Question Posted Wednesday January 26 2005, 1:42 pm
2 and a half weeks ago, my boyfriend broke up with me. I'm finding it really hard to get over him and today I found out that he has a new girlfriend. She's a girl who went to his primary school and he hasn't seen her for over two years. He says he likes her and all but I don't know if he's telling the truth or not. I spoke to her on MSN (I've never met her) and she seems nice, she said that if it was really bothering me then she would break up with my ex. I told her not to ruin things with him just because of me but I can't help feeling jealous. I love my ex and if his new girlfriend makes him happy then I hope they're happy together but it's still tearing me up inside. How do I deal with this?

MyPainIsReal answered Wednesday January 26 2005, 1:59 pm: I think you're being really positive about this and doing the right thing by saying you want them to be happy. That's a good thing of you to do. It's going to tear you up inside for a while. That's how getting over love is. You cry but one day you'll smile again. Just focus your mind on postitive things. Hang out with your friends and try to have a good time. Start writing down how you feel on paper so it isn't all bottled up inside so you can get over it faster. It helps to write things down so it's out. :) Try writing poems. But dont' let your self get too down. It didn't work, and that happens. Just try getting on with your life and be happy for them like you've said. That's good. Once you've healed you can try being friends with him? And try to get along with his girlfriend to risk the conflict. I think you all are handling this really maturely! Good job.. When you feel you're ready, try going on some dates so you can fully get over him and get on with your life. Break ups are always hard. Need anything else, let me know. :) [ MyPainIsReal's advice column | Ask MyPainIsReal A Question ]

That would put the question in everyone's mind on how well you really knew him. But use your friends and family as a support system. Don't lose sight that you've got your whole life ahead of you. Don't let yourself think that this is it. You can talk and even date other people. Not to tell you to go off and fall in love quickly but you never know that Mr. Right could be waiting for you out there and your ex was just someone to start with so you can bring something better to a newer and better relationship.

Since you'll be on the "dating market" again, maybe you'll find the perfect guy for you that will make you forget about your ex. That's the only way you could deal with it. Keep in the back of your mind, you need to get your heart broken a couple of times before you find the one that wont break your heart. You'll find the perfect guy, don't you worry. Just give it sometime!

As time goes by..the pain will ease and you'll be able to look back on the memories you shared and smile. You cant just tell yourself to stop liking him or thinking about him..because you cant control how you feel.
I hope things get bettter
