The romantic ex tries winning you back through tasty messages, money, flowers, gifts, and even people (mostly friends and family) who could talk to you and change your mind. They believe you are soulmates meant to be together forever. They might cease disturbing you with their undying love after you continuously ignore their efforts, but even years later when they are happily married, they might still communicate their love for you that was, apparently, never extinguished, saying they wish it were you they married.

The ex who doesn’t care, well, doesn’t care. They will not respond to your texts or calls no matter what. Your “Hey, I just thought I should check on you blah, blah, blah…” messages will be ignored. Your seasonal Merry Christmas or Happy Easter messages will be ignored. Your unasked good news or bad news will be given “blue ticks”. They don’t hate you, they just sincerely don’t care about what you have to say, do, or what is happening in your life.

The cordial ex is easy and laid back. You probably left each other in good terms or they have completely forgiven the failures of the ended relationship. They are kind, respectful and friendly. Their communication with you is brief and clean. But don’t mistake their friendliness for wanting you back. If anything, this one has already found happiness in a new lover who treats them way better than you ever did. They have completely moved on from you and, even though have remained an amiable friend, would never dream of dating you again.

The harsh ex still hates you. They are still angry with you. They are still nursing a broken heart. They still hold everything against you. What you did to them is still freshly replaying in their mind each day. Any communication to them is met with insults and long, harsh paragraphs detailing the emotional turmoil you put them through. After all they did for you, how dare you! How could you! It’s likely that they have blocked you on all their online accounts but may unblock you from time to time to check if you’re doing badly.

The unsure ex has an on-and-off relationship with you. You are exes but you’re also still dating. You’re not together but you’re also still together. You don’t want each other but you’re also having each other. You've deleted each other’s numbers but you’re also calling each other. The relationship ended but it’s also still ongoing. You don’t want to keep playing these games but you’re also still playing them.

The ghost ex disappeared from the face of the earth and changed their contact and address. You have never seen or heard from them since you ended things. You know they are out there somewhere, but obviously outside your reach. Occasionally, you wonder what ever happened to them. You wonder how they could be doing. You wonder if they are still alive.

The fast ex wastes no time after a break-up. You will see them with their new boo two days later looking happy and madly in love while you’re still in Heartbreak ICU fighting for your life. Not surprisingly, their relationships are often many and short-lived.

In the mutual silence ex situation, both parties are not in communication. Neither bothers the other, neither cares for the other, neither thinks of the other, neither wants the other, each one has moved on and is pambanaing na hali yake kivyake. They might acknowledge each other with a friendly nod when they bump into each other but no discussions will happen. That boat sailed and neither of them is interested anymore, even in being just friends.

The psychotic ex cannot take the separation. This one will manipulate you into staying in the broken relationship by threatening to harm themselves, you, or a loved one, if you do not take them back. They use guilt and fear to keep you chained to the relationship. They will sabotage your every effort to move on and might interfere with any romantic connections you make. They can’t stand you being happy (without them). They feel miserable and want you to be just as miserable. They will use what they can, even your children, to access you and violate every boundary you instill. They will stalk you and malign your name, and make themselves seem like a helpless victim of your supposed “abuse”. They will “punish” you for loving yourself enough to leave them, and may use every sick trick in their book, including your children, to steal your peace and make you suffer. If you’re dealing with this kind of person, I hope you finnally find your way out of them.
