My Ex from a relationship 15 years ago has emailed me to catch up, give her my cell (the one she called is disconnected), to tell me to come and visit, to say her sister said hi. Last time we spoke was like 7 years ago and last time we saw each other wasn't good. We left each other in a fight after trying to get back together.

Why not just let it go. I emailed back, and she emailed back 2 times. I just asked how are you, your mom and sister? I don't want to talk to her on the phone. Why is there a need for her to catch up or visit? That's crazy. Really who cares what her or I have been up to in the last 7 years? Yeah, I'm kind of annoyed. I moved on 7 years ago. Why try to suck me back in? I can't be sucked back in, because I have no positive feelings. Should I just talk and tell her I have a new life? A serious relationship and not looking to go back?

You shouldn't have replied to the initial email. You should have put her on a blocked list. Do not reply to further emails and block her from emailing/texting/calling.

To answer the original question, I have no idea. The notion annoys me. It bugs the hell out of me when the ex asks or her mother sends a "friends request" or attempts to follow me on social media.

The idea that people can't leave the past in the past is beyond the grasp of some.

I made the mistake of talking to an ex after not seeing him for a year or two. Big mistake. The conversation started out normal then he randomly started insulting me after he asked what I was doing and I told him I was shopping -_-. Just ignore exes, unless you're truly interested in getting back together with them. There is usually no point in communicating.

I know what you mean, OP. I have an ex who I broke up with back in like 2002 or was it 2003 who still keeps stalking my linked in profile. I prefer that he doesn't know anything about where I am or what I'm doing. I'm not happy that when I bought my house that it's public record and a google search brings up my new address.
