Is it normal to be intimidated by an ex that you don't even know?

My boyfriend dated this girl, who I know he loved, when he was 19 & maybe for two years after that. I didn't even know him when he dated her or his exgirlfriend that was before me, but for some reason, I find myself being intimidated by her. She's beautiful & he has mentioned her a few times. Most of the things that he has said weren't very good considering the fact that she gave him an std & that's how he found out she cheated on him. She's moved on & is living in NC with her new boyfriend who she's been with for a while. BUT WHY AM I SO CONCERNED ABOUT THIS GIRL? I know my boyfriend loves me & think I am beautiful. I need to stop thinking that he secretly loves her still. HELP! Any advise on this would be awesome.

    This is a normal reaction and you need to get over it, if you trust him and you really love him, you know that nothing can happen between your boyfriend and his ex ever again. anyway he would be crazy to take back a girl who gave him an std. c'mon. :)

    We all have a history. Ultimately, the most important relationship of our life is the person we end up sticking with. If that's you, then you shouldn't worry about this other girl (who sounds horrible anyway).

    You need to realize one thing, he's with you NOW. The past is the past. Unless he's bringing her up everyday, there is nothing to worry bout. I'm married and My girl knows of my high school sweet heart as the one girl who was the love of my life back then. We facebook once in a blue moon, but my girl don't trip cuz she moved on got married got kids, i got my kids too and dead love fades away to just foggy memories that don't have meaning nor purpose. Smile! And enjoy your love!
