How would you feel if your ex got married?

I am just wondering your reaction if your ex or exes are getting married. Would you feel bad or sad? My younger brother's ex-girlfriend got married a few days ago. We were thinking that it was too fast for her to get married because they just broke up. As per my speculation, she must be pregnant. Don't worry about my younger brother; he has moved on and is courting a new woman in her life. If you are going to ask me, I will be happy if they do get married. What would your reaction be?

It wouldn't bother me at all.

I also feel the same way. I have my exes, but only one does not have closure. Since it has been years, I need to move on and forget her for good.

I'd feel sorry for any guy that married either one of my ex-wives.

@Shavkat My first wife's ex warned me not to marry her and I didn't listen. Why would the next husband listen to me?

Ex is ex. Once they move out of your life, you should just get over them.

@Shavkat In today's world, we should prioritise ourselves

I agree. It is unhealthy to keep lingering in the past. Once it is over, it is about time to love oneself and be ready if the right someone comes along.

I am used to it. If it does not work out, it is best to end the relationship.

I do not care at all, I also got married so why should my ex-boyfriend not do the same? It's life to break a relation and to find another partner.

As the years go by, I realized that having a relationship should be stable. If it did not work out, it is about time to end it. Then, we can find the right one.

@LadyDuck I also felt that way when I reconciled with one of my exes. I realized that we are really not meant to be.

@Shavkat I have been dating my ex during 3 years. After a while I realized that we had nothing really in common and he was boring. I broke.

I think you should bother about your ex once you have broken up. You should move on.

It is also my personal principle: "Once it is done, it is high time to move on."

It depends on the ex! My ex and the biological father of my youngest son - if I discovered he was getting married, I'd not really care but I might wonder why or be suspicious as to what he's using her for! The ex who was my first live-in/long-term partner and is the father of my eldest - I'd be really happy for him. He's a good man. I'd also be shocked because I know that his relationship with me was his first and only. Our son is 23.

I agree with you. It depends on certain situations with the exes. I must say that it is hard to find the right one for me. Regardless, I am still open to singlehood.

It should no longer bother you if you have genuinely moved on. I believe you should be delighted for him/her if he/she has found another love other than you. I believe it would be fair to simply let them go since they deserve to find their true love; it is just sad and awful that it was not you. So why focus on her/him any longer?

You are right. I am sure that my ex-girlfriends have moved on, and they are happy now. Some of them are my friends and talk about some topics. But I never dared to talk with them in person. I am fine with them texting or calling if they wish to.

I also told my younger brother to be happy for them. The ugly truth is that she is not for him.

Couldn't care less if my ex got married or didn't get married. I really don't care who he has or hasn't been with or dated because it has nothing to do with me or our past relationship. Pregnancy and a new relationship has nothing to do with each other they are two different things. If an ex has a child with each other then its coparenting and that is still different and most co parents don't care if baby mommy or baby daddy other relations there so relationship is a child and what is best for that child. Happy parents equal happy children so if both parents want to get remarried, or get married or date that is between that parent and there new parent not anything do with there partner in raising a child.

@Shavkat if your checking on what they are doing it does mean it matter to you? Your not condricting yourself. Either it doesn't matter what your ex is or isn't doing there for you don't check, you don't fallow them. Its one thing if you have same friends or might work in the same places or something but to openly look and search for what they are up too means your still wanting something or still looking to see if there next relationship is better then the one you had. Either you do as you say and give advise to a friend to leave what ex's do not bothering, not bothering to look at what is going on in that person live because they are no longer part of your life.

You are right. Since they broke up, I told him to refrain from knowing what was going on with her now. He made it clear that he had moved on. I asked him about it. As for me, I didn't bother to check on my exes to see what was going on in their lives now. It is a matter of doing my own business and they are doing the same thing.

I don't follow the life of my ex's. So it doesn't matter to me.

Of course, I will feel insulated but I can manage my hurt feelings. The feeling is temporary.

I think it is normal to feel a bit hurt. In my view, they became a part of our lives.

@Shavkat we shouldn't string our exes along,the same way we would wish to be allowed to move own is how they also wish to be left. I mean just let bygones be bygones

It would not bother me. In fact, I often wonder about an ex boyfriend I used to date many years ago. I hope he did find the right one and got married.
