Is it an inherent habit of people to compare their current partners with their ex (es) (even at minute levels) ?

Feel free to go anonymous on this one but please be honest. Have you ever experienced that by your partner (s) or done that yourself?

PS: Doesn't have to be necessary that you be vocal about the comparison to your partner. It can be possible that you didn't tell them but did the comparison within yourself.

Most of us do, yes. Because for obvious reasons we can't forget the good and bad moments we spent with our partners in our past and it's a human tendency to look for better and hence we end up comparing the good times and good traits of our ex (es).

I don't have any exes as this is my first and only girlfriend. But it is a very common habit that people have. There are unhealthy and healthy ways to do it though

I think people compare to satisfy their egos…. They want to think they found someone better so they don’t have to look at the part they played in the previous breakup. It is all about making themself look or feel good whether it is the truth or not….

I've seen many complain about it which makes me believe it's a common issue

I’m not exactly sure what you’re asking but I think guys want someone prettier than the ex

I think so you tend to become a parent.
