This week, the Cherry Bomb ladies talk about the relationship after the break-up. Do you stay friends with your exes after the relationship is over? Do you want them to be happy or miserable without you? Do you come back for support, movie dates, or sex? There's rarely a clean break with lesbians (or anyone for that matter.)
And on this week's question, what to do when you're friends with all your exes and your girlfriend isn't happy about it. Cherry Bomb: "The Ex-Factor" If you have questions you'd like addressed on Cherry Bomb, email them to cherrybombtv@yahoo.com.

The Saboteur
The round robin affect and how I hate it.Everyone has dated everyone else.No matter who you date you always run into their ex who feels the need to tell you about HER has all the makings for lots of drama imo. That's why importing is so important to bring in fresh blood so you get to find out about her yourself at your own pace.
Beware of the ex who is the saboteur.She does any and everything to weazle her way into the relationship.What's bad is the ex's cleaver skeems go completely unnoticed by your girlfriend who sees them as the ex just being "nice". All the calls for help with this and that.She needs a ride here and there and something at her place always needs your girlfriend's special attention.Like she can't look through the yellow pages for a damn plumber.
Next thing you know your girl friend didn't meet you for your date ,because she "accidentally" fell asleep at the ex's house, because she was over there knitting booties.Ack!
If it doesn't feel right then something is wrong.Set boundaries from the get go with all ex's.

Exes and drama
I loved hearing what you ladies thought about being friends with your Exes.
I keep in contact with some of mine, but others I avoid like the plague. I think it is all good, as long as it doesn't create extra drama.
Gloria, you scare me a little bit.

why must lesbians stay
I was NEVER friends with
I was NEVER friends with any of my exes. It never worked out that way. So move on. This was until I had a relationship for 3 1/2 years. She had always maintained friendships with her exes and I never got why/how. Well that relationship ended (nothing to do with her exes but just on the mere fact that we were heading in different directions). I didn't want to be friends because I just expected that that's what happens in my experience. It was (previous to this relationship) always "ok I'm going to try to be your friend....but nothing" or "she's going to try to be my friend...but nothing". So I figured it ends it ends. Why bother. However, she tried to be my friend right after but I initally was like "No. GO." and then went through the back and forth process of "should I be her friend or shouldn't I?" Anyway, time passed and we are now are friends. I give her credit for being persistant on wanting me in her life as a friend. She absolutely would have it no other way. I admire her determination and realizing what I hadn't initially. That is that she likes me for who I am. Being "together" didn't work but that core feeling of "I do like her" hadn't changed. I do see now that I liked her for a reason. Flaws and all we are who we are. Just because there is not a "relationship" doesn't mean we can't appriciate each other for who we are. In the end of it I do think she's a cool girl. We have a similar sense of humor. A similar out look on certain things (and very different on other things but that's what makes it fun). I am glad for the experience and I've learned. I want happiness for her the same as she wants it for me. It's all good.
That said, there are others that I just don't want anything to do with. I don't like who they are and found that out during the relationship process. I think it's a case by case situation.

How could anyonw cope without Gloria?
Breakships are the devil. I moved to another country to get a clean break from an ex and then a breakship and when I ran into her again two years later we were right back where we left off. Now we don't speak and that makes me happy, because she's nuts!
Every Week
So i'm just gonna propose to Gloria Bigelow every week
Gloria Bigelow will you be my future ex-wife?...ex-wife cuz you know, I like to plan ahead lmao
Great episode....I'm friends with 2 of my 3 exes. It seems to be very beneficial to date a guy early on in life cause everyone I know including myself who had a long-term relationship with a guy is like bestfriends with the guy. Weird.
My feelings for one of my exes is mixed though...I really like her and we're really good frineds now, but I think I like her too much sometimes...the thing is we didn't date that long and I've gotten to know her alot better and I almost feel cheated because I didn't like the person I thought I knew half as much the person I'm actually finding her to be. We've both been single since we've become friends....and I just know my heart's gonna break when she finally starts dating someone.

haha so true, i'm actually
haha so true, i'm actually moving into an apt. w/ one of my ex's and another one of our male friends... go figure.
i'm with gloria on "the rules" - even though i'd like to be the type that just "feels things out" like nikki, i totally need the rules.
also, random dude walking thru the set?
Love this
hmm my first thought was
hmm my first thought was that i would never give any of my friends the permission to date my exes. but then i remembered that not all of my exes were worth being so protective over. the idea that one of my friends would want to dip their tongue or finger into any of my past goods is just weird to me. but i guess to each its own.
Why can't we be friends?
I'm with Nikki and Dalila - I tend to remain friends with my exes whenever possible. Relationships begin in a place of love and friendship - and although I can't say all of my relationships have ended the same way - the majority of them have. If time needs to pass for feelings to sort themselves out then so be it, but I don't see any need to be angry or vindictive (unless there's very good reason.)
As for dating friends' exes, I agree with Nikki and Dalila again - I would always ask/inform a friend before dating one of their exes out of respect. I know that if a friend were interested in one of my exes, I would expect the same thing (and would be happy to wish them well!)

2 of my exes married
The whole time I was watching this I remembered back to when I thought I was bi. Back then whenever I broke up with someone they joined this club of all my exes. It was very strange but they were my closest friends and they all hung out together, even without me around. They often judged if the next person I dated was suitable. Well I found out that my first serious boyfriend was dating my first serious girlfriend. He asked me for my blessing and I was so angry and jealous. I went home and complained to my mother and she basically told me that I made the decision to break up with these people. If I cared about them at all my main concern should be their happiness. How could I argue with that? So I gave them my blessing. They went on to marry one another and I was the best man in the wedding. They even mentioned me in their vows as the one who brought them together.
I am still close friends with all of my exes. I have a hard time imagining any of them hooking up, but they are all very important people in my life. God blessed me with them and I can't see myself losing their friendship for any reason. Someone who is not comfortable with that already tells me that they have some trust issues and therefore is not welcome in my life.
Cherry Bomb
Thanks for the episode.
I am friends with my ex,
I am friends with my ex, though I needed time for stuff to sort itself out before we were friends. I stil find it easier to talk to her about stuff than some of my other friends, though on occasion I get questions like, "Did you feel like this when we were dating?" (A little awkward)
I need rules to be friends with my ex, the most important one being, NO flirting! (even if they flirt with you don't flirt back)
I agree with Tatum ex's who are friends are really good at brightening your day.
Ex's who are friends can be really understanding...
Great episode!
Hmmm
friends with exes
i'm not opposed to it at all. I'm still friends with my first girlfriend ebcause we were friends for four years before we dated, and it was in high school. (So it inda doesn't count lol). The rest of my girlfriends were sorta outta nowhere, and we had nothing in common. I still keep in contact occassionally with one of them just because she went through some hard times and I know she's a good person so i care about her progress, but I didnt have much of a connection with any of them so the fact that we're not friends doesn't bother me. I'd hope that if I was in a relationship with a person I had a true connection with, we'd still be able to be friends if it ended.
Oh and as far as friends dating my exes..my exes suck so i wouldn'twish them on anyone, but even if they didn't suck, why the hell would you wanna date somone i've already had relations with? I don't do seconds, and I don't see why someone else woudl want to.
I got a dick like a mule...with a big dick.
4 lovely ladies......
I look forward to every new episode each week. I cannot get enough of these 4 lovely ladies. Keep up the great work!

Still raw
My break up just happened and I'm really raw but I do know that I spent time with this woman for a reason and I can't imagine NOT having her in my life as a friend. I loved her for a reason and it was the friendship that played such an integral part. Having said that until I can sort out these emotions, the friendship thing will be absent.
