I feel bad...

I went out with my ex for 3years, broke up ages ago (18months). I haven't had a relationship since. He had a gf who didn't like me, it was all complicated but they broke up & now me & my ex are good friends. He has another gf, he's just told me they are having trouble. Secretly I kind of like it cos I don't like her being more important to him than me, bitchy I know. Will I stop feeling like this & is it common? I miss him but don't actually want to be back together...:confused:

Yeah i'd say it's common.

I have not long broke up with mine, and although i care for her i'm not desperately trying to get back with her, i hope it happens in the future..but for now it's a no no.
I want her to be happy, even if it's not with me...but at the same time it would kill me if she was with somebody else...it's not having her that scares me, it's her being with other people.
So i'd say it's normal, don't worry.

Although 18 months is a long time, not saying your feelings should have gone...but, you need to take your mind off it!
