My ex’s past crush?
Hello!
My ex broke up with me 2 months ago.
He had a crush on my best friend before we got together, but stopped liking her because she already had a boyfriend at the time. My best friend never had feelings for him and probably never will because she has a new boyfriend now and my ex doesn’t seem like her type.
Anyways, ever since the break up I feel like I’ve been constantly comparing myself to my best friend, and rather jealous of her personality in a way.
And whenever I see or imagine both my best friend and ex in the same area, it makes me feel really anxious, even if they’re not interacting or talking to each other at all. Just the idea/seeing them in the same place makes me feel anxious, and I don’t really understand this. For example, my best friend told me that my ex and his friend came by to where she works. He didn’t order anything, he was just mildly teasing her with his friend for a few minutes and left the store. This made me feel frustrated, sad, upset, jealous?, and anxious. I don’t want my ex’s life or feelings to concern me anymore. And I want to move on from him. But feelings like these are concerning atm. I’m not sure if it’s normal, or if I have to dig a little deeper to move on from him.
