My Ex Beat Me To The Altar

I prepared myself, and pushed "Evil Ex's New Phone." It rang a few times, and I silently prayed "voicemail-voicemail-voicemail!" But, I'm never that lucky.

He answered, and I explained quickly what I had found to fix the issue. I tried to get to "take care and goodbye!" as quickly as I could. Before I could get it out, he interrupted me.

"Oh, by the way, I got married."

I stuttered and said, "Congratulations" — in my head it was "Good luck and hope she can put up with your bullshit." He thanked me, and started rambling about their wedding and honeymoon. I interrupted him and said that I had to go. He sounded irked, but I couldn't have cared less. So, I said my "take care and goodbye" and hung up the phone.

I wish I could say that I felt something about his big news, but to be honest, I didn't feel anything — except pity for his poor bride. There isn't a rule book for this type of thing, so I'm not sure if what I'm feeling is normal or not. Any words of wisdom out there from First Wives World readers?
