Have You Ever Tried To Make Your Ex Jealous?

Don't front--I know you've fantasized about bumping into your ex in the company of a studly new boyfriend, looking your very best and totally, completely over what's-his-name. But how far would you go to unleash the Green-Eyed Monster on your ex? As far as Kate Gosselin from Jon & Kate Plus 8, who recently split from hubby? Click through to see what I'm talking about:

I will say this: the woman is in good shape for a mom of eight.

Who goes out to check in the mail in a bikini, especially when she knows the paparazzi is laying in wait? A woman who's trying to get some attention, that's who.

I've never busted out my Speedo to provoke an ex, but if I have daydreamed about bumping into her on a particularly good hair day. And if we were to meet, I would definitely present my current life situation in the best possible light. Would I date someone she knew just to make her jealous? Of course not. But would I flirt with same acquaintance? Maybe.

    I think its funny to have the ex look at you in that crazy I miss you look, and you shake your buns as you walk as if "see what your missin out on?!" And then they realize what they missed out on. Call it immature, but its an ego boost. It makes you feel and show that your good with being on your own, or without him/her. My opinion anyway...

    I have never tried to make my ex jealous, but I do know that he is miserable with the new wife (my sons tells me) and that she doesnt cook, clean or do anything fun, so really he down graded! Im sure he knows he was wrong to get rid of me, but I am the lucky one cause by not rushing into to something as soon as we split, I have taken my time and found something great! So I am pretty dang happy.

    Oh i have! I split with my ex due to infidelity and hadn't seen or spoken to him for approximately 6 months. Well about 2 weeks ago I was with some friends and we decided to grab a bite. As we sat down to eat, I grabbed my purse and was gonna head to the restroom and there in the center of the restaurant was my ex. I quickly sat back down and acted as if I hadn't seen him (and prayed he hadn't seen me). But he did, walked up to me and we talked for a while. As me and my friends were leaving they told me that he was looking at me like he wanted me back. But CAT is totally right! Its a total Ego Booster!!

    I dont want my ex to be jealous I really hope that he finds a good woman the way I have a good man and could be as hapy as I am. Jealousy is such an ugly thing.

    I think its right to make an ex jealous , by getting a better guy and the fast think we women should do is to be in great shape and dress even more sexy than usual that alone will bring him back .

    I have definitely tried to make an ex jealous and it worked and guess what we are working on 3 and a half years and have 1 little girl. He had cheated on me I found out and left. Well I found out that he was going to be at a club with his "girlfriend" so I got dressed up called a girlfriend and guy friend and we headed to the club. We walked in and he saw me and grabbed my arm and tried to talk to me. I kept walking directly to dance floor with guy friend and danced the best I think I ever have before. Then I spotted his "girlfriend" who was not old enough to be in the club and definitely not old enough to buy her own drinks so I went to the bar and bought her a drink and took it to her and told her that I knew she wasn't old enough to do that herself. He grabbed me again trying to talk to me. They started arguing and left. About 20 minutes later he showed back up alone and was trying to get me to leave with him. Needless to say a lot of talking and working on things later we worked it out and are still going strong. As a matter of fact last week he got my first and middle name tattooed on his neck!!
