"


how do you interact with your ex?

i'll IM or email or call every so often, just to make sure he/she is still pining away for me.
we see each other, occasionally slip back into kissing, and fight on the phone
when he/she IMs or emails me, it makes my life worth living
i don't
we hang out almost as much as we did while we were dating
i search for him/her on google every day and read every webpage relevant to his/her life, i cut old pictures out of yearbooks and drool on them, and i have a shrine to which i pray
hm. i think he/she has been busy lately and hasn't had time to call....?


your ex:

pathetic! will never get over me! is always waiting in the wings, just in case i get desperate enough.
is an okay person, but we had enough differences to warrant a breakup
aside from the pain he/she caused me, is a beautiful person
is gone forever, and that is fine.
is my best friend
is my god, and he/she will come back to me so i can resume my worship
might not be an "ex." we never formally broke up, i think.


how do you feel about dating other people?

great. i'm doing it now
i'll be ready for it eventually, but maybe not yet.
i can't help but compare other people to my ex
fine with me
i'm definitely not ready for that, nor do i want to be
won't ever happen.
i'd like to make sure i'm broken up for sure, first



how do you feel about your ex dating other people?

okay i guess, but i kind of like how he/she will never get over me.
it makes me feel a little weird
breaks my heart, but i expect it.
i don't care
i don't think it will happen soon, and i don't think my ex wants to
i'll kill them. it better not happen.
it could be happening now, but we have an open relationship anyway, i think...


would you buy your ex a birthday present?

no
yes
I really don't know



were you in love with your ex?

i don't know...maybe.
yes, but i don't know if i am anymore
yes, and i still am
nah
yes, and i always will be.
