This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at UPR chapter.

Unfortunately there has been a time when we have to go through the ex factor. The definition of the ex, by the dictionary of any human being goes by the following: a) the example of someone you will never date again.  And b)the one person you didn’t cherish, and you let go when you shouldn’t have. Let’s not talk about the latter, today we’re focusing on the former.  The problematic, self-centered, intriguing, and ridiculously confident, emotional roller-coaster ones. Our favorite kind of ex to date. It’s everyone’s fave at this point. We meet them, we know they’re bad news, and yet, we go for it anyway.

These are the chronicles of out favorite type of exes. We did our little research of the most interesting stories around campus. Enjoy:

  • I dated this guy not so long ago. We were good friends, but I always said the word date. Somehow, I kinda have to call him my ex now, because if I don’t, he’ll get offended. Oops. 
  • There was this guy who wouldn’t stop calling me to go out with him. How did he become my ex? I said yes so he’d stop bugging me. BIG MISTAKE. 
  • My internship boyfriend cheated on me on the internship. Is that even possible? 
  • I went on a date once, and he was talking about his ex conquest the entire evening/night. So much for a fun night. 
  • Open relationship; she feels guilty when she sleeps with other people. What??
  • I draw and paint a devastatingly cute picture of two cats on a miniature canvas of a picture she showed me that reminded her of us a couple of months prior. Breaks up a week later.
  • Once I dated a guy who had a girlfriend at the same time he dated me. We were seeing each other for 5 months, okay? 5 months! Is that even possible?
  • He cheated on me with his ex…predictable.
  • My ex-boyfriend dumped me because ‘this is not what he wanted’. He’s seeing other girls now.
  • So I dated this guy not so long ago…once he told me he was leaving for a couple days for a family trip.I later found out he was on vacation with hs girlfriend.
  • All the guys I date keep saying I’m too good for them…especially when they are breaking up with me. Guys, get your sh*t together.
  • The typical, you know? “I’m not ready for a relationship.”  Next thing I know he’s getting married.
  • Like 2 years ago, I used to talk to this guy.  He was funny, smart, and hot as hell. He told me he was into me but he had a girlfriend.  He broke up with her and instead of giving me a chance he started seeing other girls…he keeps saying he likes me.”
  • My ex used to text me that he missed me, that he wanted to get back…he’s having a baby with a random girl.
  • This guy I dated, disappeared one day. He just stop texting without reason, next thing I know he texts me: ‘Sorry that I went M.I.A, had some personal stuff I needed to get straight’. I asked around and he was seeing other girl.  When she went psycho he came back to me.

 

But let’s not be mad about it. We were all that way at one point, and we are truly sorry.  Don’t encourage it, though. (equality and peace, anyone?) Who I am hates who I’ve been, remember?

So take your time little one, you’re still learning. In the meanwhile, let’s still date Mr./Mrs. Wrong/Douche/Control Freak. They’ll make great stories to tell our soulmate.
