What would you do if your ex opened up about why they ended things?
Updated | By Jane Linley-Thomas
Similar to an exit interview at work, maybe it would be a good idea to have a break-up interview with the aim to find out what went wrong in the relationship?
Ah man, nothing sucks quite like a break-up. Whichever side you are on, it's not an easy thing to be a part of.

For the most part, my previous relationships (not that I had many to be fair) ended amicably. I have also been on the receiving end of the break-up and I can recall only one relationship that I let the chap down. Shame, he was sweet but I just didn't like him as much as he liked me.
I have always set high standards for my relationships, so when it comes to love, only great love will do.

As you will recall, Simon recently embarrassed me on air by tracking down my first kiss and getting him to dish the details. So cringe-worthy! Just today a stranger brought it up and had a good laugh (at my expense, mind you).
Simon boasted the other day that very little embarrasses him, so I went on a little mission to find out anything I could about him that he may be hiding. All in a bid for a bit of revenge - and the digging began.
I remembered a moment when he got cagey when talking about an ex (who he named - silly him). With that in mind, I went on to social media, and in this day and age, finding a person is as easy as loving a Friday.
Anyway, I found her and she dished the deets on why she broke up with him, and it didn't take much persuasion on my part.
Listen to Simon squirm after I played him the voice note on air:
Now, I want to know from you, if your ex came forward with the reasoning behind your break-up, would you cringe or would you take it with a pinch of salt?
