Ex boyfriend got married

decembergrl2014 · October 2014

My ex H got married 2 years ago. He told me he was engaged when we sold our house. At first I was jealous, but I'm long over it now. Last year, I had a shock when we were checking out DJs. We were getting ready to watch a clip of a wedding that he did, and it tuned out to be XH's wedding! He turned it off so fast, so we only saw about 10 seconds of it. One of my friends works with XH's aunt, and told me that he and his wife just had a baby boy. XH has Crohn's disease and was told his meds would lower his sperm count. I'm happy for him.

My ex, who introduced me to my FI, just married my friend's ex-roommate. Get that? Anyway, they got married and invited us to the wedding. We declined and sent a gift. It's not that we are on bad terms, the opposite really. I just didn't want to go.

I think it's okay to have mixed feelings about this.

When I found out that my ex-husband got his current girlfriend pregnant, I was furious. Especially on behalf of my kids. He hasn't seen them in almost 3 years by his own choice (not that I would let him without a fight now - they don't even know him), and hasn't paid a cent of child support in almost as long. He has no interest in the two quickly growing kids that he already has, but he's going to make himself another one?!

That would definitely piss me right the fuck off.

My ex-bf upgraded to a better girlfriend three months after he broke off our 3-year relationship. He proposed at Christmas 2011 and she put him off, and then broke up with him in May of 2012. I only found out when he came to me the day after apologizing for breaking my heart. I was really rather hatefully pleased.

Edited to finish my damn thoughts. Long day for my poor useless brain machine.

My first ex to get married was this past June. He was the last bf before I met FI. He text me the day he proposed to tell me he was asking her later I said congrats. He text me a few days/weeks before the wedding to tell me it was happening and he missed me. WTF?! He text me the morning of his damn wedding and was telling me he was sure some how we would still end up together and him getting married didn't mean I had to give up hope.

I never had time to judge his wedding choices. Just her marriage decision. Then I sat here terrified it may be one of you knotties.

Oh shit, wouldn't that have made for some great drama!

The week right before I got married, an ex of mine (who lives on another continent) that I'm still friendly with asked if I wanted to have a Skype "date" (not romantic, just plans to chit chat!) that weekend. I was like "oh. This weekend I'm busy. I'm...getting married." He knew I was engaged but it still felt kind of awkward to say it so bluntly. But his response was "oh it's that time already? Have fun!" So it made me feel less awkward about mentioning it to him.

I honestly don't know where most of my exes are now. And because of this thread I tried to look them up on FB. Bad Witchey, bad!

Of the two exes I'm still "friends" with, one is in a serious relationship (they bought a house together last year) and I'm totally thrilled for him. We only dated for 9 months or so in high school before we realised we had different visions for our lives. We've been friends for over a decade and all I want is for him to be happy.

I have one ex who said he'd never get married, then he told me mid-relationship that he was moving to Hawaii, so that was done. He got married a couple years later. I actually really respect that guy so it's not a huge deal, except that he met, got engaged to and married a girl (who appears foreign) in about a three-month span. SO, hopefully it's love but I was skeptical...

Another ex (the more serious of the two) also said he'd never get married. When I started dating my fiance, he deleted me on FB but would still randomly text me to tell me he would always love me. STOPPPP. He stopped doing that finally.. I'm not sure if he knows I'm engaged. I have to assume so because we have a lot of mutual friends still (at least on FB, not so much "in real life"--high school people, etc). I haven't wanted to say anything, because early on in my relationship, any time I'd mention the bf, he'd be like "OMG IS THAT ALL YOU TALK ABOUT." So, whatever.

falsara · October 2014

I honestly only had one serious relationship before FI. We're not friends on FB, so I have no idea what is going on in his life, he did Congratulate me on the engagement over FB message, but since then all contact has been dropped just because we don't keep in touch.

There's only one or two old boyfriends from HS that I'm friends with, neither of them have ever been in serious relationship and we don't chat much. I honestly don't have any ex-boyfriends that were serious so its a non-issue for me. I honestly hope they live good lives and are happy.

My ex-FI actually married the chick he cheated on me with/left me for just a few days ago, the week after my wedding. Their facebooks are private but I've glanced at their profiles to see if there's new profile pics. She has absolutely awful taste (in hair, makeup, clothes, etc) so I am really curious if her dress followed suit or if his mom (who has great taste) talked some sense into her. Otherwise I give nonefucks. I hope he isn't a douchenoodle to her like he was to me because nobody deserves that shit.

Wait, you got married like two weeks ago and a few days ago your FI left you for another woman and married her???

I must be reading this wrong. Right??

DEFINITELY READING IT WRONG/I EXPLAINED IT WRONG!!

I was engaged to a guy, X, in 2011. X cheated on me and left me for this girl, Y (also in 2011). I am not in touch with X or Y, but found out through the grapevine that they got married one week after H and I did. (We got married 10/11, they got married 10/18.) So I'm occasionally glancing at X and Y's private facebooks to see if a pic of Y in her wedding dress pops up on one of their profile pics because I am curious about her dress.

OH THANK GOD. I was like "How are you so cool about this right now? And how is that legal?!"

If H cheated I'd be asking you guys how to remove blood stains from carpet and how far away I should hide the body.

Luckily you have found international group of Knotties willing to assist in such matters if ever the need should arise.

A guy I broke up got married a few years ago. I knew if I stayed with him I would be married too young and stuck in my hometown. He has a lovely wife and a child that also seems lovely. I'm glad he found what he was looking for. We both would have been miserable if we saw things through.

A love interest in highschool got married a couple years back and they have a child. I said to myself "She's lucky. I passed on that so she could have him." I'm not sure why I had those cocky thoughts, because I never had feelings for him...strange.

A guy that broke up with me went out west and married someone, but I don't think they have children, at least, not that I know of. He gave me zero closure on why he didnt want to be with me anymore, which lead me to question myself and how I presented myself for a long time. I am a better person for it, so I got over it. I admit, I did creep him om facebook because I was curious.

Cookie Pusher · October 2014

I had always remained friendly with my exes, but have lost touch with most of them. The one I'm still actively in touch with is definitely not married yet. He and I still email and text periodically, and I'm friends with his family on FB (he isn't on social media). For many years after we broke up, he didn't really date. He is seeing someone now, though, and I do hope it works out for him. He's a great guy - for someone who isn't me. Smart, nerdy, steady, hard-working, good-looking but not very social or sociable so definitely not a good fit for someone like me at all.

ShesSoCold · October 2014

The guy I left for my now H got married to some girl he met on myspace within months of us breaking up. I was happy for them both, but knew it was a train wreck. I keep in contact with 2/3 of my ex boyfriends (my first BF is single and basically my best friend and I never actually broke up with the second one - just stopped answering the phone). I FB chat with the married ex every once in a while. He periodically tells me that his life sucks, he wishes he was with me, blah blah blah. I talk him off the ledge and tell him to do whatever his wife says because broad must be a freaking saint to deal with him for like 7 years.

wandajune6 · October 2014

I was with a guy for about 5 years. I haven't met her but my BFF is still friends with my ex (I met her through him) and had brunch with them a few months ago. Apparently, she's a "poor man's wandajune6." Her term, not mine. Pudgy like me but with fake red hair and clearly not the sharpest crayon in the box.

I feel bad for her- he spent quality time making me feel stupid when I've always known that I'm a smart woman.

Umm, what? You guys were dating the same guy?

ETA: Never mind, figured it out.

None of my exes are married. None of them can keep a girlfriend.

Oh yeah sorry - I could see how that would be confusing. My ex IS my best friend.
