I agree with flash84x. The only person you need to prove anything to is yourself and possibly the next girl. Why are you worrying about proving something to your ex? It sounds like it is more revenge than living well for youself, because you said you would show up at her door in a 2-5 years, and show her how well you've been doing. You are still going to be thinking of her in a few 2-5 yrs???? That screams insecurity, and lack of self confidence! Work on yourself, and get on with it.

I agree. Being successful and your past enemies and ex's hearing about it is one thing but to throw it in their face just reeks of insecurity, revenge, etc...
Also as poor as I am many people who are well off I could care a R@T'$@$$ about it because I also see what their lives are like and many of them I wouldn't trade for the world.

I have seen this work for some people though. Like on one of the daytime talk shows they had people who were bullied and later became successful confront their bully years later and they ended up apologizing for all the bullying.

I had to spread the rep, but yes you are right on the mark there. But I don't think in this case that it is bullying, or anything like that. I think it is a case of "oh no you didn't", and a whole lot of false pride. ;)

Have to spread rep too... I also think that is neither here nor there in this situation.

In 2-5 years from now, you can show up at her house and say "hey, I'm the guy you dated and ignored. Guess what? Look at me now.. I have a successful life, finance is not a problem etc."

That's what I'm going to do.

Assuming she even remembers who you are - and I doubt she will.
