Is it normal to be jealous of your ex's current gf even though you ended it?

Me and my bf were together for two and a half years. He cheated on me two or three times but i took him back. The day after I ended it he started seeing a friend of mine. We didn't talk for about six months after, but now everytime i hear about him or see him i obsess and get jealous of his new girlfriend. IIN?

    You dumped him.

    You don't have any right to complain about him moving on.

    So it hurts your ego that he replaced you. You already knew he was a cheater anyway.

    It's time you stopped playing the "pity me" drama card, pull your pants up, and move on.

    How you feel is totally normal, but you should try to avoid them and not think about it. You don't want him back, you're just upset he moved on so fast. He sounds like a spiteful little shit, ignore your jealous feelings, theyre normal but not helpful.

  • Yes its normal. I broke up with my bf and he went out with this other girl and I actually got sooooo jealous that i ended having him brake up with her to go back out with me.

  • Sure but that's what people mean when they say "let it go, move on." You don't "own" him (figuratively) in any sense at all is what you have to constantly remind yourself of. It takes a while for our thoughts & emotions - all so committed to and involved in that person 24/7 for years - to get used to that.

    Not only do you not own him, you tossed him for good reason and so have no reason to envy or be jealous of anyone. Its a cliche to say you are better off without him - but honestly - he cheats on you? Then the day after it ends goes after your friend. What a shallow cad!

    Anyway - it takes time for the mind & body to get used to a new reality: and you just have to remind yourself of what this is really about here and now (he's not yours to worry about): and not think as if things are as they where.
