This is awesome advise. I just broke up with my boyfriend and I really regret leaving him. With this stuff I could eventually get him back. Thanks!

I'm a guy, btw. My ex cheated on me (with an old guy), dumped me over the phone, and then tried all of these in the following months when I would tell her how lonely I was.

Silly, silly. Instead of wasting energy trying to make others jealous, maybe just live your life and try to be happy. Or, at the very least, try not to act like the stereotypical female. It gives us a bad name.

My ex broke up with me a couple months ago and when we saw each other we would talk for a little then go our separate ways. But recently one of his friends told me he is dating someone else. Obviously I still like him... A lot. And when his friend told me that, I was heartbroken. So I have been trying to find ways to make my ex jealous. Pls help me, some more.

Act Civil? Bitch please, I act how ever I want to get the ex's crawling all over meh after he makes the mistake of breaking up with meh. They always regret it.
