    Ok when the guy is better off than the girl, he tends to carry her financially so how doesn't this work the other way?
    It doesn't for some, and it does for some. Every relationship works differently - it looks like the OP and her partner are still finding their balance.

    Exactly this, and it'll take a while. Probably take longer than it should if the OP continues to compare their current life with the activities of the ex partner.

    Seems to me, you haven't figured out what sort of a life you want yet.
    Are you regretting splitting from him? Is that what the tears signify?

    Looks like the dumped ex going on an amazing holiday alone served its intended purpose then . . :whistle:

    I suspect the amazing holiday that your Ex went on wasn't actually that great.

    Why not? Maybe he's loads happier since the breakup too and he had a whale of a time holidaying on his own with no arguments!

    If I waited for my ex, to be able to afford to go on hols, we wouldn't have been anywhere. Can you not maybe pay a bit towards his share of any holiday?
