Sonolumino Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Should I congratulate my ex on her new boyfriend? I figure I'd just send a simple text saying "Congrats on the new bf :)" or something like that. I'd like to remain friends with her and I thought this would be a friendly gesture. Yes or no?

BeagleGal Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 WHAT? F*ck no! Why would you?? She's got a new boyfriend, big deal. Its not like she found a cure for AIDS or did something absolutely extraordinary. Leave it be. Leave her be. Do you think she would congratulate you if she found out you were dating someone new? I should re-read your past threads to see what the dealio is between you and her and I think its nice you want to stay on good terms but I think its a bit much to congratulate her on a new man. Don't bother. Link to post Share on other sites
Author Sonolumino Posted September 30, 2010 Author Share Posted September 30, 2010 Ok sounds good. Thanks. I don't have much feelings for her anymore, I just thought it would be a nice thing to do. I'm not sure how it would look though, which I'm asking advice Link to post Share on other sites
BeagleGal Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Well my dear, I am glad you asked for advise before doing it! It'll just make you almost look like a p*ssy, to be quite honest. That's my opinion. And I say that because if my ex did that to me, I'd think he was a bit of a loser who hasn't really gotten over me or something along those lines. And you dont want her thinking anything like that with you. I'm sure no one hear wants her thinking that of you... ! So just leave it be. Link to post Share on other sites
Author Sonolumino Posted September 30, 2010 Author Share Posted September 30, 2010 Oh ok, I honestly didn't even think about it like that! Because if she did it to me I'd be like "Oh ok", and not think much of it. Haha I guess that's why there's this forum. I appreciate it. Link to post Share on other sites
grungesponge Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 I agree. I think it makes you look desperate and I question your intention to be friends with her. Link to post Share on other sites

FootballGuy Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 It's not a good idea. Link to post Share on other sites
Author Sonolumino Posted October 1, 2010 Author Share Posted October 1, 2010 Got it. Thank you. I sometimes have problems understanding social norms, so I figured I'd ask. Link to post Share on other sites
silic0ntoad Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 Yeah, um, what they said above. No happy b-day or merry what-the-****-ever holidays she celebrates either. Link to post Share on other sites
hurt and devastated Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 I think the point has been made, but just in case....it would be along the lines of apologising to her if she cheated on you. You just don't do it. Link to post Share on other sites
