Running into your Ex Post-MFP?

Not weight loss, but puberty hit me super late so there's a ton of former classmates from high school who have had some interesting things to say now that I'm a big boy.
Bitties, I don't play that game - if you ignored me when I wasn't 6'4 with face hair, you're getting the cold shouldies now.
yyyyyyyyyup. I didn't finish growing until freshman year of college. I spent school breaks at home ignoring guys who'd ignored me in high school. I'm not dumb...I noticed that the "wanna hang out" offers only started once I had an hourglass figure. (sidebar: This is part of why I hate the "how to avoid the freshman 15" articles that say that you should come home weighing what you did when you left. If I'd done that, I would have no curves at all, and I love mine, thank you very much. I also do not want to wear the same bra size I graduated high school with.)
No exes in need of revenge though...I only gained and lost weight in the last six years, and I've been with the same guy for 4.5 of those years now. And all but one of the exes before that were good people. I think my favorite ex is getting ready to propose to his girlfriend and I am so excited for him.1 -
My completely petty and shallow confession. One of my Ex's cheated on my with one of my friends. He then married her. We have a lot of common friends so I see them often, and I just smile to myself because she got reallllly big. Karma!4

I hope all of my exes are doing real well, no love lost0

I don't think my ex husband cares how I look, until he sees me with someone else. Then he'll notice.0

Funny how it works out like that.1 -

Yup, they don't want you till someone else does. Then suddenly they don't know how to act.0 -

What about my ex-dungeonmaster?1

I have been in a relationship with the same person for about 18 years. Any ex's I have are from before that time and haven't seen them really as I live in a different state and moved on with my life. I have no stories.

I want to preface this story by saying it happened about 13 years ago.... I've since had medical issues, gained even more weight back but am working on getting back on track... 60lbs down so far.
.
I bumped into my high school sweetheart almost 30 years after he callously broke my heart .... at least that was how I remembered it.
I mean who asks to get together with you a year later and brings his current girlfriend ??? 
.
I had recently lost over 100lbs and looked fab - just ran my first marathon. He looked alot the same - a little thicker around the waist.... and a lot thinner up top. We chatted pleasantly, found we were both happily married, compared notes on children, work, etc and went on our way.
.
I told my girlfriend who had been with me that every single piece of lettuce I ate, every mile I had run, every workout I'd sweated over, every piece of cake I had turned down was worth those 5 minutes.
.
Yeah, I know I shouldn't be so shallow but man I was smiling for days afterward.

I've never been overweight to a point that losing it could be a "payback"....
But my satisfaction comes in that even the ones from high school, aka 20+ years ago, still find their way to my DM's, email, classmates.com throughout the years to see if I'm single/available because "I'm the one that got away"....that's right mofo....

My ex karma story: He wasted 2 years of my life. He disrespected and belittled me, became increasingly cold, convinced me that I was horribly flawed, lied to me and my family, then SURPRISE! Having lied about how long he was stationed in our area, he admitted the Army was moving him soon and he *never* planned on committing to me. (I was a temporary girlfriend the entire time.) He was very excited about PCSing, hoping to get Colorado or anywhere up north. I'm sure he was certain he'd meet a more beautiful, less clumsy woman at his next station.
NOPE! He's alone in Honduras, miserable, bored, probably hooking up with desperate local soldier-groupies and drowning in alcohol and self-loathing.
Meanwhile, I look great. Successful at my job, surrounded by loving friends, enjoying my favorite hobbies again, happily single.

Well, my ex wouldn't be forthcoming about it to say the least. He sees me from time to time as we have a daughter together. But he's too prideful to admit any accomplishments I have made post him. Anyways, it doesn't stop the fact that after three years of separation, just under two years of divorce and even though he has a gf he says he's madly in love with, he still texts me very randomly to get a rise out of me. Threatens me with courts etc. threatens to not pay child support etc which was just this last weekend actually. However, I have lost 72 pounds altogether, 50 or so of which after leaving him. For awhile I didn't see him so he kept texting me non stop all day to let me know how fat and ugly he thinks I am. Saw him at our daughter's kindergarten graduation and he was too salty to even say hello. And left immediately after it giving just a quick hug to our daughter while I sat outside with her taking selfies. I know he doesn't like it and I know he notices because he has yet to call me fat again since. What's worst? He cheated on me with a girl he met on MFP, not physically but in every other way you can imagine. And seeing how they are now in a romantic relationship, he can't really deny it. And I'm really the reason they even met here because he didn't know of this site until I started on it while still married to him. They are both still here but they stay clear from posting in the threads knowing I'm an active part of the site as well. That and according to him, jealousy is an issue due to the threads. Even so, I'm sure he is quite aware of my weight loss and goals I've reached because of this site. Oh well. I was here first? Lol3

^^^ wouldn't say there's much drama there aside from the times he lashed out randomly at me. I on the other hand don't care to speak to him period unless I need to confirm things for our daughter. Other wise, he never gets a text from me initiating any form of conversation. If he has it's highly rare and not at all recent.0

If you want to make him jealous I’m your booboo
You can be my booboo without doing that lol because you're awesome and sarcastic. I don't need him to feel jealous, his anger towards me after 3 years come this December for leaving a cheat filled marriage (she wasn't the only one during our marriage) says all I or anyone needs to know. I really do wish him and her well.... I just really wish he'd learn to leave me out of their relationship for example randomly telling me he's gonna marry her. Well, good for you. Did I not leave so that I wouldn't be the one called Mrs any longer? Lol Luckily, I have learned that what he is looking for is a rise out of me and in order to want one ya gotta still care. And the best revenge of all is not giving him one. Because he can't get one from me he has turned his attention to getting it from her by accusing me of things I wasn't even aware was going on to paint a picture of me being the bad person to her. But I really could give two s***s what either of them think.

Did we just become best friends!??
H**l YES we did
Oh and I should make it clear that according to him they are still here on MFP from what we discussed from long time ago and just not doing the threads. I haven't personally myself seen either, so I guess I can't really confirm or deny in that case so I won't.0 -

Does it count that I am totally shallow and judgy when I go on facebook and all the folks I went to high school with look much, MUCH older and out of shape than I do...if they are even alive? I mean, I pwn it, but I ain't too proud of it. 2
