Because texting your ex is a bad idea. Calling your ex for any reason is a bad idea. Drunk-dialing and drunk-texting are especially bad ideas. But you have to do something, and you're driving your friends nuts.
Hence, The Ex-Files. Not really a journal of breaking up and moving on, but a collection of the things you think when you drive by an ex's house and the car's not home, the way you feel when they don't call when they say they will, the things you want to ask or say or scream or carve into their car doors. The things that you have to say but are better left unsaid. This is the place.

Julia:
I feel like guys do not continue to think about their exes after they break-up.
-
Mary:
Well I had sex with mine last night -
-
Julia:
*gasps* I cannot believe you just said that!
-
Mary:
- so I can pretty much tell you that he was definitely still thinking about me.
-
...
-
Julia:
The only way of getting over your exes is basically to fall in love with someone new.
-
Meghan:
And also have NO contact. Do not see them, do not date them -
-
Julia:
But no I still think about them!
-
Meghan:
- Do NOT sleep with them again
-
Julia:
I wouldn't do that.
-
Mary:
You can "fall in love" with somebody but if you fall in love with them immediately then you yourself will never really figure out what went wrong with the person you were in love with before. And second of all, there is NOTHING wrong with sleeping with an ex after a given amount of time.

...
-
Meghan:
NO. Do not sleep with your ex
-
.....
-
Julia:
I do agree you shouldn't have any contact for a given amount of time, but then I think that you could maybe start it over, because it's really depressing to me, to think about all my exes, all the time and the love and the energy I devoted to them for what? For nothing? For no relationship?
-
Mary:
No, you learned so much about yourself during all of those relationships and so you have to give yourself credit and, you know, learn what you did and didn't like about them and move on.
-
....
-
Julia:
I keep thinking about the fact that they were *snaps fingers* so quick to stop talking to me, and it makes me not want to get in another relationship.
-
Meghan:
Makes me jaded.
-
Julia:
Yeah! Jaded and bitter.
-
Meghan:
And I don't want to be like that
