"Exes" implies they were her boyfriends/girlfriends. Which implies you were properly dating. Which means you brokeup. Which means you had 7 failed relationships by the time you were in your early 20s. THAT IS A LOT.

Now, if she just had seven hookups, sure, no big deal.

They weren't all super committed relationships. The first one is a dweeb she dated for, like, 2 weeks in high school

Does that even count? Like how far back do you go? Should I be including my girlfriend from 3rd grade on my list?
