Ex has a new girlfriend.
I'm 16 years old and female. I had a boyfriend for over 2 years and we broke up at the beginning of the summer. I broke up with him, because I didn't really have feelings for him anymore, and he didn't treat me very well. Anyway, I've had a few boyfriends since him, and it was awful for him because he desperately wanted me back. Well now, I'm single, and he just told me that he has a new girlfriend. I'm extreemly jealous, and I can't think about anything else. Why are my feelings suddenly coming back, and why can't I get him off my mind?

These feelings are normal. You were very close to him. Even though you don't feel the same towards him anymore, some feelings linger. I am inclined to think they never go away completely.
For example, my ex and I broke up around 9 years ago. My high school sweetheart and I got back together. We went to my ex's wedding and even though I was very much in love with the person I was (and still am) with, I felt insanely jealous. They got divorced. I have been married 7 years now. My ex is engaged again and I still get a twinge of jealousy. I love my husband (the high school sweetheart) and wouldn't dream of being with my ex again (unless it is one of my bizarre dreams that make no sense . . . but that isn't important), but I still am friends with him and some of the love we had is still there.
The thing to remember is that you broke up for a reason. He is not the one for you. What you are feeling is from the past, not the present, and you need to just carry on with your life.
Making the feelings harder is the fact that you are now single. Some of what you feel is more likely jealousy that he has someone and you don't. But you are young and will have plenty of boyfriends. Enjoy your single time while you can.

Because you're an idiot teenager, but don't worry, you'll grow out of it.

i kinda had this happen to me except we were only going out for 4 months and he got a new girl friend the next day. i wasn't jealous i was just mad. i didn't like him anymore and was happy when we broke up but i still thought about him alot. i learned how to focus on other things like my friends and just have fun being single again. go somewhere with friends that's just a girls night out or something like that. i think the biggest mistake people do is confuse jealousy and left-over love. don't hang on to him. keep moving on and don't go back because it will only make it worse. maybe find a new guy to focus on. good luck

When you have strong feelings for someone and even love them, it`s hard to just let them go. Being friends with him might be too hard or help you. Try talking to him and give him hints about how you feel. Maybe he`s purposely trying to make you jealous because you still loves and misses you? Hope things work out. ♥
