Would you not date someone if they had a crazy ex?

[Gabe7]

If you liked someone and they liked you would you avoid dating them if they had a crazy ex?

 

[K9_Trainer]

I don't really care who their ex's are or what they're like.

The only time an ex would be an issue, crazy or not, is if she keeps interfering and he can't (or won't) put his foot down. She can be as crazy as she wants to be. If he's done with her then its not a problem.

Only if I found out that they weren't crazy before they were an "ex".

I had a roommate who taught me this lesson, unwittingly.

this. there's a real problem if he allows her to keep interfering in his life.

I would go and get my gun...

Crazy ex-wife, or someone who had a legal route to harass them for the next 60 years? Probably not.

Crazy ex-g/f? If they'd left her behind and shut off every avenue for her to harass them, I'd probably be OK with them. If they engaged in drama with her, fought or argued with her, then no. They're not "over" their ex if they're still doing that, and it's just plain immature and stupid. An ex is an ex. Move on.

Nah. Nothing that a .45 can't handle.

I'd only avoid him if he and his crazy ex had kids together. Unless she had given up her parental rights or otherwise had them terminated and had no contact with the kids. Otherwise, that's too much drama for me.

Crazy ex from the girl's hometown (preferably a few states away), and has no way of getting to New York to interfere in her life/creep/stalk: Why not?
Crazy ex from here in New York/her job/our church: Probably not.

 

[explodingboy]

I'm not sure who in my last relationship is now the crazy ex, as she hands down wins for things that happened during, but I would be very suprised if she ever thinks of me as much as I think of her these days.

 

[mjmcmillan]

I have a crazy ex. Ex-wife, to make it worse. We didn't have kids together and I've had to cut her out of my life (too much crazy) but the fact remains that she does exist. Yes, it has interfered with any thoughts of dating again. Somehow I suspect she'd try to get into it, and nobody should have to go through that much drama.

Side note, for the person on here suggesting a gun: Nada. I like my freedom and I like being able to look at my face in the mirror. Further, I've read enough to know if anything happened to her to cause her untimely demise I'd be numero uno on the list of suspects--- at least until the police found another, more likely culprit. So, I keep my distance and don't communicate with her.

Crazy is as crazy does. If the ex bf your talking about tears up houses and she's a model. Don't know what kind nor care I'm not getting into it. Thats being a man. Not showing that oh I can beat the crap out of you. Like who really cares. Someone will come along that fit's me a whole bunch better. Not dealing with the drama!

 

[dabro]

No hard feelings tho.

 

[Miss Spaulding]

If you liked someone and they liked you would you avoid dating them if they had a crazy ex?

No. Why would I purposely make my life harder?

Probably not.

 

[Im_A]

Define crazy...

 

[Reanimation]

As long as that person wasn't in contact with their ex, I'd be fine with it.

 

[Niffer]

Lol!
I had a crazy ex - and to top it off, this guy was also my (now) husbands best friend!

I dated crazy guy for a year, ended the relationship because he has serious anger issues. During this time Remi (dh) and Ex were tight.
Remi moved away for a few years, we started dating long-distance.

Ex suddenly has "issues" with this - (though the relationship ended 2 yrs previously and had no close contact with Remi since he moved) - and suddenly there were rumours flying around church that I had cheated on him, and Remi was stealing me...

Example: Crazy ex showed up at Remi's house, Christmas eve, at 11:00pm, to tell us that he had an issue with our "relationship."
....6 hours later Remi proposed to me..so clearly Crazy ex didn't influence too much.

Still though...crazy. :S

If he was a violent crazy X, most likely not.

I'm not above using my firearm, but I'd prefer not to. So I'd probably just avoid walking in to that kinda drama.
