So today, I found out my old ex boyfriend from High School got Married...

Just peeked at his Myspace....he just got married. I find it interesting we dated eachother for 3 years in High School, and we both married the first people after each other. Part of me wonders if he is bitter at me still, is that possible after over 9 years? I was tempted to message him a congratulations, but given how angry he was when I dumped him, I think I should let sleeping dogs lie...

If he's remarried and moved on I don't think it would be a big deal depending on how the breakup went. A simple and short congratulations wouldn't hurt anything. I wouldn't try to get verbose or respond to any response he may give you if he doesn't offer it though.

A simple "Congratulations on your new marriage, I wish you the best" can't hurt. You're re-married with kiddos, not like he'd get the idea you're looking for something beyond a congratulations.

Haha...

yea I don't check my ex's myspace. But if it's been years now, I don't know their circumstance. It sounds like she called it off with him, moved on got married, had kids. I don't think one message saying congratulations when he gets married is too bad... but if there's been dead silence for years it could be a bit odd.

I know I wouldn't want a message from my ex after getting married...

It was a nasty break up. I broke up with him to be with my now husband. He was heartbroken, jaded, and bitter for a long time. It wasn't mutually decided, I was just over him and moved on.

I haven't actually seen him for almost 8 years, I just get the feeling that he'd rather not here from me....

So why was there a bitter break up? Did you cheat on him with his little brother?

I'd leave him alone then. It was a while ago, but he doesn't need the stress of knowing you're checking out his myspace and thinking about him. Most guys I think are happier when we think our ex's are moved on and not checking our myspaces, sending us messages. If it ended badly, just leave him be. Perhaps put a message on your myspace and throw in at the end you noticed he was married and wish him the best.

No. I had him whipped and rubbed him down to a nothing of a man, I didn't respect him because he wasn't willing to challenge me. He graduated High School, I had a year left, he wasn't around, and my now husband and I at the time were just friends. I realized that I didn't love him anymore, I didn't want my life to be with him, so I broke it off, he was really hurt, and for a month or so would come around school trying to get it back, and it just hurt him more.

I didn't feel bad about it at the time, but as an adult, I see I could have done it better.

But, there isn't any contact. He Messaged me initially and added me because he wanted to get in contact with my Mother, who my weird ass Mom took an interest in getting him "saved", so that was all that was about. Then I noticed on his page that my ex had a Myspace, it was benign, no information or anything, and I only looked at it recently because I was telling a friend of mine he looked like Brenden Fraiser and I wanted to show her.

Meh, it's not even worth the effort for me to figure out how to remove him...

i found out last month my ex that I lived with for 2 1/2 years when I first moved to Boston got married after dating the girl 3 months. oh and i just found out she's pregnant.

and one of the reasons we broke up is because i told him when i was 26 that if i got pregnant i would keep it. he was flipping out because he said i would have to have an abortion because he wasn't ready to be a father....

oh man. i feel bad for that kid.
