There can be a lot of reusable material with an ex.
In the right situation – more specifically, when you are detached enough that he can’t hurt you—they can be very useful.
If you were with them for a long time and they know you better than most any other guy, then they can be great advice givers.
If you’re having a dry spell and still feeling some attraction, then they can allow for some great “tweener” romps.
And who can argue the use of your ex as a jealousy nudge to make sure that your current guy stays on his toes? So make good use of your discards.
Ex-recycling can actually be good for your environment, especially since you can always toss them out again.
