How to Congratulate Your Ex When He Gets Engaged

For whatever reason, you and your ex weren't destined to be together. Depending if you were the dumper or the dumpee, your emotions can vary when you discover he's engaged. If you were the dumper, you may feel relieved and happy that he's found someone that he can spend his life with. On the other hand, if you were the dumpee, you may feel shock and jealousy upon discovering his engagement. Regardless of how you feel, acknowledge the engagement in a way that feels comfortable to you.

Instructions

Think about your purpose in sending congratulations to your ex. Ask yourself if you sincerely want to congratulate him or if you have ulterior motives. Ask yourself if you only want to reopen the lines of communication because you believe he's engaged to the wrong person and you want him back.

Write a short and sweet handwritten note. Write "Wish you all the best on your pending nuptials. I'm truly happy for you." Or write "Congratulations, I heard from a mutual friend that you are going to tie the knot. Wish you and your other half the best that life has to offer!" If you are engaged, mention your engagement.

Send a greeting card that has congratulations printed on it. If the greeting card has words that express how you feel about the engagement, just sign your name at the bottom. If it's a blank greeting card, write "Congratulations! I wish you the best for the future." A greeting card is a good choice if you don't speak to your ex.

Send a Facebook email. If your ex is on Facebook, just send a short message even if he isn't on your friends list. Write "Hey, I heard you are engaged! Congrats!" Facebook is a good way to send congratulations if your ex is frequently on it. If you haven't heard from your ex in a long time, write "Hey, I haven't seen you around in awhile. I heard that you were engaged. Just wanted to say I'm happy for you and congratulations."

Be prepared that your ex isn't going to respond to your message. He may have no interest in responding to someone from his past.

Congratulate your ex in person. If you are still friends with your ex and it wasn't a bad breakup, this is a good choice. Look your best. If you are nervous, take a deep breath before approaching him to calm your nerves. Avoid showing any signs of jealousy or talking about your failed relationship with him. Tell him how happy you are for him and say congratulations.
