I only have one ruined song. It's Destiny by Zero7.
This one song was very strongly connected to an ex and I have bad memories of him and our time together. I still annoyingly like the song but I avoid hearing it if I can.
Other songs will remind me of exes but only in passing. They are not 'ruined' since I still like them and am not put off by hearing them.

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.
Fernando Pessoa, 1918
