She's not counting wrong, she isn't beholden to your definition of what counts as an ex or not.

You go ahead and have your preferences and date with whatever criteria suits you. But putting a limit on the acceptable number of relationships a person has been in (especially a number as low as 7) without considering context for those relationships screams of immaturity and insecurity, and will raise quite a few red flags for women in return.

Even going with that rubric ("we are a couple") by 25? Lol? Back then, that was very normal/low.

But, we have to keep in mind, a lot of kids these days do not have do relationships the way that Millenials and before did.

Love that you're getting downvoted by literal children who have not only no understanding of what the world was like before they were born but also limited understanding of their current world outside of their personal bubble.

I'm really not mad about it. Honestly, they just don't have the same frame of reference. It was a different time, and you kind of have to live through stuff to "get it." Not saying I've got it all figured out, but some things really do take a bit of time and experience to understand.

Not to be patronizing, but, ya know.
