Exes Trading Down

When you see an ex with someone who is ugly, unemployed, weird/creepy, or any other undesirable qualities, does it make you feel better about yourself that your ex traded down, or do you feel worse about yourself because now an ugly weirdo is fucking the person who previously chose you? Like, you're on the same scale as some ugly weirdo, ya kno.

That's the whole point of the question, genius!

No, the point in the question is putting myself in your shoes and answering based on how I'd feel. If you were smart you'd have understood that I don't care, and just want to prod at your exposed feelings.

Wow you two were made for each other.

Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Psalm 12:6 The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Hebrews 11:3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. Revelation 3:11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.

The question, in essence, was "does it make you feel better because in your eyes she's trading down, or worse because in her eyes she's trading up". Your response was "what if she feels like she's trading up".
You've been an absolute bonehead since you changed your username out of shame. I would recommend just going to growery like the rest of the disgraced shroomerites.

It would be marginally better than you posting in the romp pretending you fit in

All you're doing is pointing out that you don't "get it." Which is fine, it would probably explain this thread really well.

Well this is interesting 
For me, I would probably get a little ego-boast if my Ex "traded down". But if I was single at the time, I might feel a little down on myself as well since being in a relationship is more of a status symbol than being single.

Every ex of mine that is someone I was in a serious relationship with is still my friend, so I always want to see them with excellent guys. I can’t say, though, how I might feel about it if I disliked an ex and she had a dud as a new bf. I’d probably just feel bad for her.

Yeah, this ex I particularly dislike and had a particularly bad falling out with. The only other girl that I would really call my "ex" is still a really close friend of mine and has a cute little baby now and I keep up with her and see her as family almost. This would've never crossed my mind with her, other than the fact that her baby would be getting raised by a weirdo. So I guess I just have some sort of repressed grudge against this girl.

The chick I was talking about had 3 citizenships, our kids could have been anywhere in the world they wanted.
She was mean though and it wasn't worth it.

Personally, I’d just let that shit go. But I’m old and don’t have the energy for grudges any more. Just be glad that you’re with your new, presumably great, gf. I wouldn’t pay any mind at all to an ex I didn’t feel positively about.

That's the problem with social media, man. A few hours ago I hadnt thought of this girl in ages, now I'm reliving repressed nostalgia.
Mostly tho it's kind of an interesting topic, I think. The way we view relationships, possessiveness, and exes is pretty confusing, and varies a lot. But I do not have much relationship experience and am pretty young. Haven't dealt with a lot of it.

Oddly enough, I had a conversation about this last night.
Long story short, my sister-in-law is getting a divorce and her husband's new girlfriend was at their house when she stopped by. Her oldest son tried to get her to leave and not start stuff but she ended up screaming things like "ugly whore!" and "you're fucking a married man!"
Of course my sister-in-law was completely forgetting the fact that she's had a boyfriend for almost as long as she's been married and has absolutely no room to talk (the husband doesn't know she's had a boyfriend for very long)
She complains to my wife about how ugly the girlfriend is and my wife asked her "would you rather her be hot?".
With her, the answer is that she'd be pissed off no matter what but that's just how she is.
The best thing would be to hope for the best for everyone but some people don't have the capacity to look outside themselves and not act like huge hypocrites.
The whole thing makes me sick

Right before I read this post I was gonna say, how about stop following an ex on social media. You shouldn't have an opinion on an ex's current SO because you shouldn't know who he is. Social media is poison

It would bother the fuck out of me if my ex was with a better guy or a worse guy or any guy. Luckily I don't know shit about her life and I intend to keep it that way

Does it bother you to think about all the guys a woman has been with before you too?
