Is it normal to hold so much hostility towards your ex

All right, in my senior year in high school I started dating this chick who is not what society would deem attractive. However she was extremely intelligent and and had a good sense of humor witch I fell in love with. Now I don't want to sound like a self absorbed ass but I was really popular in h.s.( homecoming king nominee, shit load of friends, pretty good looking). Anyway we were an odd couple. This chick had alot of self esteem issues. I would constantly tell her how
beautiful I thought she was and how she was my world and all that to help. I caught a lot of shit for dating the broad, but I stuck by here through college and all. Well, I kinda fell on hard times. Got laid off, lost my license for a DUI, got depressed. Mean time she starts putting a lot of work into her appearance(loses weight, whitens teeth, new hair style,etc). She starts getting really proud of her looks. Long story short she cheats on me, we break up, now I fuckin hate the bitch to the point of really interfering with my life. I stuck with her through all this shit( when I could have been nailing countless chicks in college). When i needed the same love and support i gave her she bails on me. Anyway, is it normal to have so much resentment towards your ex to the point of wishing nothing but the worst fuckin life for them?

    Normal. This has happened to most people in some way or another at some point in their lives. You'll find someone better!

    It is normal, and should resolve with time (years). In the mean time, remember that people change a LOT in college. The changes in her probably would have happened regardless of your circumstances.

    It's normal but not healthy! Look into Buddhism :)

    Well, lesson learned? You just experienced the turn point that every man have once in his life time. Now become a proud "pig".

    Women aren't to be taken seriously.
