Exes on Facebook
I'm bored and this board is dead since you're all cool and have social lives on the weekends 
What fun facts about your ex(es) do you find on FB?
Mine now dresses up like a medieval knight and hits people with foam swords in the forest. Euro-DH doesn't understand: "But the medieval people were pigs!"
Re: Exes on Facebook
One is a photographer/surfer/beach bum in Florida, which is very interesting because the whole time I knew him, he (1) never went around water -- his older sister had been paralyzed in a diving accident, and (2) never wore shorts -- he had been in an accident and his legs were badly scarred.
The other (is it terribly pitiful that I only have 2 exes?) is a minister in a Baptist church in Kentucky, and is married with four adorable children. I am very happy for him. I ended the relationship when he proposed because he wanted things I did not -- a wife and lots of children. I am very happy he found someone who wanted the same things he did.
Weirdest thing I found out about an ex on FB was that we were both visiting Havana the same exact week two years ago. We both came back and posted pics of our respective trips. I think I probably would have had a heart attack if I'd actually run into this guy on the streets of Havana out of nowhere.
Besides that, I'm still on friendly terms IRL with the exes I'm friends with on FB, so I don't find out anything new/weird.
Oh man, your post inspired me to go snooping on Facebook and I just found out that my ex is living in Iowa City, where my sister is moving in a few months!!
Great, now I'll have to be on guard when we go there in July.
Sorry
If it helps, mine still lives right near by our small hometown.
I have one ex (*ahem*, dorothy
). We're FB friends and last I heard he works for a local radio station.
This topic reminded me of MH's lunatic stalker ex that tracked down his email address and phone number before our wedding and blatantly came on to him. Then she created her FB profile specifically to message him with that same pathetic attempt. After that I discovered that she had been asking a common acquaintance on a regular basis if we had split up, this went on for 14 years. I was like, dammit woman get a life already!
Anyways, hubs blocked her on FB and she had diligently blocked me already.
Don't worry. Better to know than be thrown through a loop when I run into him at some bar.
I'll be sure to look fabulous wherever I go
My ex doesn't have anything interesting going on. He's doing a tiny bit of work in his dream job, living in a city I hate, and is married to the girl he started dating after we broke up and they have at least one kid.
DH and I got together at 19 so I didn't have much time to have good ex-bf stories. I'm friends with a guy I dated casually in high school, he's a videographer in LA with a wife and two kids and looks fabulously happy in every picture - I'm thrilled for him, he was a nice guy.
My other' ex-bf is pretty insane - every couple years he gets in touch to talk about how he hasn't moved on and still thinks about me all the time and hasn't dated since we were together... for a few months... at 18 years old (so, um 14 years ago!). FB has just helped him in this, he tends to email me there now. He's seriously insane. As far as I could tell from his profile, he's only friends with people we went to high school with which I just find a bit overwhelming, I ran pretty far away from home as soon as I could and I just find it interesting to see people who stayed so close.
BFP Apr 2012, EDD Dec 19 2012 * twin h/b at 6wk, 9wk scan * Baby A lost at 12wks, Baby B was my rainbow born at 36wks
My main ex bf has a kid, but isn't married and is working for himself and coaching a kid's hockey team. I am sure glad I'm with dh and not married to him - I bet I never would have travelled anywhere if I had chosen that life.....
I am friends with 2 of my ex's online. The one travels the world touring. He works for a company that takes people on motorbike tours all over the world and he rides the motorbikes when people get tired of being on their bikes. He also goes ahead and plan's the trips, etc. Its a really cool job and he has been to more countries than I can name. He is still single as you can imagine, I don't think that sort of job allows a relationship. The other one was my BF before DH. We are still good friends and I friends with his wife and sister too. They are nice people.
I have stalked one ex, he is divorced and remarried to a girl with the same name as his first wife. Him and his first wife have 2 sons together.
Same here, I ran so fast I pretty much removed an entire group of people from my life and memory. When I first joined FB I would get requests from ex HS mates and had no idea who they were! My Rome BFF had to remind me of who they were every time and she was like "gosh, I wish I could get away and forget"... it's my bliss
None of my ex's are my facebook friends (I've only had one since facebook was created and he's not on it). But I have seen one come up but we didn't' part on good terms (he basically told me, in a rage, I was literally crazy because I was with a new boyfriend, a few months after we'd ended it, and we cut ties) and he's married. I'm happy for him.
I did catch up with another ex of mine recently and he's married as well. I'm definitely happy for him. We parted amicably.
