  • Not unless he had treated me really badly, which would only apply to one.

    All the others, I want to hear they're doing well, and I like to imagine, whether it's true or not, that if they are doing well somehow I had something to do with it. I probably didn't, but I'll try to fool myself into thinking I did.

    I stay in touch with a few of them.

  • I actually had this exact situation happen last year. She sent me a friend request after having not spoken for five years. I was curious, so I quickly browsed her Facebook page and learned that her husband wanted a divorce and that her mother had died.

    No, I was not happy that things were going badly for her, even though she was terrible to me.

  • My ex was my first 'true love' (or so I thought) and I was absolutely head over heels, completely taken with him. Before he cheated on me and left me in the worst mental state I've been, to this day, for two years or so.

    This wouldn't make me gain any sort of pleasure from learning that me might be 'doing shitty' in life right now, though. I wish nothing bad upon him. His actions were nothing to be proud of but I choose not to base my entire opinion of a person off of a few cherry-picked instances.

  • No, but honestly... I'd be completely indifferent. I don't know if that makes me a terrible person, but it's true.

  • No, I don't wish for people to have it rough. I would maybe feel a little bad for them but I wouldn't really give them that much thought, just like you wouldn't if it was a stranger.

  • No, I don't hold petty grudges. I don't really care what happens to her, good or bad. She's out of my life.

  • Not at all.
    In fact, it's a reality for one of my exes. I helped her with good advice but she choose not to follow it. Then she asked money. My pockets were sewn.

  • Unfortunately more people than not get a kick out of the fact that others are doing worse than them... gives them a mental boost, ego boost

    I personally don't care. Hell with her and hell with everyone else too

  • Theoretically it would if I hated her, and it would make me feel really shitty too. But I try not to keep negative feelings around, and such, I do not really hate any previous partner.
