He wasn't a horrible guy so I guess he deserves to be happy, but . I haven't seen the girl yet, but I really want to know what she looks like.
"He wasn't a horrible guy"
If this is the best you can say about him he doesn't sound like a good match for you!

Thanks, but no...that definitely wasn't the reason! lol

Think like this - if he married so quickly, he might not have chosen wisely.
It wasn't exactly quick. I obviously don't know how long they were dating, but we broke up 5 years ago when he was 24, so I suppose he's older and more mature now.

Perhaps it would be more productive to think about why you are single 5 years later?

I agree with you on the it wasn't that quick, but I think there are things for you to think about from this.

It's natural to wonder what exes are doing and with the invention of social media, it is all too easy to figure it out. However, why are you so unhappy about the news that someone that you haven't spoken to in five years has gotten married? Why haven't you been dating since? Did you expect him to pine after you for five years and crawl into a hole? Why does it matter to you what his wife looks like?

Also, the thing about his wife. How she looks is irrelevant, because you're not competing with her.

Is this how all women think?

Why do you want to know what she looks like?

They must feel they will never find anybody good like them thus hoping for a lonely ending to say, "See!! No one could put up with you!!!"
I remember one evening when my college girlfriend said, "One day you're going to be sorry you missed out on me." In some respects, she was right. In others? Naaaaah. People break up for a reason, it's just the natural flow of things.

You would know that, not me. I highly doubt that's the case.

I was just saying, perhaps it would be more productive to worry about what you're doing and why you're doing it, not what someone else from your past that you've had no contact with for 5 years is doing.

Now see, that's where this starts and it only leads to more. Don't torture yourself.
