It's almost impossible not to feel something about it, especially depending on how the relationship went. 2 of my exes are married now.

When the first one happened (married 1.5-2 years ago), I was honestly depressed for awhile...like fucking emo depressed. I wanted her to die a miserable, lonely c unt (just how I felt). The 2nd one isn't really depressing, but it doesn't exactly feel great either. More reflective this time, I suppose.

what I don't get is those people who invite their exes to their wedding. My wife and I made a pact on our wedding night: the next time we get married, neither of us are doing a wedding and neither of us are inviting the other to the "ceremony"/reception. :lol

It depends on how the relationship ended. Exes of mine from high school are married to losers and have children...if I was a stupid me i'd kill to be in my current position in terms of not having children and being married. Some chicks just don't cut it bro

Why do white people feel the need to still be friends with your girlfriend/wife after the relationship ends? That's some pussy shit right der! That fool is probably fucking her better than you, so why put yourself through that sort of torture by showing up or still being close to her. A real man admits defeat and lets that shit go or beats the shit outta that dude.

Yes, if it wasn't an especially serious or passionate relationship to begin with, or if enough time has passed for those feelings to give way to indifference.

My ex-ex, if I found out she'd gotten married, I'd be really happy for her. She lives in Nebraska, but if I got invited to the wedding and it wasn't onerous to travel, I'd go. I have no romantic feelings for her anymore and we parted on really amicable terms.

The last ex, no fucking way do I want to know anything about what's going on in her life right now.


Exes are exes for a reason. :lol

Agreed

Long story short, I got cold feet about getting locked down--especially since I was trying to land an overseas medic gig too--which never happened. Looking back, we got engaged too fast anyways but it was my fault b/c I rushed it as a defense mechanism for the heartbreak of my previous relationship (the nurse in Pittsburgh I told you about). There's more to it obviously, but it's not interesting or fun to talk about.

I recently cyberpeeked myself. Don't know why I did it. She's not married. Her fb is so locked down privacy-wise I didn't learn anything. Interestingly enough she put some stuff on Pinterest that would lead me to think she's single and dissatisfied with her dating/romantic life but who knows? More importantly, she's the past and not a part of my future.

Yeah, nothing good ever comes from that. Either you're pissed to find out they're happy and in love, or you find out they're single and a small shred of you contemplates some futile hope of getting back together--even if you know it's not possible, or what you really want.

Why would anyone want to check on an ex? I mean especially if it ended on bad terms aka cheating slore (Slutwhore). Even if shes not one of those, leave her in the past where she belongs.

It's tough to just sever all ties when there are kids involved as my buddy can attest. Both he and his ex are now engaged to new people and at present both plan to attend the other's wedding. They did not part on particularly good terms but they still have a number of mutual friends and their son is still young enough that they feel it's important to show up. They may not necessarily endorse the marriages but they both understand being a new stepmom or dad is tough enough without one of the biological parents doing something that could even be perceived as trying to undermine them.

Obviously my friend's moved on in life, so it's not evoking a lot of huge mixed emotions. I don't think I'd go so far as to say he's well and truly happy for her, but there is some feeling of relief, like any final vestiges of feeling responsible for her in any way are completely done with.

srsly

There's a lot of people I know that do this I guess in hopes of getting her back when she's dumped. How beta is that? My last gf always had an ex (who was like half my size) show up to our parties through mutual friends and would literally be in the same room as us as we made out and stuff. I don't know how he could sit there and deal with that knowing that I would also take her home and plow her later.

Although I think they ended up going out again after I dumped her:lol

Similar situation with my ex, but neither one of us is getting married soon, and I am in a happy relationship myself. You just try and make it as normal as you can for the kid, even though most of the time the last thing you want to do is talk to them. I do not let conversations go past the subject of our daughter, it just leads to trouble.

As someone said above, it all depends on how tha relationship ended. Only had one that hurt. She and I were together for 3 1/2 years, living together for 2, and then things eventually went south. She ended up hooking up with a better looking, beefy guy a year or so later after me -- I think he already had a kid -- and last I knew, the two of them were engaged.

Around that time, though, I pretty much lost all contact with her. Prolly for the best.

Guess so, but atleast he's getting some I guess. This girl's gone through 3 boyfriends (me being the last one) since they first dated and he keeps getting the sympathy sex after she's dumped. And I don't think this guy ever hooks up with anyone else

Extremely beta but atleast he's getting rewarded....until she finds another guy, rinse repeat, no helmet etc

My ex-husband was a better ex-husband than real husband and a better part-time father than a full-time father. For the first couple of years, things went well. We both knew how to be mature because there was a kid involved. We had no troubles at all, until he met someone who was insecure and controlling. From day 1, she forbid (yes, I said forbid) him from talking to me at all in person or on the phone. He said I could only e-mail him. Then, it got even worse because she started answering the e-mails I sent him. So, now I e-mail him at work and he responds to me, and she has nothing to do with it. Once he met her, he pretty much stopped all contact with his kid (also because of her). So when they got married, my son did not even attend (of his choice, he was 16 by then and had only met her once at a family holiday).

Because of how he was when we were married, I first felt the desire to protect her from him. However, after all she has done, I think they deserve each other.

Depends on the level... if you were close to getting married as a couple, and aren't yet married post breakup, then absolutely it's weird, or surreal. What's worse is how facebook's recent changes make it impossible to ignore said ex's life moments, since whatever shared friends like or comment on shows up on your newsfeed.

It's been a long damn time since I've seen my ex, but thanks to drama-queen facebook, I've seen her goddamn engagement, wedding and newborn baby photos the past two years.

Least she's still stuck in the shithole town we grew up in with a shithead husband with no future while I'm in a top-25 Travel magazine college town and a university professor.

"trying to pretend something doesn't exist" sounds like you miss her and are in denial about the whole thing..what i'm saying is totally different. you broke up with the bitch for a reason so just leave her in the past no need to stay in touch online.

your supposed to get through alot of exes in your 20s until finally getting engaged to your future husband or wife, or coming to the realization that being a celibate is the smartest decision. and the girl/guy your currently dating may also be the ex of many other guys and girls. exes are just like everyone imho there's no need to treat them differently than other people, if they're still technically your friends then what's the problem attending their weddings when your invited? you better be cool and magnanimous imho
