XH "looks like an old man":)

I do not know who may remember me but I posted in March 2013 about H at that time who had decided to end our 24 year marriage. Well, fast forward through the Saga of OW, nasty divorce where he wanted me to pay him vast quantities of money, to now, where we are finally near a financial settlement. (actual divorce was on 18 March.)
A friend just messaged me to say she just saw him & he looks like an old man.
My life is just fine - I have a new love & I don't have to listen to his c**p anymore.
My fondest wish is to dance on his grave - with any luck, it will come true!

I found out some gossip about my ex yesterday. He has split from the OW after what I heard was "2 years living nightmare" with a women who turned out to be very aggressive, argumentative, and possessive. He has been miserable and this little bird told me that many arguments were about me as she was convinced that he is still in love with me.

I cannot tell you how long and loud I laughed. I actually laughed out loud and then phoned all my friends and mother to tell them and laugh all over again

So, while I wouldn't wish him dead, I certainy get where you are coming from OP.

So glad to hear you are doing so well xx

It's a good feeling, knowing someone who took a giant crap on your life isn't doing as well as you had thought

There is something quite pathetic about people who take enjoyment and pleasure out of seeing someone else fall from grace or otherwise suffer misfortune and misery.

Saying someone looked older/thinner/balder/fatter/ whatever, why? - Newsflash, everyone ages and you probably don't look as good as you used to either! And years later how does anyone know other person isn't seriously ill or hasn't had a personality transplant and just run a marathon to raise money for children with cancer?

You don't. It is just nasty petty vindictiveness and I don't believe it is human nature at all. I also think it belies the fact that people are not as happy in the present as they think, I mean why else would anyone google their X years down the line.

I mean why else would anyone google their X years down the line.

For the same reason I googled my bio-dad? My abuser? because we want to know what has happened to someone who has affected your life in a massive way. I wouldn't want them to be happy, of course not. It makes me human.

I am certainly happy in my life, but going by your logic, I mustn't be.
