Why do I feel like this?

[DutchWelshWolf]

Ok so some of you know that a year ago, I posted a thread begging for advice because my boyfriend of a year and a half was dumping me.
If anyone wants to read that, then you will have to search the forum.

A year later, and I don't know where I stand. I am over him. Or so I am telling myself. I no longer think about him, I no longer daydream or dream about him, I no longer cry over him. We never contact each other outside of school, and if we talk inside school then its a civil chat. Neither of us are flirting with each other and neither of us are nasty to each other. Its just civil.

However, the girl that I got paranoid about and thought he was cheating on me with last year before he dumped me, I noticed was now getting closer to him. He said he doesn't fancy her and wont go out with her. But I know he could be lying because he lied to everyone about our relationship (in other words if people asked him if he was seeing me, when we were together, he would say no.) So I can't trust him. But when I see him and this girl together, I feel sort of jealous. I hate admitting that because I thought a year later after he dumped me, I would be over him. So why do I feel jealous? It's not the jealous like "He has moved on and probably has a girlfriend, whereas I don't have a boyfriend" because I'm not looking for a boyfriend. It's the jealous like "Why is he with her when he could be with me?"

Can someone just help me here. It's not a major problem, yet. But I avoided the prom because I didn't want to see him and her together

Simply people get jeouse of what they think they own in a way I gusse.
I would say just stop paying him much attention.
Try to distract yourself & not know about his dating life.

This is a very natural feeling. It must have been difficult to see him at school almost everyday. I would say you are not completely over him. Even if you were i think there would still be a bit of jealousy there. Give it time, find other people. New people, there are cooler, nicer, better looking people out there. Keep yourself occupied with them and let him feel the jealousy. Even if he ended it he will HATE seeing you with someone else. Its all natural. Try not to worry too much about it and give yourself some time.

Take care,
