If there is one single thing that most of the population on this planet has, it's exes. We either love to hate them, hate to love them, or simply try to get them out of our minds. Whether they were official boyfriends, girlfriends, someone you were "together" with, or a prolonged hook up – it all leaves us relatively with the same outcome: war stories. Of course, no relationship is 100% alike to another.
After a breakup, it is fairly common to be feeling more than just one single emotion at once. We can feel happy and sad at the same time, angry and revengeful, hurt and positive, lonely and confined, lost and revived. It's often hard to cope with the loss of someone who was so prominent in your life; but no matter how the relationship ended there's a song that will inevitably hit home. Here are songs of several genres that describe every type of ex and is a true tell that you're not the only one feeling as you do, or did...
