5 Reasons You Need To Stop Comparing Yourself To His Ex

So you're in a new relationship, everything is going well and you want to know a little more about your boyfriends past. Maybe he brings up that he was in a past relationship or you ask him if he's dated someone before. 

Before you know it, you see all your boyfriend's pictures popping up on Facebook of him with his ex as a happy couple, and doubt starts to creep in.

You start wanting to know more about her, what she was like, how and why the relationship ended and before you know it you find yourself comparing yourself to her and how your relationship is different now to when they were together. It's natural for anyone in this situation to compare themselves to an ex-partner but it's very unhealthy for your relationship and yourself if you keep comparing yourself to your boyfriends ex. These are the reasons why you need to stop comparing yourself to your boyfriends ex.


1. You're Making Yourself Insecure. Ok so maybe his ex-girlfriend is tall, skinny, pretty with long hair. That shouldn't matter because he's with you now, right? No. By comparing yourself to her you'll start to think she's better than you or she has a nicer figure or she is way more beautiful than you and you'll start to wonder why your boyfriend is even with you instead of her. You have to realise that your partner has chosen you and you are the person he wants to be with, not her. It's easy to compare yourself to other people but all it does is damage your own self-esteem and make you insecure about things about yourself. Stop looking at their Facebook, don't think about them and remember that their ex is out of the picture now.

2. You're Bringing Doubt Into The Relationship. If you compare yourself to his ex and feel insecure in doing so, you'll start to think you're boyfriend is crazy for being with you and not them. You might begin to doubt that he's definitely over her or maybe you think that he still has feelings for her, because you feel like you're not as good as her in some way. By comparing yourself to an ex, you're only filling your head with doubt and making things hard in the relationship for yourself. 

3. Comparing Yourself To Other People In General Is a Bad Idea. One of the worst traits to have is self-comparison. It's so easily done but comparing yourself to others only leads to feeling worse about yourself and feeling like you aren't enough or you haven't accomplished enough. You should never compare yourself to others because it distracts you from working on yourself and can demotivate you if you think someone is more successful or superior to you in some way. This is is them same in relationships and it's very unhealthy to compare yourself to an ex-grifleind who was once in your boyfriend's life.

4. You're Making Yourself Paranoid. By comparing yourself to his ex, you're only going to make yourself paranoid that you're not as good as her in some way. You'll start to wonder if she was funnier than you, if he was happier with her, maybe he still misses her or wonder if they had a better connection. Remind yourself that their relationship didn't work out and they broke up for a reason. He's chosen you now and that's what you should focus on.

5. It Will Negatively Affect Your Relationship. If you keep stalking their ex on facebook and can't get the thought of them out of your head, you'll start to behave negatively around your boyfriend in your relationship and trust issues may start to develop. You'll become more concerned about his past relationship than your own. Don't torture yourself by comparing yourself to his past. You'll end up becoming distant in your relationship which may affect your own feelings towards your boyfriend. Focus on yourself and how you feel in your relationship. Enjoy your time with your boyfriend and remember that you're very important to each other and you've chosen to be with each other over everyone else and an ex shouldn't get in the way of that.

  6. For the past few months, I had been feeling that something wasn't right in my marriage. I couldn't put my finger on it, but I thought my husband was being unfaithful. I needed proof but wasn't sure how to get it. That's when I heard about Grayhathacks, a team of hackers who specialize in helping people like me.

    The team at Grayhathacks was incredibly professional and accommodating. They were keen on understanding my situation and ensuring that I felt comfortable with their methods. After an initial consultation, they were able to hack into my husband's devices and spy on him. They provided me with evidence that was essential for my divorce proceedings.

    The evidence I received from Grayhathacks was clear and incontrovertible. I was able to confront my husband with the proof and, in the end, he confessed to being unfaithful. Thanks to Grayhathacks, I was able to get through this difficult time in my life that is now in my past.

    I highly recommend Grayhathacks to anyone who is in a similar situation as I was. Their level of professionalism is unrivaled and if I could I'd do more than just give them a shout-out on here. I can guarantee that if you need spying for proof of infidelity, Grayhathacks is the team that I RECOMMEND. They are the best in what they do.

  7. I lost all my money after falling victim to a cryptocurrency investment scam, I was logged out of my account and was told the account manager was sick and that I had to pay some certain amount to gain access to my accounts. I had invested some huge amounts of money into this platform Capital Express FX, a lady contacted me to invest in this platform so that I would make huge profits which I did but to my surprise, these were all scams and they have defrauded several others of their money through cryptocurrency. I was weak and broke, I couldn’t meet up with my bills until a friend of mine told me about Spyweb Cyber, a reputable and reliable recovery company. I contacted Spyweb and provided all the information to them, a few other things I couldn’t provide but this company did an amazing job to trace and recover my stolen money. I’m still amazed and excited that a company like Spyweb Cyber is out there helping victims of cryptocurrency scams recover their money. I’m truly grateful to their service and recommend them to everyone.

  9. I lost a lot of money a month ago when I saw the opportunity to invest in cryptocurrency and this is why I suggest to everyone out there to seek more knowledge before investing in cryptocurrency as there are people out there who seize this opportunity to defraud victims of their hard-earned money through cryptocurrency investment. I was lucky enough to do my research and found out I have been coined of $892,000 worth of Bitcoin & Ethereum after falling victim but it was not long after I discovered the services of SPYWEB CYBER TEAM, who took some information from me to investigate and recover all the money that I lost in this scam. I’m truly grateful for the service of SPYWEB CYBER, the best cryptocurrency recovery team out there.

  10. I was a subject of a cryptocurrency heist. Some amount of bitcoin was stolen from my wallet and diverted to an unpermitted account. My wallet management was informed, however, they had me wait a week before responding through email. They didn’t offer any assistance; alternatively, they mentioned that my phone might have been compromised and told me to get in touch with the authorities who couldn't provide any solution to recover my bitcoin. When I was browsing through the internet trying to find a solution to get my stolen bitcoin back, I discovered a team of bitcoin recovery experts called Astraweb Cyber. I then decided to contact them for assistance in getting my stolen money back. I have nothing but praise for Astraweb Cyber because they were able to assist me in recovering the money that had been stolen. With the use of their sophisticated tools, Astraweb Cyber was able to determine how the transaction was carried out. I have my money back and I am very thankful to Astraweb Cyber for their amazing service. If you have any issues related to mine. Kindly contact them via email. (astraweb@cyberdude. com)
