  Which partner <g> my ex is on his second one since January..I never got to see the one he left me for..but everyone has told me she was a "hot mess"..Got to see her replacement last weekend...Let's just say she must have a nice personality....Tell ya what seeing her was a boost to my ego, I'm normally pretty shy, but that nite, it was one of those times when everything fell into place, hair, clothes, heels and I looked good! The ultimate revenge, being happy, looking good and moving on

  My ex can go jump off a cliff, as far as I am concerned.

  Personally, I prefer he downgrade,

  because that's what my last ex did. It amuses me how people compare his current girlfriend with me and say that I'm clearly better. It sounds really cocky and conceited, but it's better that way. People don't look at it as him having bad taste, but that he lost a great person and he's clearly going down in what he wants. That makes him look way less than perfect and boosts me.

  It doesn't matter to me if it's an upgrade or downgrade, he's obviously happy so that's all that matter. I wish all my exes the best, even the jerk that was married and failed to tell me. I refuse to focus on their lives and become consumed by it, i have my own life to live.

  I prefer them to downgrade. Luckily, that's happened for me with all my exes. My most recent ex has been dating this girl who's sallow-skinned with horse's teeth, beady eyes and an almost completely flat chest. I once caught him checking me out when he was with her...haha.

  I think it depends on how it ended. Naturally if he ended it with you, you'll want his next to be a down grade. If you ended it with him, you'd still hope he finds happiness.

  BUT - for me? I am not a jealous person, but I am incredibly possesive. So as hard as I try the ex is stil "mine". Which means I'd like to know I'm still better than anyone he dates after me. In fact, I'm happy that he can't seem to get over me even though he's dating again. I'm the worst kind of selfish.

  I don't hold much value in looks, so I think I'd much rather have my ex date a supermodel moron who's clingy and has bad breath - then to see him with a normal girl who's funny, smart, and successful.

  My ex-husband did both. He ended up with a girlfriend that everyone said was an attempt to replace me. We do look a lot alike. He downgraded in the fact that she has a lot of health problems and even more baggage with 3 kids and an abusive ex-husband. He upgraded in the respect that she wanted to work in the same industry he did and they now own a business and are doing very well.
