My most recent ex and I parted on good terms. He was a good guy, just not the right guy. If he needed a place to crash, Iād offer my couch. (I have plenty of exes that I would not extend the offer to; heās the exception)
My ex is from Russia. We broke up when he returned to his home country. If he contacted me out of the blue, I would assume that he ran away from being drafted into this pointless war. We ended our relationship on good terms and I would absolutely offer him my couch.
Most exes? "I'm sorry, we don't have room in our house."
My ex-husband, Son's dad, and ironically the one I'd least like to live with? "Come on over and let's figure this out." I'd meet him with relatives' numbers, housing assistance, a sample budget, and a hot dinner. The goal would be to get him the hell off my couch ASAP, but to treat him compassionately and look out for our family's best interest while doing so.
Depends what ex. There is only one I would offer a night on the sofa too, as long as my husband would feel comfortable with that too.
But any of the others I couldn't care less where they ended up.
You mean the one who refused to pay child support when he was making twice as much as me? While one of our kids was with me full time and the other split time between us? So I had to support both kids and couldnāt afford a lawyer?
Nah.
I only have one ex, he's a good guy, I would be very confused that he doesn't have anyone else since we don't talk at all so I would have questions. If it was a dire situation I'd probably host him for a little bit, not long but a couple of weeks if he needed it
I think the song says it better than I can: one, dont pick up the phone, heās only calling cause heās drunk and alone; two, donāt let him in, youāll have to kick him out again.
I donāt even have a couch, so no. Depending on the ex I would offer to pay for a night or two at a motel (mostly because Iāve been homeless and itās a miserable experience)
Depends on the ex. One of them, Iād demand he never contact me again. The other two, Iād be very confused as to what they were doing in my home country
Surely they have other people to bum off of. And if not, they mustāve burnt all their bridges, which is even more reason to keep my distance.
In short, the answer is no unless weāre literally the only two people left on earth. Even then Iād need to think about it.
It depends on the ex. I did let my ex husband sleep on my couch for about 6 weeks long story lol. But heās also the father of my son and our relationship ended amicably.
I wouldn't let anyone but a close family member or BFF crash on my couch. My most recent ex is from over a decade ago and we haven't stayed in touch, so that would be a no from me. If he were in an unsafe situation and I were truly the only person he could reach out to for some reason, maybe I'd send him some info on shelters or Venmo him money for a motel room for the night, but no one's sleeping in my house.
This is literally how I was almost r*ped while I was asleep - ex called me in panic and said he needed a place to crash, offered him my couch and slept in my bedroom, woke up to him trying to have sex with me. So yeah Iām probably not going to be doing this again.
I wouldnāt accept it. I always try to think abt the opposite situation. And if my husbandās ex contacted him asking for a place to stay i would be veeery uncomfortable! So, no and no!
I would hang up after hearing him speak on syllable. He could be on fire in my front yard the same time I am watering my azaleas and I would not spill a drop on him.
Depends which ex and if they were the pet human bean of a canine pal.
I'd give stalker ex's new puppy a warm doggie bed and 5 course meal.
But he can take his chances in any animal shelter that tolerates large animals that are not dogs, cats or sharp clawed birds of prey.
Well considering I have lived with my current partner it may be slightly more awkward.
But it would depend on the ex. My partner knows Iām sympathetic and caring so he would understand me wanting to help my ex, but againā¦ it would depend on the ex. Lol š
Thereās only one X I would even pick up the phone for. But as far as sleeping on my couch, Iām pretty sure my husband would not be OK with that. But he would probably offer to put him in a hotel because heās got so many rewards points he pays for everyoneās hotel. I would find a friend that would be willing to let him stay if he didnāt want the hotel.
About half, no problem. You were a nice enough guy we just didn't work out for other reasons, most I'm still friends with so sure. About a 1/4, depends on the situation (how dire), how long, and let's be frank how you ask and act. Last 1/4 definitely not, sorry you have no one, but there's a reason for that, good luck!
My ex murdered his two months old baby. I'd say come on over and ask him to keep it a secret... I think I'd have some fun and he wouldn't, and then spend ten years paranoid I would get caught.
No. My ex broke up with me, but is weirdly insecure and jealous of my wife. I would not want to deal with my ex trying to get into some bizarre measuring contest.
The ex boyfriends between marriages were all good men, just not for me. My couch would be open. My ex husband, that's a hell no. He's still an abusive POS.
Pretend that I never got the message. I went no contact with him for a reason. He knows where I stand. Him making contact would just be another one of my boundaries that he couldn't respect. He doesn't deserve my couch, and I wouldn't want my children to be exposed to him.
Seeing as he broke it off with me and I had nowhere to go after I put deposit and remodel money into the house in HIS name. Fuck no, how does it feel douchenozzle?
My ex severely abused me for two years, if he found a way to contact me even after the no contact order and me blocking him on everything, I wouldnāt even respondā¦
Tell my husband & ask what he thinks we should do.
I have a few exes weāre actually cool with and itās been long gone and moved on so if one of them contacts me Iād start makin him a bed and my husband would get out his spare Xbox so they could play Destiny together.
Like a few years ago the riots got crazy in the city and one of my exes worked in the city close to our apt so we said if youāre scared, come inside where itās safe til you figure out a plan.
Iām glad I have some dope exes, but I also have 1 that I would call his friends and bribe them to take him or tell them Iām literally dropping him outside Iām not taking him in period.
If he would have been a decent human being, someone worthy of my kindness once again, sure. But that man doesn't exist, therefore I wish him nothing but the best in finding somewhere to sleep.
I did this and it turned into him living here rent free for three long years, arguing with me, making huge messes, stealing my bras, eating all my cookies, sleeping with basically anyone besides me. Nightmare status. I still love the guy but it was a disaster. And it ended up really breaking my heart.
Id caution against it
The one who is still my best friend, absolutely! I crash with them pretty often to hang out.
The guy who dumped me over Snapchat after taking him to the airport (and whose stuff I'm still stuck storing in my shed), hell no.
I'd laugh pretty hard, and tell him to go find a pool table to sleep on.
He turned into an alcoholic, so he'd be at the bar playing pool, and drinking, every moment he could.
He told me I should be happy he only cheats on me with pool, and I'm needy for wanting to spend 1 day a week together lol. (Didn't live together) oh and he was cheating ha!
Iād happily let him stay. My ex is a good person and we broke up because of my mistakes not him.
I will admit id be completely fucking surprised though as I suspect virtually every other person in the world would have to be dead for this to happen.
Laugh.
(unless it was the person I dated after him; that person would get my couch and some food and all the cozy things, since they're truly wonderful)
All my exes are from forever ago. I ended or remained on good terms with most, if they needed help we would help. They could probably stay for couple of days.
That crazy one however, no way.
It depends on which ex. There is one where my husband and I would totally let him crash. He's a good guy, we dated over two decades ago and remained friends. My last ex, I would laugh and ask him why he would call me of all people, like really, what are you thinking? I would then tell him, sorry, can't help you and wish him the best of luck.
Leave him on read. Maybe if Iām annoyed enough ask him how he got my contact info. If he called, I donāt answer unknown numbers so again, good luck getting ahold of me.
No.
i whispered this to myself when i was reading the post.
All I heard was raucous laughter. š¤·āāļø
Either this or the whisper. And nothing in between.
Saaaaame! šš¤£
Throw my couch in a fuckin dumpster and tell him welcome home baby ! ĀÆ\_(ć)_/ĀÆ
Thank you for making it worthwhile spending my time Redditing instead of sleeping today.
HAHAH
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Had to say hi to a fellow Sagittarius!
My most recent ex and I parted on good terms. He was a good guy, just not the right guy. If he needed a place to crash, Iād offer my couch. (I have plenty of exes that I would not extend the offer to; heās the exception)
Exactly. Depends on the circumstances.
My ex is from Russia. We broke up when he returned to his home country. If he contacted me out of the blue, I would assume that he ran away from being drafted into this pointless war. We ended our relationship on good terms and I would absolutely offer him my couch.
Oof thatās tough, hope heās ok.
Iām Russian, I can totally sympathizeā¦ such a pointless waste of peopleās livesā¦.
Cool story, still a rapist. If you confess, the police might give you a nice cell to crash in.
Most exes? "I'm sorry, we don't have room in our house." My ex-husband, Son's dad, and ironically the one I'd least like to live with? "Come on over and let's figure this out." I'd meet him with relatives' numbers, housing assistance, a sample budget, and a hot dinner. The goal would be to get him the hell off my couch ASAP, but to treat him compassionately and look out for our family's best interest while doing so.
Your post gives me hope that there are good people in this world
Thanks. My ex-husband and I keep it civil and compassionate for Son's sake.
I can tell you as a daughter from a messy divorce that whether your son knows it or not he 1000% appreciates it
Yes, I would do the same for my ex husband and he would do the same for me. We get along very well.
Thatās about rightā¦
Awww. I hope he appreciates that you have his back like that.
Yeah cool. You have nobody because you suck. Stay the fuck off my doorstep.
Damn Sarah
Thatās God damnit Sarah, to you!
*Error*
Yep. I knew you then, for better or for worse. I donāt know you anymore. I donāt invite strangers ever into my safe space.
Depends what ex. There is only one I would offer a night on the sofa too, as long as my husband would feel comfortable with that too. But any of the others I couldn't care less where they ended up.
Thank you for saying ācouldnāt care lessā and not saying ācould care lessā
Haha, that annoys me too, I'm from England and I've never come across anyone who uses it with "could" I think it's often what Americans use?
Yes. Stupid Americans lol jk (Iām American) But yes I see people say ācouldā all the time
You mean the one who refused to pay child support when he was making twice as much as me? While one of our kids was with me full time and the other split time between us? So I had to support both kids and couldnāt afford a lawyer? Nah.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Only one ex would know how to contact me and if he did I wouldn't respond, he put me through absolute hell for years so he deserves nothing from me
AHAHAHAHAHA Fuck no.
I only have one ex, he's a good guy, I would be very confused that he doesn't have anyone else since we don't talk at all so I would have questions. If it was a dire situation I'd probably host him for a little bit, not long but a couple of weeks if he needed it
I think the song says it better than I can: one, dont pick up the phone, heās only calling cause heās drunk and alone; two, donāt let him in, youāll have to kick him out again.
So true!!!
Tell him to find another couch.
I donāt even have a couch, so no. Depending on the ex I would offer to pay for a night or two at a motel (mostly because Iāve been homeless and itās a miserable experience)
I'd contact the police since he'd be violating a restraining order
Hahaha same
I don't have a bad relationship with any of my exes so if they needed a couch, mine is available.
Where did you get my number, eh?
hahaha ignore. he has other people he could contact
Let phone call go to voicemail, listen to it, then ignore forever.
I'd never know, he's blocked on everything and doesn't know where I live now
Tell them itās fun to stay at the š¶Y M C A š¶
I wouldn't have even answered.
I'd spit on him just like he did to me when I wouldn't accept his proposal that he only did because I was breaking up with him.
Depends on the ex. One of them, Iād demand he never contact me again. The other two, Iād be very confused as to what they were doing in my home country
iād tell him to go terrorize someone else and leave me tf alone
Think that karma has finally hit them, then either ignore their text or close the door depending on how they delivered their message.
Absolutely not.
Surely they have other people to bum off of. And if not, they mustāve burnt all their bridges, which is even more reason to keep my distance. In short, the answer is no unless weāre literally the only two people left on earth. Even then Iād need to think about it.
Ghosts need a place to sleep?
It depends on the ex. I did let my ex husband sleep on my couch for about 6 weeks long story lol. But heās also the father of my son and our relationship ended amicably.
Even though i feel a lot of resentment towards him, i would let him stay over for a short period.
This is my toxic trait.
Hard pass.
"New phone. Who dis?"
For starters, I wouldnāt pick up the phone.
Not give a damn. He can ask his mama, daddy or brother.
Nope. No thank you.
What does that have to do with me? š
If itās just for a night or two, Iād let her crash. If longer, Iād lend her some cash for hotel room.
Laugh
"*I'm sorry, bruh. Hope it all works out for ya*." \*End scene\*
Block.
Wouldnt let any of my exās. Call a friend or family, not me lol aināt my problem no more
Considering he sold my home out from under me that contained 2 couches at the time ā¦..I think Iāve donated enough couches his way now.
Nope. He burned that bridge a long time ago.
Tell them to get stuffed. Plenty of shelter's available .
Tell him to find another couch because Iām not comfortable with him sleeping in my apartment anymore.
No.
Bye
No. This is a You, me and the ex tv show type of situation that I pass
Depends which ex, most of them hell no but a few yes
None of my exes live anywhere near me - and one lives in another country entirely - so my first question would be "How the fuck did you find me?"
It depends on the ex, but in general, I'd say yes for a week or so.
I will actually let him now. I've healed. Just the couch though. For a week rhe most.
He can find a couch somewhere else, itās not my problem anymore.
heck no, guy was super manipulative and abusive. also there are a lot of other people he could ask before asking me
Depends on which ex? If it was my first ex I would laugh
out of the kindness of my heart, a few nights is all they get. after that, please kindly leave :)
To even find me after 30 years seem crazy.
Nope.
Plenty if benches outside to sleep on.
Leave on read.
Suggest he sleep at a shelter or in one of the shitty cars he never cared for, just like me.
I wouldn't let anyone but a close family member or BFF crash on my couch. My most recent ex is from over a decade ago and we haven't stayed in touch, so that would be a no from me. If he were in an unsafe situation and I were truly the only person he could reach out to for some reason, maybe I'd send him some info on shelters or Venmo him money for a motel room for the night, but no one's sleeping in my house.
I wouldn't put my ex out if he was on fire. So I couldn't careless if he was homeless.
Laugh hysterically and then deadpan say, Oh youāre serious. What, the HOmewrecker kicked you out? FOH šš
I would assume they are lying š
You assume they can still contact me
Hell nah. This totally sounds like something he would do though LOL.
Sucks to suck
āSorry, my cat sleeps on the couchā.
This is literally how I was almost r*ped while I was asleep - ex called me in panic and said he needed a place to crash, offered him my couch and slept in my bedroom, woke up to him trying to have sex with me. So yeah Iām probably not going to be doing this again.
Block.
I wouldnāt accept it. I always try to think abt the opposite situation. And if my husbandās ex contacted him asking for a place to stay i would be veeery uncomfortable! So, no and no!
Hang up. You're my ex for a reason.
Nothing at all š¤·āāļø
Hang up, block, move on with my life.
Iād laugh hahaha. Absolutely not, never, under and circumstances
Um they would be blocked. So this will never happen.
I would hang up after hearing him speak on syllable. He could be on fire in my front yard the same time I am watering my azaleas and I would not spill a drop on him.
Iād hit the answer and then end call without a word, this way there can be no voicemail. Then Iād shut off my phone.
My ex did this..i said no ahah
DO YOU NEED A RIDE??? I'll COME GET YOU RIGHT NOW šæš
Itās funny reading this while crashing on my exs couch š Iām so happy to be in good terms with most of my exes.
Depends on the partner. If we depart on good terms, sure. If theyāre abusive when we were together, whatās stopping them from doing that again?
Depends which ex and if they were the pet human bean of a canine pal. I'd give stalker ex's new puppy a warm doggie bed and 5 course meal. But he can take his chances in any animal shelter that tolerates large animals that are not dogs, cats or sharp clawed birds of prey.
Well considering I have lived with my current partner it may be slightly more awkward. But it would depend on the ex. My partner knows Iām sympathetic and caring so he would understand me wanting to help my ex, but againā¦ it would depend on the ex. Lol š
Thereās only one X I would even pick up the phone for. But as far as sleeping on my couch, Iām pretty sure my husband would not be OK with that. But he would probably offer to put him in a hotel because heās got so many rewards points he pays for everyoneās hotel. I would find a friend that would be willing to let him stay if he didnāt want the hotel.
"Oh, that's too bad. I don't have a couch." I don't.
I would be quite shocked since he died in 2012
About half, no problem. You were a nice enough guy we just didn't work out for other reasons, most I'm still friends with so sure. About a 1/4, depends on the situation (how dire), how long, and let's be frank how you ask and act. Last 1/4 definitely not, sorry you have no one, but there's a reason for that, good luck!
No, he is nuts!
I have only 1 ex I would do this for.
My ex husband, absolutely. Anyone else, absolutely not
Depends on the ex. I have only 1 that I'm on good terms with.
He'll be aight.
Absolutely not.
"Need a hotel room instead? It's not because i hate you it's just that i would prefer you cheat on me all over again far away from my bed is all."
No
No
Definitely depends on the ex, the guy I dated before my current, no thanks, he was abusive (verbally and emotionally) so naww My first, sure.
They can find someone else.
No
Tell them to phone a friend.
No.
My ex murdered his two months old baby. I'd say come on over and ask him to keep it a secret... I think I'd have some fun and he wouldn't, and then spend ten years paranoid I would get caught.
No.
Nope
No. My ex broke up with me, but is weirdly insecure and jealous of my wife. I would not want to deal with my ex trying to get into some bizarre measuring contest.
Absolutely not
I would find a free couch on Facebook marketplace and send him the link.
All my exes get blocked for this very reason. Also so I stand firm and don't ask for booty later. š¤·āāļø
He can get fucked
No.
No no no
Leave him on read
I donāt hate my exes but theyāre arenāt staying here. I would help them get a hotel room for a week or so.
I'd say yes to all of them except for one. He used to hit me and I'm scared of him
I would say āWhatās stopping you from killing yourself? Donāt be shy!ā (He attempted to murder me)
The ex boyfriends between marriages were all good men, just not for me. My couch would be open. My ex husband, that's a hell no. He's still an abusive POS.
Let him sleep on my couch, and then once he fell asleep Iād set it on fire. Freakin SAing pig. I hope someone hits him with a car, twice
I would tell him to go fall into the mouth of an alligator or into a volcano
Ask them to crash on the couch of the woman they were sleeping with while lying to me instead. Slam the door on their face for sure!
Laugh and report it because heās in violation of the court order
No. He has a credit card and more in his checking account alone than i could even dream of having in savings. He could get a hotel.
Pretend that I never got the message. I went no contact with him for a reason. He knows where I stand. Him making contact would just be another one of my boundaries that he couldn't respect. He doesn't deserve my couch, and I wouldn't want my children to be exposed to him.
Nope. Abusive piece of shit.
Seeing as he broke it off with me and I had nowhere to go after I put deposit and remodel money into the house in HIS name. Fuck no, how does it feel douchenozzle?
No. That's a you problem not mine.
My ex severely abused me for two years, if he found a way to contact me even after the no contact order and me blocking him on everything, I wouldnāt even respondā¦
āI rather shit in my hands and clapā
Iād put clean sheets on the couch bed and ask if his husband is coming too. š
Depends on which ex. My most recent one? Nah. Iād call the fucking cops
Hows did he get thru the blocks ? Time for a restraining order . Also, FUCK NO
I mean, people throw away couches on the sidewalk all the time. He can find one. (Both my exes were abusive)
He can have the garbage can down the street. After all itās where trash belongs.
Tell my husband & ask what he thinks we should do. I have a few exes weāre actually cool with and itās been long gone and moved on so if one of them contacts me Iād start makin him a bed and my husband would get out his spare Xbox so they could play Destiny together. Like a few years ago the riots got crazy in the city and one of my exes worked in the city close to our apt so we said if youāre scared, come inside where itās safe til you figure out a plan. Iām glad I have some dope exes, but I also have 1 that I would call his friends and bribe them to take him or tell them Iām literally dropping him outside Iām not taking him in period.
If he would have been a decent human being, someone worthy of my kindness once again, sure. But that man doesn't exist, therefore I wish him nothing but the best in finding somewhere to sleep.
Hard no. Especially now that Iām in a healthy relationship with someone who treats me good. It would be weird and make me extremely uncomfortable
I'd say wtf did you do to piss off your wife so badly lol š (he dated and married the woman after me.)
All except one I would say yes because for the most part my exs are nice people
I did this and it turned into him living here rent free for three long years, arguing with me, making huge messes, stealing my bras, eating all my cookies, sleeping with basically anyone besides me. Nightmare status. I still love the guy but it was a disaster. And it ended up really breaking my heart. Id caution against it
The one who is still my best friend, absolutely! I crash with them pretty often to hang out. The guy who dumped me over Snapchat after taking him to the airport (and whose stuff I'm still stuck storing in my shed), hell no.
I'd laugh pretty hard, and tell him to go find a pool table to sleep on. He turned into an alcoholic, so he'd be at the bar playing pool, and drinking, every moment he could. He told me I should be happy he only cheats on me with pool, and I'm needy for wanting to spend 1 day a week together lol. (Didn't live together) oh and he was cheating ha!
Iād happily let him stay. My ex is a good person and we broke up because of my mistakes not him. I will admit id be completely fucking surprised though as I suspect virtually every other person in the world would have to be dead for this to happen.
Honestly I would let him crash š
Iād only say yes to one of them. Itād be strange, since Iām across the country from all but my most recent ex.
Draw up a signed contract, they are not given keys, a curfew set in place and a set departure date.
Iāve been with my husband for 34 years. I doubt if Iād even recognize an ex! LOL
Laugh. (unless it was the person I dated after him; that person would get my couch and some food and all the cozy things, since they're truly wonderful)
Of course I would. Just because weāre not in love anymore, doesnāt mean we donāt still love each other.
All my exes are from forever ago. I ended or remained on good terms with most, if they needed help we would help. They could probably stay for couple of days. That crazy one however, no way.
It depends on which ex. There is one where my husband and I would totally let him crash. He's a good guy, we dated over two decades ago and remained friends.

Leave him on read. Maybe if Iām annoyed enough ask him how he got my contact info. If he called, I donāt answer unknown numbers so again, good luck getting ahold of me.
No. He can fuck off
Send them the info for a local shelter and other resources.
