My ex-boyfriend is getting married...why am I sad?
I found out through mutual friends that my ex-boyfriend is getting married. Just today, I recieved a group email from him with the news that, not only is he getting married, but that his fiance is 3 1/2 months pregnant. It has been four years since we've been together and I am completely happy that it ended, so why am I feeling so sad?

Well, at some point you cared for this person. That part of you is probably remembering any good times you had - and also any expectations you had of the relationship lasting longterm.
It's quite normal to feel sad about this...especially as it may mean that your ex is moving on with his life before you are. Marriage isn't everything, though, and if you're happy the relationship ended then you're in the right place at the right time, for you.
Go with the feelings, as they're normal. It's okay to feel sad when someone manages to find happiness with a person that didn't mesh well with you, but it's no judgement on you as a person.
Stick with remembering that no matter how you feel now, you are happy it's over. I'm sure there were solid reasons the relationship ended, and if you feel particularly blue you can think about these again.
Best of luck.
