If an ex is in a new apparently happy relationship, why try to hurt their ex just because they’re also moving on?

Because he’s not over you. That’s what comes to my mind first. But it can also be that he’s just simply a very selfish person who doesn’t want you to be happy.

I had a guy accidentally say once that I was his ace in the hole, a back up plan that he wanted to be around when needed, although he was screwing everybody and everything. What makes a man think that's ok, and think that the woman will still want his wore out raggedy leftovers that can be infected by now.
But that's why he wanted to keep me single, so no man could be in the way whenever he decides to come back around, if it doesn't work out with the relationship

Hurt people intentions is to hurt others.

But why does it hurt them if they’re already with someone else and appear happy?

I guess he haven't closed that chapter in his life yet apparently you're still the main topic.

We broke up about 7 months ago, but stopped talking lots around 4 months ago when he started dating someone else.
