NWR: Ex got married.. does it make you feel *weird*?

My ex and I are still good friends. He just told me he's thinking of proposing to his gf and wants my help. I'm happy for him, but it's weird because he's such a fucktard... I can't imagine what it would be like to be married to that boy haha.

Nope one ex married a few years ago. And another married nov 2012 to fh sister. I was in their wedding and everything.

I don't talk to any of my exs, if he decided to marry his current person, more power to him, I don't even care.

You guys are lucky.. thanks for making me feel WEIRD-ER hahahahaha.

Why though?

@RusticBride, yea, I know the "weird" of which you speak. I broke things off with my ex-husband. We split in 2005. I've been with FH since, and happily so. But when he married last fall, yea, it was "weird." I don't think there's anything wrong with it. If you said you felt "obsessed" that might be strange, lol. But "weird" - no big deal, totally normal!

Yes! I can't explain what "weird" feeling I got. It wasn't jealousy and I damn sure didn't want to be with him. He started dating someone half a year after me that looked EXACTLY like me, down to my piercing. And they got married. The pictures made my heart stop, but then I forgot about it ten minutes later haha.

My ex and my ex good friend started dating 2 weeks after I broke up with him and I found out they got married in November. Have to admit it was a little blow to my ego since I was really close with the skank... But I have to say makes me feel good that I one upped in everything with my FH... Love him to death and happy that chapter closed in my life and a new one is starting!

The weird thing for me was a couple years after we broke up, about 2 years into dating DH (then just a bf) found out my ex had a baby with some girl he was with. When we were together he wasn't sure he wanted children and now he has a child. His Catholic parents must have loved that one

I totalllllly understand. I found out that my ex got married a year or so ago and i got that feeling too. It was very odd... I was with FH and so happy and in love, yet there was something there that was like... WEIRD. Hahaha. I get it

I saw my ex got married through pics from mutual friends on Facebook. Mostly I felt sorry for the poor girl he married.

@Jae, oh, I certainly feel sorry for her.

I think it's mostly about ME and not him. It's like "what am I? Chopped liver? 5 years and the thought of marriage WITH ME didn't interest you.... but 9 months with this one and you decided to propose. WHAT?"

I think that's what it is.... makes me feel like poo... haha! I just need to keep telling myself, "I dodged a bullet."

I don't really care if my ex-husband remarries. I just feel bad if it is the girl he currently dates, who is madly in love with him and wants to marry him. He called her a "bandaid to the wounds" that I created. He is a tad dramatic, if you can't tell. lol.

I had an ex that I dated for 4 years from age 17-21. He was also, like your ex, my "first love." He was a Marine and when we finally broke up (because of his cheating, which I couldn't take anymore) he told me he wanted to work things out (he was overseas) when he came home. After he was back in the U.S. he called me one day because he wanted to go out to dinner and catch up. I was moving and told him I would contact him in a week or two once I was in my new place and settled. When I called him a few weeks later he had his new girlfriend answer and she was flipping out on me. Saying I was the psycho one, a prude, and I can't remember what else. Haha. That was the last time I ever attempted to talk to him. He married that chick and they have a child now. I just really hope he isn't doing what he did to me to her because I firmly believe that a cheater never changes their ways. I must say it happened for a reason because I met my fiance a few years later who is such a wonderful man.

I guess mines a little different because I was engaged to my ex! And then I came to my senses and ran as fast as I could!

Id love it if they weren't all still on the loose like wild chimps

I WISH my ex would get married. For some reason he seems to think that I want to get back together with him (12 + years after our break up). I have to deal with him as he is my daughters' father but that's it. He seems to think we are friends (he mistakes my kindness for caring).

But I could see feeling weird about an ex getting married. I don't think there's any significance to it other than you acknowledging that this person had a piece of you for so long and now he's married.

I am not friends with my ex so I wouldn't feel weirded out. I do wish my ex much luck in his life though.

Yes! It was a little weird for me. In my case my ex was my husband for 10 years and we have a 6 year old together. I've been with my FH for over 3 years. My ex met someone, proposed, moved in, and got married all within a year or so. Even though I have moved on and I'm much happier, I did feel a little weird around the time he was getting remarried. I think it's normal though - especially when there's so much history involved. Now I'm so focused on my own wedding in less than 3 months that it doesn't even cross my mind.

I don't think it's strange that you feel that way, no. I have an Ex-H, and honestly by the end of our marriage (2 1/2 years), we were nothing more than roommates. Not really even friends - no love there, nothing more than polite respect. Haven't communicated since I moved back home, have no idea where he even lives. It probably makes me sound like a horrible person, but he means no more to me now than some random kid I went to third grade with.

Sure, I wish him all the best, but in the same generic way that I would wish *anyone* to be happy.
