I would say tha I have to agree with the previous two commentators. I honestly would take your own advice and "Live your life." Since after all life is short and I deon't think you'd like to end up like this.

I tend to lean towards the opinion of the last poster. Something about this doesn’t ring true in the least, from an emotional or logical standpoint.How do you know that “The girlfriend of a guy I used to date has been reading my blogs”? Considering the anonymity of the Internet how do you know this?
If it was from an online community such as blogcatalog or mybloglog then how would you know who his new girlfriend was unless you were cyberstalking?
“Most girls aren’t wired that way”? Most women read other womens’ blogs. You go on to say “I’m a nice person, and they have been so filled with resentment that they have never bothered to see that” followed by “I don’t have a single one who lives in my town. There’s too much comparison, too much competitiveness.” In the context of exes what is there to compete with? This sounds like self-fulfilling prophecy.
“Pay attention the next time you see a current girlfriend checking out an ex” is a bit strange. 99.999% of the time it’s the old girlfriend checking out the new girlfriend and making snide comments to bolster her self esteem.
“I can pretty accurately predict what she’ll say” “My tits are bigger” “My ass is tighter” “My face is prettier”? Are you this insecure? What kind of conspiratorial conjecture could possibly lead you to believe they’re thinking anything of the sort?
“Exes are exes for a reason. Most of the time, those exes couldn’t give a flying crap about your guy” also seems odd. Why would you give a flying crap about her or what she’s thinking? Or your ex for that matter? And why the snarky animosity?The fact of the matter is that most current girlfriends could care less about an ex unless the ex continues to cause problems. So why is that you continue to “run into” current girlfriends?Presented as such “Live your life” could be more aptly retorted with “Move on.”

While your post may have been elegantly written, I must say that I do not agree. I happen to think that neither of you were right for each other in the first place and for God’s sake you should move on. Besides I value my friends dearly, as I feel thier pain along side them. The people you speak of in these ways I consider family and I find it very uncooth that you would say the things you did. Even if her tits are bigger, her ass is tighter, and face is prettier, you can still be civil about the fact that your former lover has decided to move on. Besides I cannot allow any of my friends to have a relationship with anyone who is more self centered than myself.

Love isn’t about finding the ones we can live with, but rather finding the ones we can’t live without.

What we need to do if find the ex at the end of this chain.

If every girl looks at every other girl and says, that her tits are bigger…ass is tighter…face is prettier…

…then at 5 or 6 exes down the line, there is one super hot Playboy Playmate chick.

That’s my logic and I’m sticking to it.

This is so true. Relationships should be lived in the moment. Unfortunately I must admit that I, too, find myself comparing my current bf’s ex girlfriends to myself – he’s had lots of them -.-. I know I shouldn’t be jealous or worried as our current relationship has been the longest either of us have ever had, but I just can’t help being wired that way. Hopefully I’ll grow out of it because I love your attitude towards this issue.

Thanks for the great post.

I’ll be honest. There was one girl, in college. I was head over heels for this girl. But, it didn’t work out. We shared a circle of friends, and a couple of times, she’d bring guys she was dating a long. I wasted a LOT of time trying to figure out what these people were offering that I wasn’t.

But then, you kinda realize the point that you made in your post. People make the decisions they do. Personally, I have enough trouble trying to decipher just what I’m thinking, let alone what somebody else thinks. So, I decided to just live my life.

And, to this point I have.

Though I’ll still catch the out of town weather for Louisville, Kentucky, from time to time, and hope she’s wearing a coat when it’s cold….;)
