Ex's Are Like a Virus...They Never Really Go Away!

[sleeper]

I think it actually gets worse...the WAS seems to cause trouble for the LBS, especially when the LBS is moving on...

Some things defy logic and the actions of the WAS in these instances is one of them. Once at kidswap, X was talking to a girlfriend when I arrived. X asked if had asked out the female she had been pushing to me (she went from: 1) I don't want you dating even though I am , to 2) Now I want you dating but only with the one(s) I pick for you.). Her friend commented, "I'm surprised you're setting him up. I remember how I felt about my X husband going out.". Then they both shot each other a "I understand you completely" glance. I'm still not sure what that glance meant.

I think they're afraid you'll find someone "better" or worse, that looks better than them. They're fine for you to be the cast off but they don't want to suffer the appearance of the reverse. If you find someone more attractive, intelligent, successful, more highly educated and in the case of females, younger or a more involved mother, then they will look bad. This might explain the X constantly trying to find fault or tear down the LBS's sig other.

As usual. It's all about them.
