Professional opinion.

As a qualified expert, let me say it is perfectly normal for you to harbor feelings of jealousy toward your wife's ex. He seems well endowed.

Yes, but it's not how fast it goes it the level of enjoyment that it obtained during the ride!

And of course, naturally we're all better looking.

I wouldn't be at all jealous of him.....unless his new wife is hotter than the old one????? Then, by all means, be green with envy.

And that could be the reason the ex now has the money for the cars.

If he ever pulls his financial strengh on you, just say this; "yep, she told me about your "little problem" and look deep into his eyes and smile

But then again, there's no reason to believe he had any problem.

Nothing "obvious" about it.

Maybe he can afford all the toys now because he doesn't have an expensive wife.

Looking "deep into his eyes" while assuming (hoping) he had a "problem" that you don't know anything about will make you look like an idiot.

What would you rather have his car collection or his wife ? Hopefully he's happier with the cars and you're happier with his x wife then it's a win win

Yes and by all means don't lose sight that we were not all dealt the same hand in life. Even with what he has, he surely knows people who he is jealous of (as there are maybe people jealous of you).

It's normal to be a little jealous for what he has. I'd love to have a new ZR1 but it'll never happen, my 96 will have to do. When I start to feel a little jealous of what other people have, I just listen to the song "Lucky Man" by Montgomery Gentry. If your have a great wife and kids I'd say you are a lucky man.
