an ex (plural is exes) is someone with whom a person was once associated.
Meaning, what's in the past is in the past. An obvious one, no?
Well, you'd think so anyway. We've all been there - Compared our partners ex to ourselves, wondered who would win in any array of contests (Including, but not limited to, who can grow the best tomato plant) and felt down about the fact that you have no idea where to begin when growing tomatos. In fact, you have trouble remembering to water plants, becasuse you're too busy watching re-runs of Gossip Girl while being wrapped in a cloak of self-loathing and anGRRR.
Deprication aside, it's all too easy to get caught up in that shameful mindfuck, where you browse through your partners facebook photos of his ex, and it slaps you in the face. Yes, his ex is pretty, funny, intelligent and has a figure most women would justifiably kill their neighbours cat for, but fucking hell, SO DO YOU.
Alright, so I might not have the best figure, but that's not the point. The point is that while all of the above makes her kind of cool, she's not a threat. There's a reason he's with you and not her anymore, so maybe it's time to put down that tub of Ben & Jerrys, and focus on what you have now.

P.S... I stole your ice cream. Good luck getting it back ;)
