I think im insane... I have no idea why, i tend to mind about my bf's ex gf so much... As in, i can view her blog and friendster all the time and i care about what she does probably because she's still kinda interested in my bf at that moment of time... But now that she's attached, i will still think of viewing her blogs and friendster all the time, probably coz im used to it... N i mind, why do she still put the photos she and my bf used to take... I guess im too possessive... Or maybe im insane... Does anyone else bother bout their bf/gf's ex as much as i do? Actually, i dun wanna be like that, its pretty horrible... I just wanna stay happy with my bf...=)

I don't actually mind at all. For me its part of the past already why bother about it. Not unless if they're still seeing each other. That I would be bothered. But I don't criticize you for doing or feeling like that. Sometimes we do that out of curiousity and to boost ourself in our own way. Like you compared your achievements or personality with her without actually noticing it. But better if you refrain from doing it because she might think that you're affected or affected by her.

Well maybe you can talk to your boyfriend about it. It's hard to enjoy the relationship if somebody from the past is still clinging. And mind if I ask? Is she still important to your boyfriend?

Don't feel terrible about it. I am the same with you too. Actually I am a jealous person too. I do mind about my husbands' ex. He had three previous relationships before he met and that makes me his number fourth. And because of that definitely I am not his first love. First love is always the best love and of course I am being jealous about this. So, don't worry if you bother about your boyfriend's ex. It's normal for us to feel jealous. Just don't overjealous, that's all. Have a nice day!

Yesh, i understand what u meant... Im not my bf's first gf either but neither is he my first... SO i guess it equals out... Actually i feel great to know im not the only one feeling this way.. I used to think im the only weirdo who does this u noe? Like he thinks i think too much, far too much for my own good and for our good... But yah, im always trying to do things better then before... So i hope for this time, i can let go of the ex and forget bout her existance though its really pretty hard as the girl is pretty close with his friends and thus, the often meeting up... Makes me feels a little insecure though... But i guess i must learn to appreciate the present, appreciate him and let go of the past... his past... and perhaps we can create magic in that way... =)

Does he know this insecurity? What does he do about it? Actually, I did have the same problem with my partner now. The EX has always been the topic of our fights. He always tells me that he doesn't feel anything about her anymore and that he loves me. But I can't help but act up when the name comes up or if she messages him. It's natural for women to feel this way I guess. But it would not be normal if we keep this thing intact in our minds ~ It simply ruins the magic between us and our men. I told my partner about this and told him about my fears and insecurities. He now does something about it, by being careful not to mention the name and avoiding the circumstance of them talking or meeting. And he always shows me that it's me who he loves. In your case, talk to your boyfriend about it. Plus let her go. Stop looking at her blogs and searching all information about her, just think of her as past. Looking at her blog isn't healthy at all. You are making yourself more insecure about the person by getting to know her. Go talk to your boyfriend but make sure the talk is serious and not just out of jealousy, tell him to help you get through the insecurity. If he loves you, he'll avoid you being hurt. Good luck to you.

I guess he knows... Because i have told him bout this before and he understands... Hes not doing anything to make me feel insecure... But i guess im just not confident of myself... For him, he thinks... Whats there to worry? For me, i think... Whats there not to worry? Ur bf's ex still msgs him? I guess in that case... If i were u... I will feel so much mroe insecure... For my bf, he doesnt text them or communicate with them much even though they see each other pretty often... That is something hes trying to do and maintain to make me more secure and for that, im thankful to him... Becoz i noe at least hes concern about my thinking and my worries... Yesh... I certainly get what u are trying to say... I will try hard to let her go in my mind and let that barrier be dissolved... I dun wan her to be in our quarrels anymore... My bf's great... I love him... Thus i wouldnt wanna let him go too... I mean... Its not worth it right? Quarreling over something non-existant..

No my partner doesn't message her. Yeah you are right, it's not worth fighting the person you love with someone not existing in his mind or heart. I guess your bf is trying hard to make you feel secure. You should try to do your part too. =)

It bothers me, probably as much as it bothers you. Ha, well im one of the most jealous people ever - thats my problem lol. I tell myself its the past but its hard to accept i know, but yeah you should just enjoy what you have and try not to let it bother you too much- it may lead to arguements and upsets. Thankfully me and my boyfriend have made it this far so yeah we hope to spend the rest of our lives together, which i know we will. Good luck with everything :)

I had been in your shoes once..and I admit, until now. For me, I guess I just want to know how the ex cope with her life. In my case, it would be more of a bit of conscientious act because I stole her bf away from her.

Oh, then thats quite different because u were the one who stole her bf.. She must have hated u then... But im sure since things are over, she might probably have gotten it over... Move on too... Thinking of her might make u n ur guy quarrel... Recently, i jus learned how to talk to my guy n her ex cooly... As in, my guy doesnt feels offended when i mentione bout her anymore.. He used to think i like digging his past... But im not...

No, of course it is not normal. But it is really not simple not to mind about the ex's. I did not check your age, but I suppose you are quite young. When I begin to be thinking about other girls and my boyfriend, it allways turnes into a quarrel. But if you know why do you care with that girl, you can forget about her easier. Well, you do not have enough SELFTRUST. So, first you should realize, that your boyfriend is with you. ANd he will be with you till you will be the best for him. So, yes, we have to work for the men continously. The men like us first of all our KINDNESS, SEXUALITY, and yes they love to eat too. So, till you nice with him, and give special experience in the bed he will stay with you AND YOU WILL BE HIS QUEEN. So, just TRUST IN YOURSELF. (it is not always easy, I know!!) My other wisdom from my age. The men wants us, till they belive, that we are not theirs totally. As soon, as they realize, that we are hanging on them they do not need us anymore. So let a little private life for yourself, without him. And trust in yourself :) Good LUCK!

Yesh, im not tt old, but sensible enough to think... Im 21 already... But i have no idea why, i jus think its pretty hard to let go not to think... Frankly, i dun wanna think as well... Coz i think it will just sets us in a dilemma whereby we will either quarrel like hell, if not both of us will be so unhappy... Yah, i admit i dun have much self esteem... Thats why i tend to be over protective and over conscious about whos getting around with my bf... I hope time changes everytime... Especially my stupid nonsensical behaviour... =P

I guess it is because humans are possessive, what's mine is mine, and seeing his ex still posting pictures of them together makes you feel uneasy. The thought of knowing they had a history makes it uncomfortable because you really never know how deep their relationship was. But then, you are with him now, and you can make the best out of the time you spend together, the past is gone and it is time for you to write your story and make history together. Therefore, loosen up and enjoy his company, I know it is inevitable to be checking out his exes profile from time to time, but that doesn't matter as long as you don't make any unnecessary actions towards it.

I know im with him now, and i can make the best out of the time we spend together, the past is gone and it is time for you to write our story and make history together. But sometimes, i guess it jus bothers me too much... I know its time i let go... Of his past... Even i do, much less him... So i shouldnt think too much.. But then again, sometimes seeing makes me think alot... I dun wanna be the jealous queen here... Keke... I guess i must try to be stronger and braver to face comments, his friends and his ex... Good luck to me and thanks for responding...

I don't really mind about them. Past is past and if he doesn't care about them anymore why should I? He is not in contact with them anymore and even if he was, he is with me, not with them. Maybe if she was still after him or interested in him I would care but she has moved on with her life and already has a new boyfriend so I don't really care about her.

I guess its normal, but you should try to play it down over time. Trust is necessary in a healthy relationship. Instead of spending so much time on your bf's ex blogs and friendster, dream up something nice and romantic to do with your bf. I'm sure that will improve your relationship.

I think were the same... i used to view her friendster account and her friends account to view some of their pics... bec she keeps on texting my bf even f were already together and to think they're just neighbors. it did get to my system...and yes im jealous of it. even now if shes already married now i still do view her account from time to time. i just can't help it though... some of their friends actually joked that her baby looks like my bf! and that thought made me suffer in paranoia! but my bf assures me that he is mine now...

Exactly... I can understand perfectly how u feel... My bf and her ex are neighbours and i mean its just so close... Shes attached now but everytime i visit, i sees her... N their parents are so close, everything jus turns me off and thinking how happy they used to be... It makes me feels so... Argh... Unhappy... Good thingy is the girl doesnt text my bf, but i wouldnt noe if when im not around, do they talk or anything... I cant stand the joke if i were u... I mean its so mean... I would keep thinking till i go bersak... But jus relax and dun let others affect u and ur relationship ya... Keep things going...

I think your just being paranoid not being possesive cause its a different meaning you know? being possesive is being jelous but being paranoid is being suspescious. I think your just afraid that your bf would go back to his ex gf,but being x literary means its the past you should not bother thinking of it and just trust your bf on your new relationship.Good Luck!

Perhaps im a little of both? Im not sure myself... I wanna quit both u noe? I mean its not nice to be always holding on the past and why must i suffer in their past relationships? It just doesnt makes sense, right? I must be an idiot to think that much... But i must be so stupid to link things up too... Right? Anyway, thanks for the comments... =)

you're a girl? sorry. i talk so much about i had pee in my grandmother's kitchen in your another's discussion. i am really sorry. if you mind your boyfriend's ex, it mean you love him. if you never mind about that, you don't love him. but don't mind too much about that. he had ever in love with other girl just you have not turn on. once you appear in his sight, he is yours.
