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!

Mine are boring.

stalking looking up DH's exes is far more creepy interesting.

NotTheBlinkingGruffaloAgain · 24/11/2011 21:20

One of mine is now a successful fashion designer

One is a Dr

(but he had major OCD so I don't care that my partner is on minimum wage) Wink

SlightlyJaded · 24/11/2011 22:22

One of mine (the one I still hanker after occasionally) is a sucessful film director

One of mine is married to the girl he left for me and then went back to after me.
He's an engineer

One of mine is a martial arts instructor

One of mine is a pointless non-contributor to society who is probably still getting stoned and writing bad lyrics

And the one that makes me hang my head in shame - the one I probably cried the most over - the one I sobbed about because I loved him and he treated me apallingly. The one all my friends said was a twat, oh god I can hardly say it, it's so embarrasing..... [deep breath]one of mine (who is late thirties/early forties so doubly embarrasing) sings in a tribute band

There I've said it. The shame

Am going to try and find my one and only 'one night stand' now. If I can remember his surrname Blush

BabyGiraffes · 24/11/2011 22:34

slightly Grin

mumofthreekids · 24/11/2011 22:38

Ooh didn't realise we were doing one night stands as well. Well bugger me he looks peculiar with bleached blond hair and writes a fucking dull blog about telecommunications. Still love those dimples though :)

RachelHRD · 24/11/2011 22:41

My ex-fiance is now married to someone 20 years younger than him - he always was a controlling barsteward so makes sense he married someone young enough to be his daughter.

One now lives in France, has a beer belly and 2 kids and isn't the sexy older man any more!!

One lives in Aus and has lost his beautiful hair and is married with a daughter

One lives in Scotland and is married with 2 kids and is still quite cute and I found myself daydreaming about him yesterday - I still see him occasionally as he is a friend of Dsis and DBIL.......

SlightlyJaded · 24/11/2011 22:42

Have just been watching lots of YouTube video of my one night stand demonstrating something really fucking dull about racing motorbikes

Oh god that was close - I can imagine the rows we'd be having about his 'hobby' now. The relief almost makes up for the shame of the tribute band singer Grin

WilsonFrickett · 24/11/2011 22:46

If you can remember his surname, it wasn't a one night stand.

I can't remember most of their first names

Bucharest · 25/11/2011 06:21

Another! Married to the girl he was with at uni when he "had to shag me to get me out of his system before he could get engaged to her" Hmm.

Bucharest · 25/11/2011 06:23

Atyourcervix-I've actually seriously wondered if my missing one is dead. He was the sort of person who might be. And I find it odd that his frankly peasanty brothers are on t'web and he's not.

StealthPenguin · 25/11/2011 06:34

Mine has left everything on his Facebook completely open so I now know:

a) that he's fatter, spottier and greasier than when he was a fucking child and told his mother to come to my workplace to get back the engagement ring we separated.
b) the address of his new flat in a very very VERY scummy area that is well-renowned for violence, drug abuse and general scummyness.
c) his mobile number must remember to post it on CraigsList
d) the fact that, while he is plugging his computer "business" daily, is simultaneously moaning about how his Jobseekers Allowance hasn't been paid to him due to a computer error, and that if he didn't like "fxxing up da sistum" so much, then he wouldn't bother claiming, as he "dont need no fxxin guvernmunt moneyz" because his parents, god bless them, still pay for everything.

I am absolutely creased. Fucking brilliant!

katkitya · 25/11/2011 07:04

One is a singer in a tribute band at the grand old age of nearly 50. One is a singer in a proper band that used to be good. One is a roadie. Is there a theme here? One has five sons ( he never wanted children) one is married to a school teacher and still looks like Martin Kemp. I will continue tonight when Ive had a glass of wine. Thank goodness they can't see who's looked!

Bucharest · 25/11/2011 07:09

Eeek at new and slightly surreal MN quiche of tribute band singers.....Grin

mumofthreekids · 25/11/2011 07:18

Katkiya, which band that used to be good?? (I'm just nosey cos all mine are so dull)

2blessed2bstressed · 25/11/2011 08:06

One of mine is director of big company and married to wife no.3, one is still session musician working with some fairly well known people (I wish him well, was what he always wanted), and one died when he was 25 Shock

mumofthreekids · 25/11/2011 08:19

Loved them all (not the ONS obviously!) and wish them well even the bastard who dumped me on valentine's day

Thanks FolkGirl for this little nostalgia trip.

i love facebook for this reason it's like being a secret spy or somthing. you find out things you woulden't always know.

DesperatelySeekingPomBears · 25/11/2011 10:28

One is married, in a well paid, sensible job, with a rather cute toddler daughter.

Another is still bar managing and playing rugby and being a general cheeky chappy.

The third still looks like Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall's uglier, hairier brother and has the audacity to still have pictures of us together on his myspace.

BabyGiraffes · 25/11/2011 11:18

... just slightly relieved that no one can easily find me if they don't know my married name.... Phew.

mumofthreekids · 25/11/2011 12:35

Yes BabyGiraffes we married women are def at an advantage in that respect! Did you hear back from the ex you messaged???

DoesNotGiveAFig · 25/11/2011 12:46

One of mine is bald (after having lovely hair, longer and thicker than mine, bit of a rockstar wannabe) and married with a baby; Another is living his life as an 18 year old despite being 30; and another is engaged to be married to a much older, normal shaped brunette woman who has two little ones (I mention as he always wanted me to be (white)blonde, orange and stick insect thin). The last one was my first bf and wanted to get me up the duff at 17 "to get a house". Totally dumped him.

HazleNutt · 25/11/2011 12:58

One of mine has married an Ukrainian girl and when I read their wedding website, apparently there was a serious overlap there, as I was dating him for a significant part of their relationship. I had no idea, of course, neither did she I suspect.

One of my exes who was so proud that he was so fit and was always hinting that I should lose weight (I was not fat) is now chubby and balding. Ha. And his wife came as package deal with 2 little ugly dogs - he always hated pets as was a bit OCD and said they were filthy.
