So, my girlfriend and I broke up about two months ago, and just recently she's started talking to this new girl via Facebook of all things. They've met, and are going on a date later this week. I'm definitely not over her, and it's incredibly painful to hear about them talking, or any sort of interaction they have. And I find myself getting really worked up over petty, trivial things. I mean, my ex has told me that she doesn't even really like her, but she's just sort of seeing where things go because the opportunity arose.
I just...I know it's ridiculous to get insanely jealous over the fact that they talked over the internet...I mean, I know in my logical mind that it's not that big of a deal. It's not like she's sleeping with anyone yet. Even though I know this, and that I'm making a huge deal out of, it still really really hurts to see that she's making steps toward moving on. And I've sort of gone past the whole "incapacitated by pain" phase and am now in a more angry/crazy psycho bitch phase. And it's terrible, and I hate that I'm doing this, but just some of the thoughts I'm having about this other girl are ridiculous! And I never ever ever thought that I'd be a crazy ex-girlfriend overcome with jealousy, but here I am. And it feels so incredibly pathetic. I mean, my ex and I ended on good terms, we don't want to lose touch and we still care about each other (we were friends a long time before we went out) but I find myself sort of putting a strain on things when we talk, because I make such a huge deal out of every little thing. I know it's natural to be hurt and whatnot, but is there any way to sort of avoid this whole overreactive pettiness?
