Ex-boyfriends become the names that cannot be named.
If you want to tell an anecdote that involves them, you have to say a “friend of mine.”
Because if you use their name, the person you are talking to, like your parents, for instance, will say “whatever happened to him. I liked that guy.”
And then you have to explain a whole bunch of stuff you don’t want to explain.
