I understand that you are bitter towards your ex but do you think it necessary to refer to the girl he brought to the dance lessons as a 'tart'? In that context that means a girl who is basically a prostitute and it is a very derogatory term to use about a woman whom you don't know and who can scarcely be blamed for going out with your ex no matter what the nature of their relationship.

Actually she did sleep with Mo after meeting him once. Perhaps tart is not the best term.

He he....tart is cute actually.

 

I dated someone briefly...I knew he wasn't for me. He was a "bad boy"...sweet really, an ex con....with two or three ex wives...etc. I just knew that he wasn't someone I could trust..or thought so. I let the relationship fizzle...he moved, asked me to go visit him in Las Vegas where he lived...(not.) I recently saw on his myspace that he is now MARRIED....wow..short courtship...and she is gorgeous! And younger than he is by at least 10 or more years. I saw pics he posted of them together, and their nice new house...it was a bit weird...but cool. We were not meant to be together, I wish them well. It just goes to show you that the reason you break up with someone is because it just isnt right. You both eventually find someone that IS right. He did, now I did. I hope we all live happily ever after.

I would say, good for them. When I've been the dumper, I've broken up to get out of that relationship, for my own good and for both. So if the ex finds someone else to date, and it may turn into a better relationship, I would be happy.

 

Either way, when I've been the dumper, after the relationship came to an end, I was already doing better than when I was dating that person.

The big question is your number 4.

Once someone is an ex, it's over. All your attention to what they do is pointless. Let go of him and the jealousy about his new squeeze.
