Why can't I let go of my ex?

Question

I don't feel like I'm a jealous person. I don't even feel like have a reason to be.I have a perfect, beautiful girlfriend who's everything I ever wanted.I'm lucky to be with her and want only the best for us. It's 5:45 in the morning where I'm from and I'm up though. Laying in bed I can't help but think about the girl I let go a few months back. Before my current relationship we dated a year and I thought she was the one.I loved her.Then she needed time and broke up before the summer. I did my thing and found my new girlfriend in the meantime. When this semester started my ex made an attempt to reenter my life.As much as I wanted her I couldn't just brush my new girl aside, she was starting to mean a great deal to me and was too nice to just be a rebound girl. Needless to say my relationship has gotten better and better but now my ex has one too. He's older than me,2or3 years out of college and they're moving along fast. She doesn't talk to me anymore, I wnder if she thinks of me

Answer 1

Probably she thinks of you, but she's moved on and it sounds like for good. You were not available when she came around again and neither of you is available now. Focus on your new girlfriend or break up with her. She deserves better than you pining for your unavailable ex and it will hurt a lot less if you break up with her now rather than stringing her along if you don't think it will work out. But if you like her, then forget the ex and focus on the current girl

Answer 2

Its easy to get hung up on the past, especially because your ex is kinda still in the picture.
If she needed "time out", shes not worth waiting for.
Be appreciative of what you have now and put all your energies into making your current relationship work.
Its human nature to want what we cant have, even if its not good for us....the grass is NEVER greener on the otherside.
Be strong and try not to let your ex ruin your current life.
