How does it make you feel to run into an ex that you haven't seen in a while married with kids?

[coachTanthony]

Thank god those aren't my kids

Why didn't they pick me

Good for them

[NathanDavis]

well, as you know... I am in good terms with my exes, so... I do know their families, those who have them, lol and it is just the same as the families of any of my other friends

even with the boy to my first (high-school) girlfriend, who named her first kid after me, and I told her DON'T FUCKING DO THAT IT'S WEIRD AF!!!

but... it actually isn't lmao...

[KittygosMeoWW]

Eww you’ve already got kids named after you…. Lmao

[NathanDavis]

@KittygosMeoWW you'll never see me calling him mijo... nor junior, lmfao...

good thing around here, everyone will get two names, usually... and he goes mostly by his first name and not "mine"

[KittygosMeoWW]

That’s so weird lol at this point just marry her

[NathanDavis]

@KittygosMeoWW lmao... we've been great friends for over a decade

[Bricealan]

I have not run into her out in public, but she has called me several times in the past few years, and I am able to talk to her in a civil way and she to me.

[Finchie40]

Lucky for me , she wasn’t good looking anymore and I was glad she was my ex lol. I still said hi to her and was respectful to her and happy for her , I had flashback memories of our time together but it was the past

[OlderAndWiser]

I have only run into one ex in the last 20 years. She saw me and then took action to avoid me. I think she feels guilty about our divorce.

[jennifer_bloom]

I'd be very happy if my ex had kids with another woman. I think he is a humble person who deserves to be happy.

[DishLady]

Happy, actually. I like when things work out for someone.

[AviatorTom]

I'd feel good. We didn't work out but she found someone who did.

[Jindadi]

Happy, I want all my former girlfriends, and friends to be in my life as much as they are comfortable with it. But if we loved one another before they are important people. Why get old having had good people around you and end up surrounded by strangers without history... not me. I want to know you husband, kids. If it's not weird, let's do a BBQ I'll bring my girl and kids we can network for another stage in this crazy thing called life. Allies and associates are essential. Some people are in your life for a season, some for a reason and others forever...

[HawkPerception]

Haven't been in that situation as of yet, but at this moment I think I'd feel left behind a little. I'd feel like they've found happiness before me and I'd feel envious of that. If I had a family of my own, I doubt I'd feel envy. I probably wouldn't care.

[Gent207-2]

Anyone who holds bitterness towards an ex after a year or more is only hurting themselves. Forgiveness is a gift you give yourself. Learning to be happy fir them and grateful for the lessons they taught you, however painful, is the pathology to recovery

[Anonymous]

I haven't run into any, luckily.

Girls I've dated, but things just didn't progress to "relationship status": "Good for her. Hope she's doing well (because kids aren't always a sign you're in a happy or successful relationship).

Actual exes: Considering their behavior, I would doubt any are married, because none of them were mentally ready for that, and they were all very selfish people. I do wish them well in a "I hope they cleaned up their act" type thing (But it's also... "Yeah, that's not likely to happen any time soon" kind of way). Not "I hope they're happy while being a horrible person." I don't wish ill on them (past maybe some bad stuff might make them grow up a little)...

I don't know that I would start a conversation with any of my ex girlfriends. Those I only dated, I think most of them are pretty cool... it just didn't work out. I might say hello.

[dustybiker2]

I haven't but have run into ex friends who married people we went to school with. One had kids and settled with everything they wanted by just her twenties. I was very happy for her.

[OfMiceandMen]

I think good for her and them. She obviously found someone that makes her happy and she has children which may have been something she always wanted.

[Aubrey97]

All my ex's are from high school so if I even recognized one, I've long stopped having any emotional response to them so I'd very much be in the "good for you" category.

[Anonymous]

Strangely enough all my exes are still single and a few have tried to hook up, even after knowing I’m married. Never let people bring you to their level….

[purplepoppy]

She's welcome to my cast offs, I see it as charity.

[Jessikaah91]

I wouldn't give a crap lol, I've got a partner and kids too, betcha mines better 😉🥰

[petitedollbabee]

Good for them, I’m glad that they found someone to settle with - but thank god it wasn’t with me.

[SotiCoto]

My exes live in other countries and I barely ever even step outside... It isn't going to happen.

[LiamJHayden]

Good for her. I've never had a relationship with a toxic woman - at least none who was ever toxic towards me - so I wish all of them nothing but happiness.

[GeminiDiamond]

I've seen exes with kids and thought thank god he found someone. I've been seen with my kid, and not sure how they thought.

[Anonymous]

Look people who have truly moved on aren't vindictive. If someone’s angry or tries to make someone jealous. They have a attachment still

[Darkchild25]

We aren't together for a reason. I guess thats what she wanted and Just wish her the best.

[KittygosMeoWW]

Lmao all of my exes are single still including my bd

[12karen]

I've never had exes that got married. But if I run into one of them, I'll be happy for him.

[msc545]

Glad those aren't my kids and I'm glad I don't have to pay for them.

[blueonblack22]

Just say. “Well it’s nice to see you. Have a nice day.”’ Turn around and leave.

[ChinaGrove]

I would hate to run into an ex-wife, but I would love to run into an ex-girlfriend.

[DrPepper12]

Im friends with all of them so im happy to see them happy!

[lorenzomichael]

I can give a shit actually. As long as I don’t run into them and there life has changed for the worse.

[onedarkcloud]

If we left as friends then why not be happy for her and her family?

[Wiredone]

I'd be very happy for them
