One of my ex boyfriends got married early this month. I know this because his mom still emails me - 4 years after we broke up. The break up was my doing - he wanted to get married and I didn't. Less then a year later I met a great guy and married him, we've been married over a year now. Anyway, I have been waiting to get an email from my ex's mom regarding the wedding. 3 weeks have passed and nothing! No emails from her. Is this odd? Don't most people like to brag about their children's weddings to everyone they know? When I got married, I emailed her pictures from our wedding and everything. My ex has no problem with her writing to me and even gave her the OK to do so...do you think she's not truly happy that he's wedded now? Why wouldn't she write?

A few weeks prior to the wedding, she specifically asked her son if it was OK to write to me and he said yes - so I don't think she's not writing because she's "moved on" from me. I guess I was just expecting an email right away, right after the wedding because usually she writes me quite often. It is unusual not to hear from her.

That's nice that you and your ex's mom are still friendly, I think that's very mature.
Maybe she doesnt have pictures or maybe she feels weird about sharing them with you.
Did you email her with a "how was the wedding? I'd love to see the dresses!" email?

Well he's married now so maybe his wife has asked her mother in law to stop emailing his ex. It can't be comfortable for his wife to think that you will know everything about them from the wedding onwards. When is it going to stop? I think it just did.

I just think maybe she feels it is an awkward situation. I think you are reading too much into that she might not be happy he is married! I think she may just feel weird telling her son's ex that he is now married, regardless of the fact that you are now married as well. It's just all around kind of weird! And maybe she thinks that you might feel bad that you weren't invited! Who knows, but really seems weird to me that you even care this much!!

My opinion is she now has the new daughter in law and feels she may be betraying her by having contact with you. It is not odd that she hasn't contacted you. It sounds like she has finally moved on and put the past in the past. I think the oppisite. I think she is happy now and is focusing on her daughter in law. It is not unusual for this to happen. Life goes on and I think that is what has happened. I think now you must go on and not worry about your ex and his wedding.

Maybe she thinks you wouldnt be happy to know about the wedding and the girl who married her son.It doesnt really mean that shes not happy because her son got married.it makes no sense.

It seems like you are waiting for word that your ex's mom is unhappy with him being married...why is that? Why would you make the assumption that, just because you haven't heard from her that means that she's not happy with her son getting married? Do you still have a thing for him?

maybe she's busy. Why do you even care? Its not like you're best friends...you're just emailing buddies. If you are so curious, then ask her how it was. I'm not tryin to be a b*tch, but why do you automatically think the mother isn't happy! thats a far out suggestion.

Maybe she is busy with other activiities and her son's ex girlfriend is just not a priority. She may feel that now that he is married that you are no longer part of the equation.

Who cares if the ex got married or not. Focus on your own wedding pictures and be glad you didn't marry the ex.

I am sure that his mother is happy that he is married. I think that she has had enough of you using her a the middle man to still peer in on what is going on in your EX boyfriends life. Spend the time with your own marriage instead of still thinking about him. You still haven't got over him.
