That depends on who you are talking about. If you mean treated better by your ex, that would depend on what kind of person he is. If he tends to hold on to resentment and revenge, then probably not. At least not in the short term.
If you mean will your good acts be returned to you from others, there are many ways to look at it. Your actions and attitude can be seen by others and influence how they treat you in return. If you are referring to receiving 'blessings' as a result of your actions, then that is a matter of your beliefs.

This is a lot like the whole science versus art with explaining life question. It all depends on the situation. Life can not be defined by the Law of Syllogism (if a then b and if b then c then if a then c). The only way to insure that you are being treated better by this person is to sit down together and state what you want.

Not necessarily. To say that you were treated better, because of treating your ex a specific way could be considered post hoc ergo propter hoc (after this; therefore, because of this). After treating your ex a specific way, it follows that being treated better is caused by you treating your ex that specific way. This is not necessarily the case.
A occured, then B occured
Therefore, A caused B
"I treated my ex in a way I wanted to be treated, then I was treated better. Thus, treating my ex the way I wanted to be treated is what caused my better treatment."
This isn't necessarily the case, but it's possible that it could be--it would take much evidence to show that this were the case. Besides, treating someone the way you want to be treated is right in and of itself, not because you get something out of it. That's the basic understanding of the principle.

BAH!
Two things jumped out at me here...
EX
and
even though it hurts
He's your EX! Leave him behind! Assuming that there are no children with him... Who gives a dam how you treat him, or how he treats you, or how he treats the chickens, or his new girlfriend, or his boss...
Why waste your time and energy on this loser anyway. He left you, he must be an idiot!
Don't do anything that causes you this kind of pain.
There's a reason why he's your ex. Let go! and Let the healing begin!
*hugs*

that can happen, sometimes, but there is no guarantee, sometimes you can treat others very well, and not receive that back from them
i would say treat the ex in the way you think you should, expecting nothing back, if you get what you want in return that will be a plus, but either way you will feel that you did the right thing

I dont really understand why you would hurt...is this the way you treat your husband?..in a way that hurts? I dont get it.
I agree that when we treat people well, no matter how they treat us, we get to sleep at night and look at ourselves in the mirror with self respect and dignity.
On the other hand, if we act as "doormats" for others, we can only expect that they'll wipe their feet on us. If I dont want to be a doormat, it is up to ME to get UP off the floor.
Happy Thanksgiving.

Possibly I wouldn't count on it though. Just give the ex up and move on.. if there's a slight chance that it will hurt you than why do it?

Are you saying you want to be treated bad?
That's okay for the bedroom, but I don't recommend it for regular everyday life
