I wouldn't normally make threads in this vain, but I've had a weird week and it just got a little more strange. I was in a LTR for 5 years until 2 and a bit years ago. My ex's Mum just called my Mum for a chat and to tell us that he got married. It was a bit of a surprise for me simply because I wasn't expecting it. I have spent the last 5 minutes thinking about it. I can honestly say that I feel nothing, which I'm happy about. I wouldn't expect to feel anything - we broke up for a reason, after all....But since I was already on here, I thought I would throw the question out there. Have you ever heard about/from an ex and been surprised at their news? What was it? Where you upset and why?
I think it's good to feel nothing when you hear news like that, it's the only way to prove that you're really over them. I found out that the ex who I was with for two years is still with his girlfriend and they're engaged (they've been together for about four years now) and I'm the same as you. I didn't feel upset by it at all. I'm happy for him because I know this is the kind of relationship he wanted. He wanted to be settled by the time he was in his early twenties and I did not want that AT ALL. I'm happy for him, I'm glad that it's working so well for him and this girl. They're both into the same sort of thing, like camping and Land Rover events and he liked to go to stuff like that every other weekend. That's just not for me at all, haha. I'll be honest though, I feel quite smug because she's a little ugly
lol, which ex? Honestly... I don't care much as long as they're happy. That also goes for the ones that hurt me the most.
My ex is the same as always....being an arsehole, money hungry, bastard, piece of sh*t, fucktard. Still emailing me asking me when we're going to see each other again. Doesn't understand the term "fuck off!"...but hey, english IS his second language I guess. :smt019 You'd never guess it...but I actually don't hate him. :smt042
Husband #1 (yes I've been married twice) spent alot of time in Vegas after we divorced. He got in with a stripper for awhile. :roll: Then he got remarried, has at least one child now. I'm happy for him. Though there is one regret I have about moving out. I didn't take the wedding pictures with me then, and when I asked him repeatedly about getting them over the years he never answered me. Not even to tell me he got rid of them. That's all that ticks me off about him nowadays. I wanted them because my aunts and uncles aren't alive anymore, so I wanted them for those pictures. Oh well. Live and learn, right?
Yes it happened to me. My one ex called me last summer to tell me he had moved to the UK.And invited me to visit him there which I politely declined.Hehe.
i've kept in touch with my only real ex (only real b/f i've ever had) since when i left him, so i guess i didn't have any surprising news. oh well... he was so desperate about loosing me that he helped himself with a brazilian married woman after some weeks that i left him. i guess it was funny when he told me.
One ex is engaged. One is getting married next year. We get on fine - I broke it off with him in 2005. One is single (the one what got away, if you get me). But we don't speak - he's the only one I'm not friendly with. My recent ex is still single. We still speak quite a lot.
Well, I have one ex. An ex I was with for 10 years. We just broke up some weeks ago, I don't remember, but are still communicating. I did hear from him today. He told me he got into a fight where he's at and he said it was self defense but he doesn't think they will see it that way so they may end up making him "max out" and be there until 2017. So he ends the letter with, "Now aren't you glad we aren't a couple?" I'm just disgusted and don't know what else yet because I haven't really thought about it and don't think it has sunken in really. Hmm.
Hell If I know what my ex is up to.... Should I care? Is it wrong for me to not care? If so, too bad.....
