Did Your Ex Finally Get Their Life Together… for Someone Else?

A few videos ago, I asked if you could’ve saved your ex from ruining their life, had you remained with them.

(I thought of this after discovering an ex of mine made many horrible, horrible choices that messed her life up, big time.)

Maybe I’m really good at dodging bullets, but I’ve yet to see an ex that made me jealous, or long for them, or wish they’d become the person I needed them to be when we were together.

Actually, I’m probably just lucky, is all.

Ending up with my wife/kids/family made me more than understand why my other relationships failed: they were all leading to this.

That said, there have to be people out there who have been in those awful shoes, thinking, "Wow… now you're everything I needed you to be. Thanks a lot, jerk.”

So, why do some people only grow up, evolve, or get their act together after the relationship ends?

Is it timing?

Maturity?

Or did the breakup act as a wake up call?

Whether you’ve been ghosted, gaslit, or just grew apart, there’s got to be something uniquely frustrating about watching someone become their best self—for someone else.

That leads to a deeper, unanswerable question: would they have changed if you'd stayed together?

"Was I the problem... or the catalyst?"

That’ll keep you up at 3am, won’t it?
