Think about your favorite ex-boyfriend, -girlfriend, -partner or -spouse. Why is he or she your favorite? Why is he or she your ex?

My favorite ex is my first ex.
She’s my ex because she couldn’t keep her pants zipped. Broke my heart into a bazillion pieces.
If I’d have had anything to say about it, she wouldn't be my ex.
Today, after years of pain and heartache, she’s my friend again. I don’t pine or wonder what might have been.
She, on the other hand, came back around to realize she made a mistake. She pines. She wonders.
I always thought I’d be the type to gloat if that ever happened. I don’t.
I have moved on. My life is good. And I like that she’s my friend.
S/he was honest, warm, deeply kind, incredibly smart, cute, great in bed, open, and totally hilarious. I can say some of those things about all my exes, but I can only say all of them about one.
S/he's my ex because s/he didn't want to be with me, and was honest enough to say so.
My favorite because s/he was with me for so long and we share so much. My ex because the struggle to stay together was killing us both.
my favorite ex was my very first offical ex from 8th grade. Because we were so young we managed to still be friends. We had a one night stand when we were in our early 20's to sort of finish up the unfinished business of having "never gone all the way with one another" that was fun and memorable. We were both inbetween relationships at the time that made it easier. To this day when we see each other its like we have a deep connection...(which other people see too which is funny.) He can make me feel like I am the only other person with him in a crowded room. I still know all of his issues and I suspect he knows mine-- even though I know we wont go there now that we are married to other people. He "gets me" the only way anyone who made out with me to "islands in the steam" and Def Leopard could. ps. he gave me loves baby soft cologne for christmas in 1985. gotta luv that.
my fav ex is the one who always put a smile on my face, built up my self-esteem from where it had been knocked down in another relationship, and who had a kink that nicely fit mine.
The ex is an ex because both our lives were too complicated, there were too many differences between us that would have been problems if we had tried to make it permanent, and both had commitments elsewhere.
Is there ever anything as wonderful as your first post-college girlfriend? A woman who finally takes you seriously, who you can take seriously, as you navigate the world of grown-ups. Mine opened my eyes to all sorts of new ideas and experiences and tastes (do you remember how much fun the '90s were?). She had a goofy sense of humor and smelled good and was fun in bed, too. Then the wonders of her personality inexplicably and irrevocably gave way to a glossy religious seriousness, as if she'd been brainwashed by her conservative parents at age 27. I tried to relate, I joined her at church a handful of times, but evangelical Christianity's not my cup of tea and, anyway, she was now unrecognizable as the free-spirited girl I'd fallen for a few years before.
I honestly can't say I have a favorite. Just a few people I was lucky to get to know at that level. They are all pretty great for their own reasons. I'm glad they are still in touch, for those that are, and happy...
My favorite ex was my highschool sweetheart. He was my favorite because he could do anything...I mean no feat too big or small. He's the person I'd want to be stuck on a desert island with. He was both the best and worst lover I ever had though and honestly we only did it twice so it's a wash. Why didn't it last...because he said he didn't want to bring me down. Hmmm. And we were way too young to be more than what we were. sigh
My favorite ex was never actually a boyfriend, but I did have the best sex EVER with him. Maybe 5 or 6 times over a few months? What would life be like if I could have that with the person I'm in love with and married to?
