Ex (relationship)
- For other uses of the term, see Ex (disambiguation)
In social relationships, an ex is someone with whom a person was once associated. As a prefix, ex- can refer to a variety of different relationships; for example, one might refer to a music group's ex-guitarist. When used alone, ex is assumed to refer to a former sexual or romantic partner, especially a former spouse. This often has a derogatory tinge; some French media take advantage of this connotation by calling French ex-president Valéry Giscard d'Estaing simply the Ex.
