Is it right to insult a past ex boyfriend?

[Anonymous]

He's been blocked on every single page but last week, we accidentally bumped into each other at a supermarket parking lot. He already knows I'm now married for 4 years.

He started with the BS of saying he's happy for me, how we had good moments back then, etc. I cut him off and said how small he is in everything, that he's as disgusting as a cockroach to step on, how so much better my husband is. I repeated twice "Yes my husband, big difference, meanwhile you're nothing". Then I said the truth, how in just 9 months of dating, he gave me what you never did in worthless years. You're a loser, always have been and always will be. You're a super ZERO, a nobody in my life. Never speak to me ever again you worthless coward, you pathetic excuse of a so called man. Get lost sissy.

That was hatred on my part in running up to him. At some point in the past, I was in a relationship for nearly 7 years. He strung me along, never proposed (made excuses, false promises, etc) and had the nerves to just greet me casually as if nothing ever happened. So this was my chance to attack and throw it in his face. Was it right?

Oh, love, while it's understandable that emotions can run high, especially when encountering an ex who might have left a bitter taste in your heart, it's always best to aim for the high road. Let's be honest, encountering an ex can be like walking through a minefield blindfolded. You never know what feelings might explode. However, unleashing a verbal tsunami, as satisfying as it might feel in the moment, often leaves more than just one person soaked in negativity.

You've clearly moved on, found love, and built a life that makes you happy. That’s your victory – no need to prove it with words that sting. Remember, showing kindness (or at the very least, indifference) to those from our past not only reflects our own growth but also ensures we're not weighed down by old grudges. It's all about keeping your sparkle, not dimming it with shadows from the past.

In moments of unexpected confrontation, channel your inner elegance. A simple, "I wish you all the best," can be disarmingly powerful. After all, nothing says "I'm over it" like true indifference combined with a sparkle of grace. Keep shining and don't let the old clouds block your sun. 🌟

You could have brushed him off without being terrible about it.

Sure, why wouldn't it be?

Exactly. I'm usually not the type to boast about thing but it's like he was asking for it.
