The status that makes your ex jealous doesn’t need to be about your ex.
It can be about something that evokes jealousy, envy, and a lot of curiosity. Something that makes your ex wonder why you’re happy and who you’re happy with.
But before you log online and start posting statuses that make your ex jealous, you need to read a little disclaimer. You need to understand that playing jealousy games with an unreceptive ex can backfire on you.
If you’re not over your ex yet and you try to make your ex jealous before he or she is capable of getting jealous, a bad jealousy status can cause your emotionally detached ex to respond to your jealousy trick with another jealousy trick and make you feel worse as a result.
So avoid playing any obvious jealousy games with the dumper or you’ll most likely end up hurting yourself.
If you don’t know what social media statuses you should not use, here are a few examples:
- I’m so happy my ex is gone. I can’t believe how great it feels!
- My new boyfriend/girlfriend is everything I could ever ask for. I’m really happy.
- I just had the best sex of my life.
- Why can’t all men/women be as charming as my new bf/gf?
- I finally found the perfect man/woman for me. I’ve been looking for him/her all my life.
- I’m over and done with my ex.
- It’s your loss, not mine.
- I’m happy now. I bet you’re not.
I know you have your reasons for wanting to make your ex jealous, but before you look for the perfect status that makes your ex jealous, ask yourself how making your ex jealous is going to help you.
Is it going to fix the past (everything that was said and done before the breakup and after) and repair the broken relationship?
Is it going to make your ex realize your worth and come back?
Or will it hurt your ex and give you the validation that you’re a great/valuable person and that your ex should never have left you?
Whatever you’re hoping to achieve, if you publish a status that makes your ex jealous, know that you can get three different responses from your ex.
- Your ex can ignore your status.
- Your ex can challenge your status with a similar status.
- Or your ex can get jealous and react/not react.
If you’re hoping to make your ex jealous, keep in mind that your ex must first:
- become receptive to you and think highly of you
- covet what he or she doesn’t have
- have some romantic feelings left for you
With that said, here are 30 statuses that make your ex jealous.
30 statuses that make your ex jealous
The following statuses showcase positivity, changes, improvements, achievements, and everything about you that your ex could possibly like, admire, respect, or appreciate.
1)I have never had so much fun in one single day
This status is open to more than one interpretation, which is why it’s one of the best statuses that could make your ex jealous.
The status essentially conveys the information that you’re having the time of your life with someone (anyone).
If your ex is the jealous type, he or she could feel threatened by this message and wonder why you’re enjoying yourself without him/her.
2)Everything about today was amazing. Especially the ending. Thank you for making my day
Because someone has done something special for you, your ex could suspect that you’re talking about a romantic moment with your new boyfriend or girlfriend.
All you have to do is appear happy and grateful.
3)The thought of you makes me smile and brightens up my day
If you put this quote on your profile, your ex could question whether the quote is random or if it has something to do with someone you’d met. The curiosity could even make your ex reach out.
4)Learning to ski with someone as inexperienced as I am is crazy fun
This status shows that you’re having fun learning new things and that you’re doing it with someone your ex doesn’t necessarily know about.
5)I’m super excited about the weekend getaway!
Happiness, excitement, and doing well after the breakup is the most powerful message you can send to your ex. That’s why you should convey to your ex that you’ve gotten over the breakup and that you’re not thinking about him or her very often (even if you are).
6)I had a blast at the concert yesterday! Thanks for coming with me!
This status could make your ex jealous because it reveals that you’re enjoying your life without your ex.
If this was the first time you went to a concert, it could also make your ex wonder why you’re suddenly doing things you never did before.
7)There’s a different type of glow when you’re fully in love
This rhyme exudes confidence and shows that the breakup hasn’t destroyed your faith in love—and that you’re excited about falling in love again.
8)I enjoyed spending time with you. I’m looking forward to our next meetup
If you post this, you’ll let your ex know that you’ve left the past behind and that you’re looking forward to new opportunities life has to offer. This on its own can evoke jealousy and other unwanted emotions, such as nostalgia, guilt, regret…
9)I had the most fantastic birthday ever
Your ex could get jealous if your ex sees you enjoying birthdays and special occasions without him/her.
10)Working out with other people is so much fun
This status can make your jealous for 2 reasons.
- It can show that you’re investing time and effort into your physical health.
- It can show that you’re enjoying your workouts and that there could be another person involved.
People normally start taking care of their physical looks when they’re trying to impress somebody and/or when they feel motivated by another person. That’s why your ex could start to wonder if you’d met someone.
11)I’m at my favorite place with my favorite person
This is one of those statuses that can backfire on you. Be careful not to use it if your breakup just occurred.
Since your new favorite person can’t be someone you just met, use this jealousy status only after enough time has passed since the breakup. We’re talking about months of time if your relationship was long-term.
12)Thank you for all the planning and thought that went into creating a beautiful memory for me. You sure know how to make someone’s day!
The reason this could be a status that makes your ex jealous is that it could make your ex wonder who the person making you feel cherished is.
Is it a friend, a coworker, or perhaps a person you’ve ben dating? This is something your ex could try to figure out
13)Starting my day right with the right person
If you publicly state that you’re starting your day right with the right person, you’ll leave it up to your ex to interpret your message however he or she wants.
You’ll essentially make your ex think about whether you’re starting your day with someone new or if you’re merely hoping to do that.
Either way, it should make your ex ponder about what you meant.
14)Thank you for your thoughtful gift! I had never received anything like this before
This status could make your ex jealous because it could make your ex contemplate who you received a gift from.
15)Thanks for making me laugh. You must be the funniest person I’ve met because I can’t stop laughing
Nothing will make your ex more jealous than showing your ex that you’re over him or her and that you’re having the laugh of your life with someone new.
Don’t forget to add the laughing emojis.
16)My hopes, dreams, and wishes have come true
This is yet another ambiguous line that could mean many things.
But generally speaking, it indicates that the present is incredibly important to you and that something you’ve been hoping for has happened to you.
This something could be:
- a good job/business opportunity
- passing exams/being accepted into places
- a new boyfriend/girlfriend
- winning the lottery
- anything… possibilities are endless
17)I never knew sky-gazing with someone I just met could be so relaxing
Many people enjoy staring at the stars. But when you say that you’re enjoying this activity with someone you’ve met, you tell a completely different story.
It basically means that you’re alone with a new person and that you’re enjoying yourself.
18)Everyone deserves to be happy. Let’s uplift those who are struggling
This status indicates that you aren’t seeking emotional support, but that you’re generously offering it to those who need it.
If your ex sees this status, he or she could realize that you’re doing well and that you’re fighting for a good cause.
19)If I could go back in time and change one thing about my life, I would make sure that I travel more
Feel free to replace the word “travel” with anything you enjoy. The point of this status is to prove to your ex that his or her departure isn’t your biggest regret.
Your biggest regret needs to be something pleasant you wish you would have spent more time on.
20)Yesterday was great, but today will be even better!
This optimistic status can show your ex that you haven’t been this happy before.
21)Your weirdness plus my weirdness equals perfect weirdness
Unhappy exes who have some feelings left for their ex-partner hate seeing their ex-partner infatuated with another person. They hate it (or rather feel jealous by it) because they wish they were as happy as their ex.
So feel free to post a status that makes your ex jealous and watch your ex react to it.
Just don’t blame me if you get blocked as some exes can’t stand seeing their ex happy/spam their social media.
22)Life just keeps getting better and better!
If you don’t know what quote or status to post, know that you can’t go wrong with a positive message.
The more positive the better.
23)I’m super grateful for everything you’ve done for me
This is yet another way to express gratitude and positivity. Feel free to use this status if you’d like to thank someone for his or her kindness, and at the same time, make your ex wonder who the mysterious samaritan is.
24)Party at my place tonight. House rules: Don’t drink more than you can handle
A great way to show you don’t care about your ex anymore is to prove to him or her that you have other things in your life to worry about.
25)I don’t think I can go out tonight. My abdominal muscles still hurt from laughing
If you want to make your ex jealous, post happy pictures that prove you’re enjoying your social life.
26)I really enjoyed the trip. I can’t wait to do it again
Exes often get jealous when they see their dumpee become enthusiastic about something. Your ex could too if he or she sees you making plans and going out a lot.
27)I can’t believe I never tried bungee jumping before. It was so much fun!
If you post an activity that your ex had been meaning to do with you but never did, your ex could feel that he or she is missing out.
Just make sure that your ex really wanted to do it.
28)Life’s been way too kind to me recently. I wish it would stay that way.
Use this line to convey to your ex that ever since he or she left your life’s been going great for you.
29)I’ve been partying without a break for a week. Today is my rest day. Please don’t call me
Just another way of saying that you’re busy thinking about anything other than your ex.
30)I feel so elated!!
This online status could make your ex think that your elation has something to do with his/her departure.
As you’ve probably noticed by now, none of these statuses are aimed at your ex. They’re statuses that showcase success, happiness, gratitude, and selflessness.
So do what you have to do to show that you’re moving on, enjoying your life, and working on yourself.
I hope you like any of the statuses that make your ex jealous. If you do or if you know any good ones, post them below.

Thank you Zan 🤍
He’s done with u move on
Hi Gary, I know. It’s my first breakup I’m only 19 so it’s a little hard to understand and process everything. Especially when i’ve seen every ex-couple my age still engage with one another. It’s hard to swallow that he can pretend I no longer exist after 4 years of being together. I’m trying LOL
Hi Zan,
My ex removed me from his socials 4 months after the breakup (cuz i posted myself going out on his birthday instead of wishing him, he dumped me btw) He left me on insta and I removed him from there cuz I didn’t want him to have more power and remove me from there himself too. We broke up around 9 months ago. However, he still speaks to my close friends who post me occasionally and he watches everything with me in it. I have a public twitter tho so is it a good idea to post stuff like this there? I’m sure he stalks me on it and everything else is private so I’m wondering if it’s a good idea or if I should just stay lowkey? We’ve been indefinite nc because he ghosted my messages after the breakup and he also hasn’t reached out yet.
Hi Liliana.
If you’re ging to post happy statuses, do it for yourself and don’t aim them at your ex. You’ll be alright as long as you’re moving on.
Kind regards,
Zan
Hi Zan,
I’m just afraid of posting anything at all because I’m scared that things I say will somehow get to him (due to mutuals). I would never aim smth at him tho but even happy stuff, i’m afraid that i’ll sound fake. However, sometimes he is on my mind when I’m posting publicly (for ex- if my friends post me I keep thinking abt what he’ll think when he sees it) Any suggestions on how to overcome this? I’m tired of having him linger in my mind or the “i’m ok, i’m not ok” swings. I understand that it’s a part of healing but I hate that I still can’t fully move on. I’ve tried everything…
Delete everything for him… Everything
Private that twitter as well, you’re currently fighting a one sided battle you can’t win and you’re just making him feel more empowered because he knows you can’t move on.
His ego boost must be massive right now.
Make new friends
Don’t talk about him.
And don’t check is Socials.
Btw, idk much about your relationship but you are most likely hurt because you spent 4 years investing in him and helping him move forward to the life that you both envisioned.
You as a loving gf pushed him forward and helped him excel.
Then the moment he got bored and didn’t feel like he needed you
he left. So now you feel empty because you gave him everything.
You feel alone, tired, weak and vulnerable.
And because of that you feel as though you
are going insane. (I’m in the same boat so I can relate)
I won’t tell you to move on because that shit can be hard.
But what I will tell you is don’t stay still. Find you’re flaws fix them
and become the best you you can possibly be.
Grow from this experience and make mistakes. Don’t be scared
to piss people off.
Btw, as I write this I assume you’re relationship with him was toxic
and he was very abusive (verbally) with you.
You don’t need that shit
If you need more words just let me know.
Hi Daniel, thank you so much for your kind words and advice I seriously appreciate it so much! I believe that you misunderstood a few things however all of this was still very helpful. I feel like you have much more experience than me and I’d definitely want to talk to you abt this anonymously. I don’t want to spam this article so can I contact you on reddit or somewhere else? If not, it’s ok! but thank you so much 🙂
