    So my ex-fiance from high school (yeah, we got engaged right after we graduated) is now dating the girl who wanted him when we were dating.  I will never forget she asked me one day senior year, "How's my Dougy doing?"  (We were in an LDR).  I was like, what?  He's my bf, etc.  So I guess I shouldn't be too surprised, she did get what she wanted in the end.  It took them long enough, we have been broken up for over 4 years.  I'm slightly irritated about the whole situation, and I know I shouldn't be because I haven't seen him since we got engaged.  We still keep in touch a bit as we have some mutual friends.  But part of me is irritated that they are now together.  It's not like I will ever see them, except maybe at a class reunion, it's just weird to see them plastered all over facebook.  I don't know how to feel about it.... I guess after a while I will get used to it.  It's just a little weird for me, I guess.....

    I think it's natural to feel weird about it, but if it's really bothering you, it sounds like you may not have appropriate closure on the relationship. People change a lot over time - my FI and I were friends in high school and things never would have worked between us then, but now, 8+ years later, we've both changed and grown a lot. And we're perfect for each other!

    You haven't seen your ex or this girl (presumably) in 4 years or more. Chances are they are hardly the people you knew way back then, and hopefully you can find it in you to be happy for someone you once cared about! I know I'd hope that from all of my exes!

    i also think it's natural to feel weird about it, but you're moving on so he's allowed to too. why don't you defriend him so you don't have to see him anymore?
