Why am I so upset about my ex getting remarried?

Because deep down inside you realize "you lost". It's not as negative as it sounds, but I think we all kind of keep score like that; who can be happy first or longest after a relationship is over. You don't notice it when it's you moving on and finding a fulfilling, long-lasting relationship before he does. But when it's him, and you kind of feel "left behind" it stings a bit.

But it doesn't mean your forever going to be alone, etc. It's just a temporary panic that thinks, "did I loose my shot at a marriage with anyone?" You might have missed your chance at a marriage with him now, but did you really want it anyway?

Now is your chance to pick yourself up and find that Mr. Right (not Mr. Right Now) that will make you so happy, forever, that you'll forget about your silly old ex.

I think its normal because its a definate end to something you once had.

I feel you.

Im getting married soon to a man who I am more than in love with. Yet once in a while Ill see my ex from when I was 16 (soooo long ago but he was my first love and first long term relationship) pop up on facebook, see that hes engaged and a little piece of me is very happy for him and on the other hand a little piece of me breaks.

Strange but it passes.

Things were not meant to be for the two of you. All I can say is be happy for him and find serenity in knowing that one day you will find the same happiness that he has found.

I'm sorry it didn't work out. Deep down you probably wish it did. It is hard to end a relationship. You probably still have some feelings for him. You are probably thinking that if things worked out then you would be the bride instead of some other girl. Your day will come.

Sounds like some where deep inside you still miss having him.

because deep down you care about him..you miss him..you wish you could work things out..getting married means he is gone... no more second chance

Cuz the grass is always greener on the other side.

Yeah, it kind of solidifies the fact that you two really are over. That's what's getting to you.

It'll pass with time.

It happens. He has moved on though, I think you should too.

BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT OVER HIM AND YOU WANT WHAT YOU CAN'T HAVE, BUT I BET IF YOU HAD HIM YOU WOULDN'T WANT HIM

YOU'RE HUMAN
