The ex that remains in your head. The one you imagine you will see when you are having a bad hair day. The one your mind pesters you about running into when you are at your worst. The one that haunts you with only the saddest memories of that chapter and exaggerates the impact of the pain on the present. The ex you are supposed to forget but don’t.
Rather than be tormented by these ghosts, here are truths about the situation to give you a more peaceful perspective on your past and keep you from being nervous about running into them in the future.
They are not better (or worse) off than you
Seriously speaking we think about the ex way more than we would admit – where they are in their lives right now and what they would think of ours. And especially when we were the ones who left, we hope they would be impressed, gobsmacked, no dumbstruck at what we’ve done with our life. We want them to know that we are not “there” where they left us and get more satisfaction than we should when we run into them at our best and even more so if we find them at their worst.
