How Do You Refer To A Former Partner?

my EX, your EX, their EX – what EX-actly does that mean?

What’s in this two-letter word? A lot!

Someone you loved

Someone with whom you may have had children

Someone with whom you shared many things, good and bad

And now someone from whom you are probably separated or divorced.

In this excellent blog posting, Jennifer Safian writes about how, even though "ex" has become part of the everyday vocabulary, our families, our close friends and especially our children may not appreciate having their father or mother being spoken about in that cavalier way.
