Why is it so wierd...

[Danustouch]

When you find out an exboyfriend or ex girlfriend got married.

I mean...in the best case scenario..you're happy for them. But..it's STILL wierd.

I just found out my exboyfriend got married beltaine of this past year. And he like...CALLED me in June..and didn't tell me. LOL. How freaking wierd is THAT?

I mean..i'm not all depressed over it. That chapter of my life is long over and done with. I'm very happy for him, in fact. It's just such a strange feeling...and I can't figure out WHY it's so strange.

I mean..I'm logical, most times. So ..I know it's not jealousy. But..then ..what is it?

Anyone else have this experience?

lol I can relate, I think.

I felt so WEIRD and kinda jealous when I heard this girl invited my ex (whom I really held a grudge against, bitterly, but justified), and then when she stood him up, I could've taken a claymore to her, yet I still could've used the same claymore on him!

relationships are weird ^^;

But that's just it. There wasn't an ounce of jealousy. At least I don't think there was. Just a kinda....sadness. But..the kind of sadness you get from watching a sappy movie, like..."Sweet November". You know...the type of sappy movie that's really sad, and really sweet at the same time..and you get all goopy inside?

I don't know. I was thinking........maybe it has more to do with doors closing in your life. You know what I mean? Like it's just odd knowing that even though you might never have decided to backtrack, and walk through that door again..now it would be IMPOSSIBLE to do so...you know?

I dunno. It's just...wierd.

I think it's the "closing doors" thing. There's always that teeny bit of a person who thinks the person they left will still be waiting for them, and then you realize that person has moved on and you think "boy that was egotistical but I really thought..".

Well at least that's how it works for me anyway.

Yep..you are probably right :) ick. I think i'll go listen to some depressing music now..lol.

i know when i hear an ex is dating some one new i can't help but wonder "what if i was still with him" ( not that i would want to be with him, i'm perfectcly happy where i am right now) it's kind of that whole what if thing. wondering how your life might be like right now if things went diffenently back*then.

yep, I agree...Its the death of a last hope kinda thing. Makes you
sorta depressed, angry and jealous, even though you dont want
to be.

Then there must be something wrong with me because I am all happy when I hear an ex got hitched or is dating someone new. I just got in touch with the boy I first dated in high school and I am so happy for him he has been married and has 4 little girls. I was so happy to hear thaat he is doing so well. Not even a twinge of jelousy or what if feelings. Guess I am just wierd.:(

[LuCkYoU]

oh yeah, I know exactly how you feel, one of my serious ex-bfs got married, ann I found out by getting an invitation in the mail, It was like THANKS FOR TELLIN ME!

I think its weird cause every time you see your old partner making out or dating or marrying someone, I think, hey, i wonder if my wife will be able to do that thing with her lips that (insert name) did. Its kinda weird to see someone you knew intimatley with someone else. Doing intimate things. Cause you're not really supposed to know about how they act in intimate situations, i guess.
