How to Make Your Spouse's Ex Jealous

Many of us have our reasons as to why we want them to be jealous. I won't ask and there is no need to tell. Whether it may be just for fun or because of a "legitimate" reason I have a few ideas that may spark your interest. Now these aren't malicious mean terrible things, but subtle small things that will dig deep at them emotionally.

First things first, let them know you are happy. Happiness is the key. They don't want to see you happy together. They want to know that their ex partner is miserable without them. Let them know your partner has moved on and is better off. This makes for frustration for them. Give them a big smile and let them know all the good that is going on in your lives together. Brag about things your spouse bought you or places he/she took you. Talk about the cute "little" things he/she does for you. Always in their presence smile and laugh happily. Act care free and very affectionate towards your spouse. Sugar coat everything. Throw them a comment or two about their old blouse or how nice their hair is (even when it looks bad). Your sweet nature will make them envy you more.

Always dress your best, especially if you know you will definitely run into them. Look youthful and full of energy. Let your personality shine and be vibrant. Dress to impress with the latest style looking sexy but not trashy. Get your hair and nails done. As for men, be clean cut with the latest cologne on. Stay physically fit and show you care about your body.

When in public be friendly and talkative to everyone around you. Be outgoing and energetic. Make friends with all those around you and be a social butterfly bouncing from social circle to social circle. Stand tall, have confidence and hold yourself like you have the world in the palm of your hand.

If your spouse has had children with this ex of his and they happen to call needing to speak with him about pick up, tell them you just got him/her in the shower and when their not busy you'll have him/her call them back. When they come by, this is your opportunity to shine. Show your nurturing abilities to your children or step-children in front of him/her. Treat your stepchildren to activities and places your spouse's ex doesn't normally do. Shower them with little gifts and spend quality time with them (you should anyways for the sake of the kids). When the ex comes by your house to pick up the children, have the house tidy, smelling fresh and photos of you and your spouse setting out in fancy frames.

Make the effort to go beyond the call of duty for your partner when they are around. Bring them a fresh cup of coffee or grab them a cold drink. Ask if they need anything. Or just be very affectionate. Be the best spouse you can be even when they are not around. Your job is to make your partner happy, do your best.

These are all safe ways to "get even" or make them feel jealous without using trash talk, mud slinging, or saying horrid terrible things in front of their kids. The biggest kick in the face to them will be letting them know you are in a happy relationship, and your partner has moved on without looking back.
