What should we do?

I am getting married soon. My boyfriend has an ex-girlfriend who does not know that we are getting married. She will call every 3 months or so. What is the best way for him to tell his former girlfriend? Should he call her, email, or just let her find out through others?

Heres an idea for you.If hes close to her and they still talk then he should tell her,either via phone or in person.But if things arent so great between them,and he doesnt know what to do either then i wouldnt worry and let her find out through the grapevine so to speak.i hope this helps.

I wouldn't do anything. She will find out anyway. The next time she calls, he can mention it when she asks what's new. The way I look at it- she's an ex, what diference does it make?

What's the driving motivation behind telling her? Do you want her to know that he is officially off the market because of you? Since they talk only 3 or 4 times a year this is a distant acquaintance and not a close friend. If you are doing wedding announcements you could add her to the list. Actually having your fiance tell her should be pretty low on the priority list.

Congratulations on your pending wedding!
