OK...so I broke up with this girl about 3 years ago and for the next two years we still fooled around and what not. Well, about a year ago a fell in love with this gorgeous girl who is perfect for and much better in every aspect than my ex. Well, now that my ex is moving on I find myself upset that she doesn't still like me. Like it really gets to me. I mean ...my ex wasn't even good looking as mean as that is and I just can't help but be bothered. Why? Why am I feeling like this.
I love my current girlfriend and in no way ever want to go out with my ex ever again. What's wrong with me? I'm crazy aren't I?
Hey I totally know how you feel man! LoL so there is def nothing wrong with you feeling the way that you do.Plus you asked if you were crazy? haha well love is crazy so I guess you have an excuse to be =)
I would say the reason why you feel the way you do, is that while you said that you broke up with your ex girlfriend 3 years ago. Really you only broke up with her like a year ago. So don't go kidding yourself that you have been broken up with her longer than that. Even though you guys didn't have a full on relationship for 3 years you were still having some sort of a relationship after that as well.
If you still have feelings for her, it could be for a number of reasons. The first one is that while your new girlfriend may be amazing, your still getting to know her and you probably have not known her as much as your ex girlfriend. But don't worry provided that you spend more time with her and your relationship develops your feelings with her will grow more intensely.
Secondly I think this is hard for you, because you have to finally come to terms with the fact that your relationship with your ex is FINALLY over. Sorry to say it buddy but you prolonged your pain, by continuing to be friends and muck around with her after you officially broke up. So you are still feeling some old breakup emotions that people normally deal with straight after a breakup.
Thirdly I think that you liked that small hope that maybe you guys would get back together.You know even it was the smallest inkling. Her having a new boyfriend like totally killed that hope ... so your a bit upset
I don't know what the situation is, but if you are still talking to her then I would say to stop. Just in the meantime. You guys need to go and live your own separate lives now and then maybe in the future like in a year from now, then you can be friends with no more of those hurtful breakup or jealous feelings.
Just kidding. Basically everyone likes to feel wanted, even if we don't want the people wanting us. Make sense? Sometimes it's hard when someone we've liked starts moving on because we realize they're really over us and we won't be able to count on them being there when we want or need that pick me up. Feel it, accept it and let it go :)
That's a normal feelings since you still have some residual concern for her. I don't think it's crazy. I think it's a good sign - means that you can care about a girl for a long time, as opposed to forgetting about her shortly thereafter. That should help you be successful in your current long-term relationship.
The most likely reason you feel this way is because you still have feelings for her. You are not crazy for still having feeling for her. I still have feeling for some of my ex's, but you can't let those feeling get in the way of the new relationship.
