Ex Got Married
Recently, my boyfriend and I broke up. Wasn’t working for a while, but we were stuck in a rut and were together just to be together. So when we broke up, I did what everyone seems to do. Or at least my girlfriends. I went Google Stalking for some of my exes online. There was one that I so didn’t want to search on Google because I knew if I found something I wouldn’t want to see it. So of course the one I don’t want to search is the one I find. He was still working as a professor at DePaul. He didn’t like it a year and a half ago when we dated so it made me happy to see he was probably still miserable. Then the crusher came. In the Google search results I found an engagement announcement. And then as the engagement announcement was still warm, I found a wedding announcement. Turns out he just married the girl he dated right after me. They were together a total of maybe six months. We were together for two years plus. I should have never searched for his stupid name on Google.

Ah… don’t feel too bad. I was married for almost 15 years, got divorced, and my ex is already on her 4th marriage.
Oh…and welcome to Entrecard… and stuff.

I don’t ever think I’m going to get married. At least not until I’m financially secure. Or able to find a guy that will make me financially secure. Tomato-mahto. Thanks for stopping by, Monkey Tale!

If he hated his job back then, he hates it today. Guaranteed.
Also, that chick sounds like the rebound chick and everyone knows that never works. Look for the divorce notice next year.

Cardio Girl — I know you’re right. I just want him miserable in every way. Right now.
Oh, and Stalker — shut up.

Bummer! Don’t look back, you don’t know what’s ahead. Something good will come! No more stalking!

Gina, et al — Are all of you saying you never Google stalked someone? Just searched for someone online through Google? If so, we want to hear your stories.

For sure I have Google stalked. I’m not above that, I didn’t mean to imply I was. I’ll have to look for someone new so I can write a story about it…

If it makes you feel better remember that 2/3 marriages end in divorce. He maybe happy today but tomorrow is still up for grabs.

I think the weirdest is when my ex tracked me down (this was via Facebook) and apologized for everything and said he thought of me all the time, etc. Weird b/c he’s married, so it’s like dude, you think about me all the time 10 years later and you’re married?
