So it would be ex-boyfriend, ex-girlfriend, ex-husband, and ex-wife.

I dumped him last week
“To dump” is slang for “to break up”.
The difference is that “to dump” that you didn’t take the relationship seriously.
Or it means that you are a little angry or not happy with the person you broke up with.
It shows a negative perception of them. However, if you say, “He dumped me” it does not have the same nuisance.
One more time.
