    Just curious how many people still google their exes.  I do when I get bored sometimes.  It's not like I want to see them or care what they are doing- I just find it entertaining to see what happened to them.  Anyone else do this?

    never really thought of it. I mean I wonder how they're doing, but never really took the time to search for them. Makes me curious now that the idea is popped into my head... :)

    Never crossed my mind to do so. That's why the past is the past.

    No, but I might go try it now that you've put the idea into my head!  ;-)  I doubt much will come up though.  He's not a very "plugged in" type of guy.

    hahaha. I sometimes look at his profile on facebook or other social networking sites... I used to log into his email after we broke up since he'd told me all his passwords...but that didn't last long.

    Sometimes I admit I will lurk my ex on facebook. I don't know what it is, maybe because I hope he realizes how bad he messed up and now I am happy???

    Nope, that part of my life is done, so I don't care to revisit it.  I get enough un-wanted updates from my family who still lives in a very small town.

    Yes, because some of my exes are popular in their professional fields and I like to see what they're doing, awards they've earned, media clips, etc. Every few years I will run into/call one of them to see how life is. We broke up but I'm still proud/interested in their acomplishments

    The other 98% of my exes are still my buddies- so I don't need to google them.

    I may be in the "weird" category on this one.....

    I agree with the orginal poster. I don't care about the guy I just like to see what happened to him.  I took him off my friends list when we broke up it's not much to see so I stopped.

    I occationally "stalk" my ex-fi's facebook... trying to figure out if he's unhappy/miserable... which I don't think he is, but I pretend... it makes me feel better about how bad he hurt me.  At least he's still single. lol

    No. I have absolutely no desire to know what is going on with their lives, and hear far too much about it when I unexpectedly run into random mutual acquaintances when I go 'back home' to visit on occasion.

    I don't even bother accepting them through FB - they were honestly awful to me, so I'd rather not revisit the past and no amount of curiosity could sway me.

    Plus I'm more than happy with who I've found; I don't need to compare notes to know that :)

    I'll admit it...I do when I'm bored! But I'm just curious. I have no romantic feelings for any of them.

    I don't...but I have facebooked a few just to see their photo and see if they look the same (or worse! lol so bad)

    but on the subject....

    my FH had an ex gf who had a lot of issues and he ended up breaking up with her for the final time (they had broken up and got back and etc) after she LIED about having cancer to try to keep him.Yeah, a complete psycho but I actually kinda felt bad because she was such a sad person...that was until she texted him late on night long after we were together and he ended up changing his number...well she ended up googling him, saw we were engaged and had her friend write on our wedding website guest book!!! I was shocked and just mentioned it to my fiance' and then deleted it but I was so shocked! Luckily, she lives in another state!

    @Tonya2010...nothing too bad, thank GOODNESS! I would hate it but I would feel even worse for my fiance' who is already sorry he dated her and wouldn't want his fam to realize anymore then they already do how crazy she is! 

    It was her friend that wrote it...I didn't know her or the name but he reconized the name, vaguely. It just said "oh, look at you! we couldn't believe you are engaged. hope that works out. we wanted to call you and congratulate you in person but you changed your number...too bad. hope it works" and i was pissed enough about that! but tried to just delete it and leave it...

    I will admit it brought up some fears of people googling it and having access to the ceremony and reception info! but besides her I don't think we have any issues! I would put up a password or something but I think a website alone is high tech/too high tech for a lot of my relatives...anyone else have a password? maybe I should have done one :X

    @ Sulli Wow!! That was so rude and immature! Good job on handling it the way that you did. I am not so sure that I would/could have been that calm.
