"I think this might be the ultimate test of whether or not you&amp;amp;#8217;re really over someone: If you found out something really amazing happened in his life, would you be truly happy about it? Or secretly a teensy bit annoyed since you kind of thought his life would fall apart without you? Luckily for us regular folk, we&amp;#x27;ll never have to see our ex in quite such a big moment. Since everybody&amp;amp;#8217;s imaginary BFF Jennifer Lawrence won her Oscar on Sunday, I&amp;amp;#8217;ve been seeing a lot of press on her ex-boyfriend Nicholas Hoult because, of course, people can&amp;amp;#8217;t resist asking him how he feels about it. Either they had a very amicable breakup or he&amp;amp;#8217;s putting on a good face, because he handled it like a champ, saying &amp;amp;#8220;I&amp;amp;#8217;m very, very happy for her. I&amp;amp;#8217;m thrilled!&amp;amp;#8221; and it&amp;#x27;s his opinion that her movie Silver Linings Playbook was great. That&amp;amp;#8217;s exactly what I would say too, but if I&amp;amp;#8217;m being perfectly honest, I&amp;amp;#8217;d secretly die inside a little bit. (For the record, I&amp;amp;#8217;m not saying Hoult is lying. I don&amp;amp;#8217;t know him or his secret thoughts! And honestly, J.Law is so charming, it&amp;#x27;s probably true that even her exes still adore her.) But only with my more recent bad-breakup ex, because although I&amp;amp;#8217;m getting there, I&amp;amp;#8217;m still not totally over my big old pile of hurt feelings. So while I don&amp;amp;#8217;t actively wish for bad things to happen to him (um, anymore), I can&amp;amp;#8217;t say I&amp;amp;#8217;d be thrilled to have his success rubbed in my face. To paraphrase an old episode of Friends, I&amp;#x27;d be like, 98% happy for him, 2% jealous. OK, maybe more like 70/30. But to assure you I&amp;amp;#8217;m not a completely horrible person, I&amp;amp;#8217;d honestly and truly be thrilled to hear good news about my ex from my one other serious relationship. Hence why I say it&amp;amp;#8217;s the ultimate test of whether you&amp;amp;#8217;re really over it! So, be honest: Do you have an ex you just still do not want to hear nice things about? Or would you really be happy for any of your previous loves if something great happened?
