Meeting your ex after some time has passed and comparing details about your current lives - there is always a winner and a loser in a breakup. If your life is going significantly better than your ex's, then you "win the breakup" Coined by the TV show How I Met Your Mother.
I ran into my ex Susan the other day - she's working at a Dairy Queen and got knocked up by some douche. I totally won that breakup.

Man, stop watching TV and go get a job or something. Don't you want to win the breakup when you meet Jen at this year's reunion?

There are a few things you can do to accomplish this goal- first and foremost though, you need to bang a new girl(s). DO NOT, however, get a new girlfriend. This only exudes desperation and is a sure fire way to lose the breakup, miserably. Your Ex will think even less of you than when they broke up with you (another tip to win the breakup- initiate the breakup).
And if you do get a new girlfriend quick, make sure that they are at least better looking than your Ex, so your Ex isn't glad to see you stoop to new lows.
Bro 1: Dude she got right into another relationship. And with that guy? Damn, desperado much?
Bro 2 (initiator of breakup): Yeah, what a joke. She says she's winning the breakup. I call yet another victory in this breakup.
Bro 1: Yeah. That's just sad. You've definitely won the breakup.
