Maybe the sex was better.
Maybe they were prettier.
Maybe their shoes smelled less.
Maybe they made better spaghetti.
There will always be something about you that your partner preferred in their ex. But, obviously, there is a lot that your partner prefers about you, and that's likely why they're with you and not the ex.
Your ex will always have intimate memories of the people that came before you. These memories may be good or bad or whatever, but the experiences your partner had with their ex has shaped them into who they are today.
Embrace the ex! They have done good things for you.
