But it did get me thinking. Upon my morning check of my facebook news feed, I noticed only one friend of his had posted a "happy birthday" note to his page, which gave me an immense feeling of accomplishment, as if somehow, in the ex-relationship war, I had won.
But won what exactly? and does it make me a bad person for enjoying the fact that he seems to have few friends acknowledging his special day?
I assume (and tell me if I'm wrong) that in most relationships, one person always comes out on top in their post-relationship life. You know how it is, one person moves on quicker than the other, gets a promotion at work, finds a new relationship, whilst the other person stays exactly where they were before the relationship began. Whilst I haven't been promoted, nor have I embarked on a new relationship, I do believe that I am in a happier place than my pre-relationship self was.
I love my life, my friends are the most amazing group of people you will ever meet, and I am content at work. So if this is the outcome of "winning" the war, then I would have to agree, yes I have won.
Or is it a case of women feel guilty when they succeed? You tell me..
