So why is it whenever I feel like things are going pretty damn well in my life, someone or something has to pop up to remind me how much better my ex is doing?
Am I petty for caring? Probably. But there’s nothing wrong with wanting to feel smug and awesome in the face of an almost universally (or at least regionally) recognized douche bag, who could stand to be kicked down from his self-propped pedestal, even if temporarily.
I hate it though. It diminishes the value of the what is going great in my life and makes me feel ungrateful. So goddammit people, help me out, and don’t tell me about his gorgeous new girl or bad ass job or incredible travels. Really. At least allow me the illusion of superiority.—Bitter, better, cookie batter

Get the fuck over it, kid. My late ex ended up a multi-millionaire after forcing me into bankruptcy and, my successor, the red-headed little c*nt who suckled on to him like a retarded leech, lives in far better digs than I could ever afford. It used to bug me until I discovered he wasn’t as happy as I thought – sure, he had all the toys and travels and I had 20 year old furniture and a rusty old stationwagon but I think, ultimately, I fared waaaaayyyy better than he did.
I’m with TTFN, my ex-wife is better off than me too, but it’s her life to live, I’m happy for her, and I have no regrets about the life I’m currently living. It’s better to go on being yourself and staying positive than to let the ex bring you, and everyone around you down without actually being there.
Try it OP, live up only to yourself.
I’ve always said that once you’re single after a divorce, you are now CEO of yourself. Remember, OP, things might not be as brilliant as you think – real life has a way of intruding on people like your ex.
I can still hear my ex 12 years ago, asking me over a cup of coffee at Perks: ‘Could you introduce me to a nice lady?’ (he was married to the crunt at the time – cross between a c@nt and a runt) – my response: ‘I can’t think of anyone I hate that much.’
chief executive officer indeed.
and sounds like a pretty bad break if you’re not wanting someone you’ve enjoyed to be miserable.
well, I suppose, there are no good breaks… but really… you’ve still got your shit do deal with. You want him out of your life completely, don’t let him phase you.
Eh, don’t worry about it, OP. I still delight in the fact that I’m WAY hotter than my ex’s current gfs, and upon further evaluation, I have WAY more going for me in different aspects than they do. It’s totally ok to smile when you think about that shit (as long as you don’t make it a daily/obsessive occurance — I RARELY ever think about my exes, but on the odd occassion that something reminds me of them, i will) Just think of how miserable you’d be if you were still with him. Obv. he wasn’t the one — focus on what you have going for you and screw everyone else.
