I don't have a sexual question—I've found a great GGG woman!—but I do have a relationship question for you.

I am marrying said GGG woman later this year. My ex-wife and I split on good terms a few years ago. We don't really talk anymore, mainly becuase we've both moved on. Should I go out of my way to talk to her to let her know I'm getting remarried? Is it a "nice" thing to do since we parted on good terms, or would it come off as rubbing-it-in-her-face that I'm getting married?

Syrupy Conscience Has Me Obsessive

P.S. I don't have any naked pictures of me to send in, so hopefully the adorable face of my dog Zoey will melt your heart in my favor!

I am running around New York City—something that normally wouldn't prevent me from tossing up a SLLOTD. But I didn't sleep at all last night (for no good reason—I wasn't living it up) and my brain feels like mush. So I picked your letter from today's stack because, hey, it's so simple, right? Call or don't call? Pick one. But I don't even trust myself, in my present state, to answer your simple question, SCHMO, without screwing it up.

I mean, SCHMO could give his ex a call, just as a courtesy, but if they're so out of touch that SCHMO's ex doesn't even know he's engaged... is a call really necessary? Why not leave well enough alone? But when SCHMO's ex finds out that he remarried—and that's inevitable in our socially nitwitted/networked age—she may regard the fact that he didn't at least call as evidence that he's an asshole. But she already divorced him, right? So SCHMO's ex's low opinion of SCHMO is 1. already established and 2. kinda irrelevant because they're not in contact with each other anymore. So where's the harm not calling and perhaps unintentionally reaffirming SCHMO's ex's decision to divorce SCHMO in the first place?

Anyhoo... I'm obviously of no earthly use to anyone in my present condition. So I'm going to step aside. Vote!

SCHMO should...

And after you vote go ahead and debate away in comments.
