I am running a trial situation in my mind and my opinion decided that it depended on the cause of the break-up, how recent and what their partner looks like.
If we broke up on good terms and it was recently and they had moved on that fast with someone better looking, I would feel hurt but also realise that our relationship is over and we both agreed there was no going back for us both.
If we broke up on good terms and it was a long time later that they chose to move on and get a new relationship, I would feel no pain from it, they waited a long enough time and we were on good terms when we broke up, I would only respect their new relationship.
If we broke up on bad terms and recently they moved on to a new relationship then I would be angry but would avoid talking to them because I don't want to be involved with them anymore, I would try to stop myself from looking at any posts from them etc.
If we broke up on bad terms and it was a long time till they moved on to a new relationship, obviously us two would not enjoy each others company much but I would not feel upset as much since they gave themselves time to think before moving onto someone else.
If we broke up in a manner that caused unintentional awkwardness between us, like a situation where we perhaps were dating and then not dating due to other things that have ended up coming above relationships at the time being so we prolong a relationship status many times, the on and off again thing, with all this I would say I would try to reduce the awkward atmosphere between us that we made but would hold no grudge if they felt it was easier to date someone else rather than deal with the awkwardness we caused.
I broke up with her so it wasn’t as devastating as you might think. I had no more feelings for her at that point. Of course I had great memories, but I had moved on. She went through a deep depression and had a mental break down after I left. As hard as it was to walk away, I knew I needed to. I honestly just gave her a big authentic smile and gave her a thumbs up. She laughed. It was genuine. Really powerful moment. I just wanted her to know that there’s no more resentment so that she could hopefully have a healthy new relationship with the new guy. I really hope she’s happy today. She’s a great girl.
They're an ex. That meant we didn't work together. That doesn't mean I would care. And why would I begrudge them finding happiness with someone else,? Even if they were the one to dump me... That might hurt in that moment, but would also show they really didn't love me. So why would I care about someone that didn't love me🤷🏼♀️
My ex was, is and will be a person ill always wish the best no matter what. He is an amazing person that deserve to be happy so i would genuinely feel so happy if i see he is happy now with someone else. I will just think like mmm "you better love him the way he deserve" but not jealous at all.

Not a single bit to be honest. Good for them. I've kept contact with exes who were willing to keep contact, but as I did the breaking up in most relationships that was more a token gesture.
I've run into at least one time I can recall at a renn fair with my wife where an ex was excited to see me, and I simply couldn't remember her at all (that was actually a really fun time). If they're out of my life, why am I concerned with what they're doing with theirs? It isn't my business.
I wouldn't be at all jealous, maybe I would be jealous of the fact they found someone and I haven't yet but I wouldn't hate on them, if anything I would be happy for them and congratulate them because they deserve to be happy as well. Life is too short to be hating on small things like that.
Depends on the ex. If either of my current exes would roll up with a new girl, I wouldn't really care. I haven't even talked to them on years and don't have any unresolved feelings. If me and my boyfriend broke up and he started dating someone new, I'd definitely be jealous and sad.
Here is the way I deal with relationship endings.
I put my heart and soul into the relationship if it is worth fighting for. Once it's gone, for me it's dead and buried.
I will however leave on speaking terms if they wish it because no matter how it ended, it would have been great whilst it lasted, otherwise it wouldn't have ended.
So with all that in mind. I have absolutely no jealous thoughts of seeing an ex with someone else. In fact? I'm kind of pleased if they are happy
a lot of times it's over before it's really over... and the fact that got themselves someone else doesn't really matter or wouldn't make me jealous per se... i mean my last boyfriend i was so bored with him... oh yeah what a great idea get a new girlfriend... goodbye!
Knowing how these girls acted when we dated, I'd probably kind of pity the guy a bit. I'd probably want to befriend him and help him or something. I'd probably HOPE that these girls changed for the better, but I doubt it.
I’d be happy for him.
I have one ex. We dated 12 years ago for 7 months and only ever held hands. I'm pretty sure he got married a year or so ago.
I only ever think of him when I come across questions like this lol
It wouldn't bother me because i don't love him anymore and I've moved on already from that cheater enough to have sex with another guy.
To be honest a woudnt be jealous i couldn't give a shit he was a idiot anyway used me for ma money asshole so i couldn't give a fk
I wouldn't be jealous, we broke up bc we didn't work. Now she's trying again with another man and that's fine. Depending on how fast they got together and if I knew the guy then I'd have judgement but I wouldn't want them back.
I wouldn't be jealous it would make me feel a tinge of pain from memories of how hurt I was during the breakup though tbh
If I still loved him it would hurt like hell. Like if he left me for no reason.
Life moves on as they say & I would move on too & jealous I wouldn’t be.
Always envious. She's with someone i ain't so of course i would have envy.
Feel pity for that guy… He’ll find out sooner or later.
I'd feel sorry for the girl she was dating. My ex was a shitbag.
m I've hang out with my ex's husband, so I guess I'm not jealous in that way.
I saw my ex wife with some guy yesterday.
It bothered me for a few hours, then I remembered what it's actually like to be with her.
I kind of felt bad for that guy because he has no idea what a terrible person she really is.
Yet.
I don't think jealous is the right word, maybe just a little sad.
I would be happy for them, and glad that they were able to move on :)
I wouldn't care. Two of my exes are women no guy should want to date, though.
I saw my ex of 5 years with someone else and had a break down
To be honest if i lost her because it was my fault i would be hurt... Otherwise she is not my girl anymore so i respect her as human being just like any stranger out there
Depends on several variables. How did the relationship end? Why did it end? Am I still in love/lust? How serious were we, etc.. Maybe yes, maybe no, or maybe I would feel indifferent.
I wouldn't be jealous. I'd just punch his lights out.
1%. Once I cut you out of my life, you're non-existent to me.
Of course I am jealous. My ex girlfriend has a new boyfriend. She drives me crazy, she is texting me how amazing he is and he is so much more bigger (cock) than me and he streches her out for hours... I hate him...
So much girls out there. Always one hotter sexiest fitter younger.
I’d be happy for them and go for another girl.
Not much. Poor girl is dealing with his whiny asexual ass now.
There is only one ex I think I'd be affected by. And not jealous, but hurt. I'm still not 100% over my most recent ex, but I think I'm close.
In theory;
Good. Now I know she’ll leave me alone.
Wouldn’t affect me. She was a good person so would make sense she found someone new
It’s inevitable that I will feel jealousy but then I will have to swallow my jealousy and try to be happy
Depends on Who ended it , how it ended, why it ended, and how long ago it is
I live 2500 miles away from my ex; I hope she and her new partner both die.
considering that I have dumped all of my exes but one I would be unaffected and probably chuckle at the new guy
Why would it bother me. My ex didxwhat she did, she is his problem.
He/she is ex for a reason. Why would you be jealous
I'd literally want to kill them both
Going through this now
I would feel sorry for her!
Thats for the most recent ex.. abusive beyond horrible relationship.. id feel bad for the innocent person that will get blind sided like I dif.. Other guys I dated it just didn't work out with us but id be happy for them.. cause id know he's a great guy.. last thing id feel is jealous cause im much better off without them! They had a time and season in my life.. I wouldn't change any except the abusive guy made my life hell and I hope he rots in hell.. I got bad vibes about him should have listened to myself not my friends telling me to get back out there after the one before him cheated on me.. I was perfectly happy single should have stayed single but the gifts was all new to me.. I hope no other woman falls for it.. he's the worst person I have come across ever.. I hope some woman abuses him! But as I was saying id feel pitty or happiness for their relationship.. depends on who the guy was to me.. 5 guys id be happy for both of them in the relationship.. 2 guys id pitty the woman with them...3 guys I wouldn't know what to feel since we never got that close first sign of trouble with my health (seizures) they left so I wouldn't feel anything just hoped they stick around when trouble came in their relationships..
yes in total I have been with 11 men but not all sexually hense why I wait before getting involved sexually can weed out the ones that only want sex cause im much more than a pretty face and wanted something legitimate but figured out guys can promise anything in the moment and fully mean it but when they experience it things changed why I stopped looking for promises and released all of them from the promises I wanted them to love me in sickness or health.. they couldnt do it and weirdly enough im thankful some tried abd became angry or avoided me until I was better again thats not what I wanted.. so I realized these promises mean nothing its not realistic.. so waiting 6 months before I had sex worked.. most relationships lasted a month or two I never told the guys they were waiting I just said im not ready.. Guys mainly like what they see and guys always made advances towards me only happened twice during covid in a relationship or not.. hense why blocking and deleting became so easy cause I thought he was a friend if he can't respect im in a relationship he's not my friend is he? So even tho I have dated a lot slept with less than half of them. 4 including the man im with.. glad all of them are in the past cause I have someone much better suited for me!
Not in the slightest.
Never had an ex, so i have no idea 🤷♂️
Might be hurt or wouldn't care... Not jealous.
Nah, she's his problem, now :D
I think its very normal to feel a bit jealous.
I’d just think, “Kill me”
-Optimus Prime
Maybe not actually but I hope I don’t have one
It wouldn't bother me at all.
I honestly wouldn’t give a shit.
I would be happy for her definitely
Probably wouldn't care.
My life my terms , her life her terms
I'd be relieved.
I wouldn't care, she never liked me anyways.
I would hate it
Same here :(
Wouldn't care
Wouldn't care
