I've just put myself in the shoe of the one who's being called or texted.
What would I tell him?
Would I just pretend like nothing is wrong or go ahead and say what I feel might actually be his issue?
Without being vindictive like andromi da says nor judgemental?

After the conversation, what would be my thoughts towards him?
Would I laugh him off as someone who doesn't know his left from his right or would I give him grace as someone who is still trying to find his way?

Is there a possibility that he might not be suffering from inferiority issue as I might think?
Maybe he knows that even after he messed things up or I messed things up, he still thinks of me as a soul he could confide in.

^^^Never mind those thoughts up there.
Very deep thoughts of mine.
Andromida got me thinking in those lines.


Even though I strongly think that it's never a good thing to do, I don't consider my opinion an absolute.
There just might be exceptions.

Am not sure it's advisable to do that esp wen Ex wants you to change from the person you are to some1 you are not.

The best way is just be yurself and give your best in your rlnship....some1 is made for you that will accept yur flaws...cos if yu want to. work on it yu ll tend to pretend...anybdy dt has left yu is nt part of your future just let dem Waka pass...

HisSexcellency: From the content of your write up, i believe you're strongly contemplating on doing so or already did and now not sure if you did the right thing. To my asking an Ex about your flaws is a flaw itself. It's a sign of inadequacy and inferiority complex
i see you bro!

MizMyColi: By vindictive Ma'am, how do you mean?

Some ex's have grievances maybe they still blame you for some things, some ex's are pure meanies if you make the mistake of asking them they'll tear you down just to see you hurt.

Apparently, they still keep in touch, and they are still probably in good terms. It shouldn't be a problem if he/she decides to ask the ex for whatever noticeable character flaw he/she must have had or still has while both were still an item.

As a matter of fact, I think it's one good way to better one self as an ex must have been in a better position to appraise one's character.
Re: Asking An "Ex" About Your Flaws, Is It Ever Okay? by Nobody: 3:38pm On Sep 19, 2014
Yes it is , its just like asking a recruiter after a failed interview where you got it wrong. it helps you build on those weaknesses.

i don't even need her to tell me flaws, if i refuse to buy her brazilian her, she'll take it as my flaw!
Re: Asking An "Ex" About Your Flaws, Is It Ever Okay? by freecocoa(f): 3:41pm On Sep 19, 2014
It's no big deal, I ask people close to me, so I guess before he became an ex, I must have asked him.

I concur !

One thing I know is, Most Men won't ask but Ladies most times will. It depends on who ended the r/ship and how the dumpee feels abt the dumping process. For me, it makes no sense asking cos most reasons are unrealistic nor justifiable.
Re: Asking An "Ex" About Your Flaws, Is It Ever Okay? by adexsimply(m): 3:49pm On Sep 19, 2014
Ex or no Ex, I don't believe in asking for people's opinions on my flaws or faults. If there's any attitude of mine you don't like, then say it to my face or go to hell! You will be amazed at what some folks count as "flaws"; can you imagine someone telling you they dislike you because you're self-confident?
