if you were to be like 'this guy makes me feel like shit, i hate him - abort contact immediately' I'd DO THAT (what a shitty friend I am). So far we haven't established any rules yet though, so i continue to be friends with your exes who I knew before you dated them - adam, matt, phil w., abdul, continuing to keep basic contact with them.
until we do, i seem to upset you. i can't do anything about that.
