One of my exes was in a band that toured and was reviewed in Kerrang! - well done him!

One of my exes became a music producer - he was always going to tbf

One of my exes is now a woman - Shock didn't see that one coming!

One of my exes got married despite leaving me for a man - Hmm

One of my exes is considerably less attractive than he was when he was young and skinny and I was desperately in love with him - Grin

One of my exes is now married to a girl who was a close friend of mine at the time and who hated him at the time! - who knew!

That's all for now. Might look for a few more later!

How many exes do you have? Shock Grin

valiumredhead · 24/11/2011 17:44

One of mine is bald!!!! He used to be a drummer and look like Bon Jovi! Shock

A few. Although I am including anyone I went out with on a few dates or so! I'm bored!

Er, yeah, despite being apparently a feckless and immoral single mother, I don't have enough exes to make this interesting and I already know what all the significant ones are doing. But I'm glad someone out there is still shocked that bisexuals exist!

One of mine married a Thai bride

Bucharest · 24/11/2011 17:56

One of mine is bald!!! He used to be a drummer......(he is also married to a woman he used to call Pilchard! (because she had a funny Gale from Coronation Street face)

One of mine (who used to drink whisky out of mugs with me and want to run away to Thailand and cry over Bob Dylan songs ) is now some wanky PR blogger (who still owes me 500 squid)

Another who was/is a singer in a tribute band is still a singer in a tribute band but is fat and has a wife who can't spell or use apostrophes and calls everyone "hunny" on her FB.

The one I want to find though appears to be either a technophobe or dead.Though I've found all his brothers and mates.

Not that I've been looking or anything Grin

valiumredhead · 24/11/2011 17:57

bucharest does his first name begin with A?????

TroublesomeEx · 24/11/2011 17:57

I'm not shocked that bisexuals exist. It was just a bit of a surprise to see he was married that's all! The last I heard he was happily living with a man that's all. Sheesh! Is there nothing people won't be offended by!

Ooo, yes, the one you really want to find is never there.

valiumredhead · 24/11/2011 17:59

I'd be a bit shocked that someone I thought I knew wel and went out withl was bi or gay and I hadn't known.

valiumredhead · 24/11/2011 18:00

Or indeed the other way round

valiumredhead · 24/11/2011 18:00

Or a woman!!!

sillymillyb · 24/11/2011 18:02

One of mine is about to be in the paper this weekend outed as being, well, professional scum...

One of mine is married to the girl he cheated on me with when she was a 15 year old school kid and he was her teacher.

And one of mine is now a teatotal buddhist.....

Is it wrong that its the latter of those 3 that suprises me most?!

valiumredhead · 24/11/2011 18:02

Or bald in my case!

Merrylegs · 24/11/2011 18:03

You know they will know you have peeked - website trackers etc mwah ha ha.... expect a few 'friend' requests imminently. Grin

hellsbells76 · 24/11/2011 18:07

Oh God I shouldn't have joined in this. The first one I found is now a literary agent with an amazing client list, runs an indie clubnight on the side and is considerably better looking at nearly 40 than he was at 20

wish I'd stuck with him now

shallow

valiumredhead · 24/11/2011 18:10

Which is the complete opposite to how I felt when I discovered my baldie hells Grin

hellsbells76 · 24/11/2011 18:14
Grin

will not send friend request, will not send friend request, will not...

TroublesomeEx · 24/11/2011 18:19

send it hellsbells. You know you want too.....

Merrylegs Shock at least my name won't be on it... As for FB. Well I'd be happy to get a request!

Pleased they all seem to be doing ok and happy tbh. Not bitter about any of them. Smile

TroublesomeEx · 24/11/2011 18:20

although I look quite different now, and I'm married so I look different and I've got a different name. Not sure they'd recognise me anyway...

One of my ex's met, impregnated and married another woman within 4 mths of us breaking up- clearly he wasn't as devestated as I was!

One of my ex's went on to be a professional rugby player.

One of my ex's married a mutual friend of ours.

My most recent ex has started dating a woman who is stunning and everyone keeps telling me so! :) (not bothered though as I am happy with my new partner) still funny though!

Bucharest · 24/11/2011 18:32

Valium, no, not A but K. (naffo 80s Kevin no less lol)

I would be more than happy for them to see me on FB, I look a damn sight better at 46 than I did at 20 (with my frizzy Bonnie Tyler hairdo)

They can't really see we've been looking can they?

hellsbells76 · 24/11/2011 18:35

nooooo. I doubt he'd even remember me. I only remember him because he was waaaay out of my league even then :(

Just found another one. No online presence beyond literally thousands of posts on a old gits car users forum. Now there's one I'm glad did get away Grin

BupcakesandCunting · 24/11/2011 18:52

One of mine is now fat, bald and resembles Boy George. Boy George NOW that is, not when he was a pretty Karma Chameleon. Now, with his painted fat neck.

Another of mine is living with his life partner Tom in Brighton (yes I WAS shocked as had no clue that he was bisexual! Not the same as being shocked that bisexual people exist and I like a bit of clunge meself)

One is still unemployed, living with his mother and generally behaving like a teenager. Not so attractive when 40 is looming, mate...

Another is an accomplished singer/songwriter. Not actually a "proper" ex but I need something to redress the balance in this list of deadbeats. Wink

BupcakesandCunting · 24/11/2011 18:53

Also, inhaled a bit of HobNob laughing at this...

"

and it lodged in my windpipe for a few seconds. Angry
