Why does he introduce her as the ex? ?

Question

so my friend ran into her ex bf at a bar and her ex bf introduced her to his friend as the "ex girlfriend" I thought it was a bit awkward but does anyone see the purpose of introducing my friend as the "ex" instead of just a friend

Answer 1

Maybe he does not see her as a friend, but just an ex. Maybe he wants his friends to know specifically their used to be relationship. Nothing wrong with that. It's just peoples' choice of word.

Answer 5

Maybe he doesn't see her as a friend, or maybe it's a way to make sure his friend doesn't hit on her.
