Do you keep your ex’s number in your phone? Why or why not?

So I know not to answer

My late husband’s number is still in my phone, he died 5 years ago. It’s probably not even his number anymore. I just can’t.

Exes. Lol. Cellphones didn’t even exist that long ago.

Yes, only because I don’t like to lose connections. You never know when you might have to contact someone specific. But I’ve never needed to get ahold of him. And I certainly didn’t keep his number for anything sentimental or out of hope.

No, I deleted his number after I broke up with him. We got the closure we needed and there’s nothing further we need to discuss. I didn’t want any temptation to reach out to him or go back on my decision that I knew was best.

No. He’s a piece of shit and I want nothing to do with him.

Just the one ex, but it’s because we have a kiddo together and we have a really awesome give & take when it comes to when he’s at whose house.

Weird thing though. It’s been long enough that the person on the other end texting me isn’t my ex, it’s like… he’s a good natured acquaintances who sends me memes and we have a laugh together? And we have good banter and talk about our mutual kid.

I don’t connect him at ALL to my ex. In real life though, I don’t recognize him, he’s a total stranger.

Nope! The past is the past and I like to leave it there

I deleted it in a fit of rage after going no contact. I kinda regret it now. We never got closure.

Nah- that was like 5 phones ago( one of those phones was a side kick) another life, another world. I can’t even remember his last name. He looked like Tony Hawk tho. I met my future husband a few months later after my ex broke up over the phone.

1. Yes.
2. Idk. I don’t really think about it. I guess it’s good to have for identification purposes, if they ever call me out of the blue. Idk why they would, but I’d rather know who’s calling if given the choice.
