Here's the original post.

If you keep convincing yourself that you’re inferior to her ex-boyfriend, you may eventually convince her of it as well.

If you fear you're on track to do this, keep this in mind:

Your girlfriend hasn’t downgraded from her ex-boyfriend to you; her selection criteria has evolved.

As humans, the criteria we use to select a romantic partner evolves with time.

This evolution takes shape based on the sum of our past romantic relationships, coupled with our general maturation as adults.

With this in mind, any inferiority you feel towards her ex-boyfriend based on the shallow traits you’re using for comparison, are almost undoubtedly redundant.

Sure, he’s what she wanted once, but you’re what she’s evolved into wanting now.

She chose you because you’re the one with whom she foresees a happy, fulfilling future.

Don’t let her down by obsessing over somebody that’s better left in the past.

Don't talk badly about the guy. Don't let him occupy your thoughts.

It's time to focus on you and her.

Same goes for women in the reverse situation.
