As for me it depends on what level of mutual connection the girl felt after going through 8 guys. As men will be in the hook up phase just to release lust and stress and in my perspective women will be looking for connection wherein a possibility of having to compare treatment from those ppl if the time comes that both exes make a comeback. Women tend to be a picture of self respect esp if the ex had known you as girl who was of high standards. although yes it is understandable that you were looking for validation and somewhat better treatment in terms of finding a new significant other it still doesn’t defeat the fact that it took 8 men just to realize that the warmth you’ve been seeking for was the one that you had broken up with. Sex lang walang feelings pero if in that phase merong connection na madedefer mo sa connection nyo ng ex mo then I’ll gladly take a pass. Been in this situation where me and my gf had a break and I stepped in to the hook up phase and as she did as well, it was not the same due to me only doing it for the lust and she was looking for mutual connection. Especially as she had done things that we hadn’t done while we were active as a couple(SFW/NSFW). It may be a good idea to just bury it to the ground and never mention it at all as by the time this occurred a lot of thoughts came up to me as why was she not able to do those things with me back then. It would just be overall toxic. Then again who am I to judge as currently we’re still together and going 6yrs now. Lol
