Her Boyfriend Made It Clear He Thinks His Ex Is Prettier Than Her, And He Called Her “The One That Got Away”
It’s great when people feel they can have a friendly and nice relationship with their exes, but sometimes, people are a little too attached to their exes even when the relationship is long over.
One woman has been feeling very insecure over the way her boyfriend still raves about his current ex, and she’s convinced he cares more about his ex’s feelings than hers.
Her boyfriend has always spoken very highly of his ex, but he’s been known to talk about her in ways that some people would consider inappropriate.
“He said he would have never left her, he would have loved to grow old with her, [and] that she is the one that got away,” she explained.
“The only negative thing she did was leave him.”
The situation is pretty intense, especially since her boyfriend has done things like accidentally calling her by his ex’s name several times.
Since her boyfriend has said all those things about his ex, she can’t help but feel insecure whenever he brings her up. Instead of feeling bad for her or changing the way he speaks about his ex, her boyfriend gets angry with her for feeling insecure and calls her toxic.
She finds this ridiculous, especially because she hasn’t said anything mean or nasty about his ex; she just doesn’t like how he still idolizes her.
“Last summer, he ran into his ex in his hometown,” she said.

“He told me, and I, of course, felt insecure and joked, ‘At least I’m prettier than her.’ This man went stone-faced. I asked again, ‘At least I’m prettier than her, right?’ His face twisted in disgust and discomfort [and I got] no answer.”
She asked that question three more times, and eventually, her boyfriend told her his ex was “really pretty.”
She felt very hurt, not because her boyfriend thought his ex was pretty, but because he made it clear he felt his ex was prettier than her and refused to acknowledge her beauty.
Since that incident, she’s been feeling especially lousy about the way her boyfriend treats her. She’s disappointed by how he refuses to stop putting his ex on a pedestal and how he tries to put her down whenever she gets uncomfortable by it.
Should she break up with this guy or figure out a way to compromise with him?
