Question hi. so, my on and off boyfriend of 7 years and i broke up a few months ago. and now he is dating a 18 year old girl (he is 24). and im just having so much trouble with it... i dont know why. i know shes wild and is doing !everything! he wants her to do...if you know what i mean. so, its alot of jealousy and alot of shock & grossed out. how can i get past this and stop thinking about it so much? and am i wrong for feeling this way?
Answer Hi, Amy. Thanks for your question and I am sorry about your feelings. It's quite normal feeling bitter under your circumstances.
The battle you must fight and win is only against YOURSELF. You must move on and rise above your past, and your ex boyfriend's current dating partner.
You must stop comparing yourself to her! This is pointless and very harmful.
You must stop taking the break-up personally as a statement that she is better than you. She is not. It's was just a choice of one, single man.
You must pursue other things in your life professional, socially and academically and spend time with other men in order to avoid obsessing over that guy.
What you feel will time to get over but with the conscious effort and keeping the above points in mind, you will beat the feelings you have right now and it will be a very liberating experience.
