ex- girlfriend type trouble

this might be long, but thanks
im not too sure about my current feelings about my ex girlfriend.
we were going out for a year and a half but split up at the start of last year. i split up with her coz i didnt wanna go out with her anymore, we argued too much etc etc (its actually hard to currently relate to that person) anyhow, when we split up, i kinda was a bad person, didnt really make the effort to see her (as friends) when she was clearly very upset etc etc (again, cant really relate to this person)
anyway, we gradually grew apart and i saw 2 new girls, but each time, i was constantly comparing them to my ex. and thats why they didnt work out. at the start of last summer, i heard she was kinda seeing this new guy which i knew, and it deeply hurt. like nothing has ever hurt before. so i decided i wanted her back. i saw her a few times, but all the reasons i wanted to split up with her came back and nothing was made of it. then i saw her again towards the end of last yr, and she wasnt really very nice to me. which hurt. and when she hugged me, i never wanted to let her go. so she wasnt very nice too me, i guess she had properly moved on. ive heard about her new friends etc etc
anyway, since then, i think about her sometimes, what shes doing and all that
and i hate the thought of her being with someone else. i dont want another gf, i think i wanna go back out with her. but she wants nothing to do with me. i was saying to my friend earlier, it would hurt if she was with someone else, so if im with her she cant be with someone else

AAAARRRRRRRRGHHHH!!! im so confused :frown: :frown: :frown: :frown: :frown:

what thoughts do you good people have?
Of course you're jealous, we're always jealous of our exs. Nobody wants them to be happier than they are.

Time is a great healer. Go enjoy your life and don't waste any more time on a relationship that doesn't work.

no one else has an opinion on this, i thought folk loved posting about this kinda stuff

AAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRGGGGHHHH, THE STRESSSSSS
be careful you're not romanticising her and remembering it to be better than it was. wanting to go out with her just so she cannot go out with someone else is not grounds for a relationship; it means you arent over her and need to either a) cut her out for a bit b) view her more in a 'friends' context so that you can get used to this new version of your relationship.

had similar situation with my ex recently, thought might be falling back in love with him, but a few drinks in the pub gave me the closure i needed to realise that whilst i still care v deeply, another relationship with him wouldnt work because the same things would still be wrong.

Sound advice here. It's perfectly natural to be jealous, and believe me over time it WILL get better.

you're just jealous. I just come out of a situation like this (though never got the jealousy phase for some reason). Getting back with her would be the worst thing ever because after she falls back in love with you, the jealousy will go and you'll end up wishing you'd stayed apart (if you couldn't relate to her in the first place, I doubt you'd be able to now)

Find yourself another girl and start with her from scratch, try not to let your past experiences affect the way you see her.
Your ex set the standard, that's why you always compared your new girls to her, i made that mistake a few times and it is very hard to break but you will never be able to move unless you stop comparing every girl who takes an interest in you to your ex. You must stop doing that otherwise you will never get a nother girl, no one in your eye will ever be able to measure up to your ex thats how i felt and i hated feeling like that, because at the time i hated my ex and i hated feeling i would never find anyone as good as him.
