Does Your Ex Know Your Getting Married? Do They Need To Know? Did You Tell Them?

Nope...none of them deserve to know and it's none of their business. 1 of my ex's sister has to know cause I always post on FB about it

No I did not tell my ex because I have not communicated with him. we do not talk on any level so I did not feel the need to tell him

I told one of my ex's because he still talks to my family and we text on birthdays and holidays. Then again I live in RI where everyone knows everyone...so I'm sure all of my ex's know by now. lol

My ex knew only because we share a child and another one of my serious exes found out because his cousin is my best friend and maid of honor. But unless you share children with an ex there is no need to tell them. Who cares if they know or not.

Toni- Marie and Edna you girls are too funny. I love it. Lol

My ex found out through FB and congratulated me. My FH ex found out through kids. We are not telling her the date nor location. She doesn't need to know. She is pissed that he is moving on. Plus she a racist.

Hahaha Edna you are too funny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I told my ex-husband. He and I have been rearing children together since the divorce, so we have remained in contact. His reaction when I told him was, "We've been wondering whether you'd be getting engaged soon." He was invited to the wedding, and attended.

I didn't tell my ex-girlfriend. She moved away after our split, and I've probably talked to her only twice or three times since then. So I don't mind if she knows (and I later friended her on Facebook, so she presumably knows by now), but it wasn't a priority to tell her.

Well I have two ex's when I married the second time, I did tell my ex that I was getting married because we had two girls together. He was not happy about it, but I really didn't care (he was also getting married)

This time is totally different. I have custody of "his" son not "ours" and ours that we had together. He is a real jerk and could care less about either of his kids. He hasn't tried to contact them for years. He has been re-married and has two babies by the woman that he left me for. I really could care less how he found out.

I think it depends on the situations. If you still have contact and have children together and they still see the kids and have contact with them. Then yes they should know and not find out through the grapevine. BUT if they dont' and you don't have kids then NO they can find out anyway they can.

I told my ex because we have a daughter and he actually knocked on my door like 10 min after my fh proposed....lol weird...but other then that ....no other ex know because i dont contact him

What ex

If you have minor children and the ex is around alot then tell them. If not it isnt their business.

Nope, I have no reason to tell him.

I was married for 9 years , together since highschool (11years) and have three children with my ex husband. Our separation was close to a year ago and divorce was final at the beginning of this year. Our oldest is 9 and talks to and loves her dad dearly so I know she would tell him. So I told him about the engagement and then about the wedding because I am still friends with his sisters on facebbok and I posted, and she commented on a wedding post. I felt it right to tell him before he heard it from someone else. He said " kinda soon, don't you think" he has had a hard time with the separation and divorce.

Didnt tell mine, but i dont keep in touch with ex bf... but it all depends on the situation kids/houses and what not.

I have children with my ex-husband, so yes- he deserved to know. My DH was going to the step father to those children, and an integral part of their raising. They had met on a few occasions, and my ex has always been very supportive of us.

If you have children together, then yes- your ex certainly has a right to know and shoudl be amongst the earlier people to find out. If you have no children together, then there is no need for further contact and your ex can just find out however they find out.

I told my ex bf because I invited him to the wedding. Over Christmas he called to invite me to his wedding a month after mine. FI's ex gf is one of my close friends and will also be coming to our wedding with her husband.....

I'm pretty sure we're the kind of people that are the exception in this sort of situation! But if we weren't all friends I wouldn't have said anything.

I don't talk to my son's father he is crazy psycho...we use a kid share facility to do visitation for my son. I'm getting married in 5 days and I haven't told him anything. We don't speak unless it is by e-mail and that is strictly concerning our son. He doesn't have my number and I don't have his. He doesn't know where I live and I could care less where he lives. So to make a long story short I don't think you have to tell your ex unless you have that kind of relationship. I don't agree with all that work together for the good of your kids foolish...let's just say I did before I was put in that situation and now I let common sense (and the judge) rule. That boy has a screw loose somewhere. Besides your ex is your ex for a reason...

Hi,

i think whenever some one become your EXes- then chapter of that past life over ....so move on forget about your exes..

I like Judith F.'s response..what ex!!

I will say what most other people said, unless you have kids, it shouldn't matter to them.

And I am really surprised at how many people say their ex is on their FB page. Seriously? Like Jenifer L said, close that chapter in your life.
