Ug...stupid feelings!
Our local newspaper does a "Fall Wedding Planner" special insert (as do many other papers, I suspect). Well, the full page front cover sports a variety of photos of my ex and his 'bride' from this past July. I knew they were getting married, and am happy that he has found someone, etc (bla bla bla), but seeing it in colour, and HUGE, in my face, was just not something I think that I needed today (or anyday for that matter...). This was the ex that sucked out my soul, the one I left and in doing so, the path led me to DH about 6 months later (which is, of couse FANTASTIC!). Anyway, this is me just spilling my sour grapes I suppose, and I know I need to shake it off, but I couldn't help but feel a little slighted...why wasn't OUR wedding featured last fall?! (lol - seriously, I am kidding!)
Still made me feel a little 'something' - can't quite say if it was jealousy or not...my mom's reaction was hilareous though - of course she said I am much prettier than her (mom's are great for that!)
K...done being a sour puss! Thanks for letting me vent it out!
Re: Ug...stupid feelings!
DH looked at it when he got home from work and was reading the paper - he totally cracked up - which made me laugh...we are going to take the paper to camp next weekend and burn it! lol (which we would do regardless, but I think that I will take just a little more pleasure in it this time!)
And so true Lexi...all roads led to my Bryce, which is the best thing to come out of that situation for sure!!
You don't need to feel silly about your feelings. You are bound to feel Something when seeing your ex's wedding (which was no doubt lame and the bride was ugly) in the paper. It doesn't mean you still like him, it's just impossible Not to feel something about someone that shared a part of your life, good or bad.
It must of been the day of the Ex's yesterday, because a facebook lead me to a comment that my Ex's wife made about my dog, that my Ex now has. She called her stupid and that she just wanted to kick her (or something similar). Another comment from someone else suggested getting rid of the dog when their new baby comes along. I saw RED, and had to stop myself emailing and telling them to give me my dog back!!
Ex's are Ex's for a reason.
I hear you singingd! I think what you feel is totally normal. While we don't love our ex-bfs, I never for a second believe that if I ever saw mine, I'd feel nothing. That's someone I shared my life with for over 4 years.
I think it's a hilarious idea to burn it! That would probably be pretty therapeutic!
Do the creep.
I would burn it too
Somehow those exes cannot just go away.
About a year before I met DH, I married my (at that time) three year BF. I thought it would all be awesome, but withing two months we got an annullment (story for another post). Anyways, a few days ago he calls me and asks if I could tell him what exact date we got our marriage annulled. For a second there I just wanted to tell him: why don't you go to the court house and find out. But, I decided not to be the a**hole that he was and told him the date. The only time he would need this date is for a marriage license, so I guess he is getting married now. UGH.

I have to say this wouldn't bother me.
BUT, since you were a bit bugged, I say burning is therapeutic, and I bet you will realllly enjoy watching their faces turn to ashes.
I would if I felt like you. I'm evil tho...
