Your Ex Is Looking For You!

I just got a notice from some people finder site, saying my ex was looking for me.
Of course I immediately deleted it. Those sites send you messages like that, then when/if you go to see who it was, you sign up, only to find out it was a ploy to get you to sign up with them. Pfffffttttttt!
But, after I trashed the e-mail, I was just sitting here thinking, Which of my ex's would I even want to get back in touch with? I very quickly came to the conclusion that it would be NONE of them.
I could not think of one single ex that I have any interest in. My life is good, not perfect, but it is very good, and I have no desire to even wonder what might have been.
So, if you knew that an ex was looking for you, would you want him/her to find you? Would you meet up with them, just to see what they may have made of their lives? Or, would you just go on about your life, not caring one way or the other?

The only ex I ever think about is my first hubs, and I WANT him to find me. I need to tear a strip off him for the way he's treating our sons. So if you find him, direct him my way. I'm in a pissy mood today and he's my target of choice! ROFL

I hope you find him soon. My pissy mood won't last forever and he REALLY needs to be on the receiving end of it! ROFL

If I run across him somewhere, I will be sure to send him your way, Sparks!

I have no desire, not even an INKLING of want, to get in touch with my past in this way. Any email like the one you received would be binned immediately and my life would go on in blissful ignorance! They have the word "EX" in front of their title for a reason! 
If there was any chance or desire on my part to remain friends with anyone from my past, then I would have stayed in touch with them in the first place and they wouldn't NEED to be trying to locate me!

I'm always getting emails that someone is looking for me! That's just spam of course. No, if one of my ex's was looking for me I wouldn't care. I've made my peace with them and I'm very happy with my husband.

I have one ex who found me on e-mail and we conversed a little about how our lives were and stuff like that. But I have no real interest in meeting up and certainly not anything further than that...

I think the only way I would even talk to any of mine would be if I accidentally ran into one somewhere.......and that is assuming I would even recognize them in the first place.

I'd run and hide, sign up for witness protection program, change my name, anything to keep an ex from finding me. They're ex's for a reason.2 people like this

Well I for one feel X's are X's for a reason, I would consider why we broke up and then go from there. because 9 times out of 10 people who break up on good terms usually continue to be good friends on the other had some end in bad terms and don't want anything to do with the other person.
I had an incident with an X not to long ago I just recently got married and he decided after I got married that I was the only one for him LOL.. Go figure. and he tried his best to contact me through myspace and what not to just meet and talk... and I thought to myself WHY, talk about what... even ifs its just to see how lif is going. there was no way I was going to disrespect my husband and his trust for a man that I now call X... so he got mad and never contacted me again.. and then I remembered why we broke up before LOL... I wouldn't do it..

There's a reason they're called ex's seems to be the consensus here, and I have to agree.

Hi Bo,
Those people finders are a farce as far as I'm concerned. They try and get your attention by saying things like ex or a man orsomething they think we can't resist.
As far as ex's I know what my first ex is doing and where he is. He is being a good Father to our 28 year old Son who is Bipolar and needs his Dad. My second husband passed away in 2002. I hope he's watching over me. That's it when it comes to ex's. So, Bo, how many do you have? xoxoxo

No ex husbands, only ex boyfriends. I have been married for 31 years. But, if you want to know about those, 5. And, I have no idea where any of them are, or what they have done with their lives. I don't even know if I would know any of them if I ran into them on the street.*L* Better, yet, it wouldn't matter because I don't think any of them would recognize me!

Hey bo! I feel the same way as you do! I would have had to
delete! I have no X's that I would even want to know about!
They are X's for a good reason! I am not even the slightest
bit curious about any of them! So not matter even if it was
true I would still delete and never care about looking back
or wondering for a minute!

I will admit, there were times in the past, that I wondered what I had given up with one or two. But, I quickly realized that I would never have had what I have now with any of them. That was a long time ago, and as I said before, my life is good, and that is the way I want to keep it.

For me when I enggaged or married with someone.. I 'll never see the past. I'll never see all ex again. Cause their exist will make some uncomfortable between me and husband. At now, husband ex wanna met my husband. But my husband never care and never wanna meet with her again. Let husband ex on her way.. without come to us again. Seem extremely but I think this is the best we can do.

You are right. Most of the time, the past needs to stay in the past.

I KNOW it's spam! I think I even said that in the discussion starter.
It just made me think about the subject, that's all.

If I knew for sure, I'd see if I could contact them and ask...politely, why they needed to find me. If it was because they just wanted to, depending on who it was, I'd probably feel skeptical.
I loved these people, some of them I'll always love...so I'd feel just a slight obligation to see if they were in some sort of trouble.
Anything else I can't really say...I'd just have to take it all one step at a time, make decisions based on whatever information I'd find out.

If I still have feelings for that certain ex then I would make an effort to meet with him again, but only if i still am interested and our break-up was not caused by any third party or something too extreme. But, I am also happy with my life and with a new partner so i will not make an effort to meet any ex anyway! Hehe! -cherry

Well sometimes I feel I really want my ex to see me. Just for him to know how happy I am with my husband now.
But sometimes I feel that I'll puke if I ever seen him again. I don't want to see someone made me feel miserable all my time staying with him.
And there are other times that I just don't feel anything, see him, not seeing him, all are the same. I don't know what you call this but the more important thing to me is that I know that I'm happy now and I just wish nothing bad happens and interrupt this happiness.
