Breeze1964 Posted May 29, 2012 Posted May 29, 2012 Ok from your experiences what are some tactics your ex has done to try and make you jealous that they are in a new relationship? Are they just trying to makde you jealous and hurt you more or are there still unresolved feelings for you?
january2011 Posted May 29, 2012 Posted May 29, 2012 I don't think I've ever noticed an ex purposefully trying to make me jealous. I've reacted in a way that suggested that I was jealous, but I don't think an ex has purposefully engineered the situation to elicit that emotion.
Lil1 Posted May 29, 2012 Posted May 29, 2012 This has never happened to me because I have never remained friends with an ex. Once they are an ex they are completely out of my life. What I have observed from some friends in such situations however is that their ex will either text them and outright tell them they are with someone better than them, or they will purposefully go to places they used to frequent and bring their new bf/gf. It's all very stupid and I have no time for such nonsense. Is your ex doing this to you? My suggestion: Don't waste your time trying to figure out why they are doing what they are doing. Are you over your ex? Treat him/her as a stranger now because he/she is not the same person they were when they were with you. 1
BewitchedandBothered Posted May 30, 2012 Posted May 30, 2012 Ok from your experiences what are some tactics your ex has done to try and make you jealous that they are in a new relationship? Are they just trying to makde you jealous and hurt you more or are there still unresolved feelings for you? my ex did that **** while IN the relationship with me. Over the top compliments on other women's Facebook pics----he had ALL women friends, too. He would blatantly notice other women and act like I wasn't there, tell me how great his ex wife's legs were, etc. It was all head games. It is head games any way you look at it.
ginastar Posted May 30, 2012 Posted May 30, 2012 my ex did this to me. he would do things to rub it in my face that he was in a new relationship soon after he broke up w me. I really have no clue why he wanted to continue to hurt me.
paperboy48 Posted May 30, 2012 Posted May 30, 2012 Treat him/her as a stranger now because he/she is not the same person they were when they were with you. I like that ....it's great advise. My STBX was texting from a far at our daughters baseball game the other day, she had this look on her face when texting like she was head over heels. I bet she wasn't even texting with anyone. She was probably just trying to make me jealous. B*tch!

Svet74 Posted May 30, 2012 Posted May 30, 2012 My ex wants texted me that we shouldnt talk anymore because he is with someone else now. I knew that he was lying and he was just trying to get a reaction out of me to see if i would explode. I ignored.. he then called 20 min later and i still ignored. then called him back the next day and told him he was stupid.. 1
Author Breeze1964 Posted May 30, 2012 Author Posted May 30, 2012 Yes well he actually has shown up with her (recognize it from picture) at a restaurant in my town that we have gone to in the past...my town! LOL! He lives two towns over...he also has liked his own photos of him and her on his FB page as only one person liked the photos and one person made a snide remark about him liking the photo. None of our friends (hometown friends) in common (and there are many) have made one comment on the photos...oh yeah shes 20 years younger than him, hes turning 50...she looks like she is in her 20s in the pictures and he looks much older than 50...lol!
Sugarkane Posted May 30, 2012 Posted May 30, 2012 My first boyfriend dumped me in high school. But we still had classes together and lockers right near each other. He would always follow me through the school and start a full on make out session with his new gf. They stalked me all The time. Even though he was the dumper. I can't understand why his gf went along with it. I acted emotionless at possible, I knew they wanted a reaction. More recently an ex phoned just to brag about how well he was doing. Sent me pictures of his new car, bragged about him leaving home etc etc. He hadn't changed though and was still an A grade jerk. Begged to get back together. Then stood me up and then blamed me for everything. Then proceeded to verbally abuse me by text. He has a new gf and I wonder if he's screwed her over yet.
ginastar Posted May 30, 2012 Posted May 30, 2012 How does rubbing it in my face make him feel better about it. Luckily I was smart enough to ignore it. It makes them fell better about the decision they made.
