My ex has the ego of a 20 feet tall man. He thinks I'm jealous of his current relationship and that he is getting married again next year. It's been four years since our divorce, we're still friends and civil to each other, but I have absolutely no romantic interest in him any longer (especially physically!) Should I intentionally burst his bubble for my amusement?

If you truly did not care then it would not bother you at all what he thought or didn't think. He just might be reading something in you that you are in denial about. Let it go, if you really are not jealous then he will be the one appearing as a fool to think otherwise. Who cares what he does to boost his ego. Take care of self and do not let what he does affect you. Best of luck!

No.
As fun as that would be, it would probably be less fun when he responds with pitying you because you clearly are putting on a brave face for his benefit *sob, wail, kick him*.
If you want to really get him, give his new wife a wedding gift -- one of your old teddies, with a note that says, "He was always partial to this one."
:-D
Seriously, the best (probably the only) way you can show him it really doesn't bother you is to not let it bother you. If you see the two of them together, walk up to them, smile, shake her hand and say "Congratulations. I wish you two all the happiness in the world."

Heh, yeah, but instead of telling him directly, you should tell his fiance, in front of him, that if there's anything you can do to help her through the difficult times ahead, just give you a call, lol. Then give her a warm hug and a sympathetic pat on the back, all the while ignoring him completely.

My ex boyfriend cheated on me with a pregnant girl (not his child), then decided since I didn't want kids, (hello I was 19), he wanted to be with her. Anyway, I see them a few weeks later, and I go up to her and him, and say Congratulations on your upcoming wedding, I wish you both all the happiness in the world. I smiled real big and walked off. He had a priceless expression on his face and she was blood red mad in the face. Oh what a feeling!

I wouldn't do it for the amusement factor. However I do think that just by having that conversation with him, definitely classifies you as the more mature adult. By talking with him civilily offering your congrats and best wishes. It's not about him....it's more about you...giving you less aggravation and possible awkard moments to deal with because they "think" you have an issue with them

Don't say anything to him, just show up to the wedding with a better looking guy...... preferably his wife's ex ... LOL .... that should bring his ego down a bit

Although you would momentarily feel good about it, it's not really worth it. He would probably snap back with something about you're just denying that you're jealous because you really are very jealous.
For your own fustrations sake... Let it go and let him live in his own little world. You're both much happier that way.

If you do - and it is true that his ego is that big - then he will take it as the exact opposite anyway... and think that you just can't get over him... I say - don't worry about what he thinks... he is your ex so why worry about his fantasies???

What makes him think that you are upset? Guess his ego is really that big! I think you shouldn't even waste your time trying to convince him of anything....
