    Dear emilia:

    “He apologized to me and I sincerely said that I  forgive him, so why am I still feeling like this?”-

    – my guess answer is that you are comparing yourself to your ex’s new girlfriend because he cheated on you, but more significantly, because you were “always the jealous type”. I am guessing that as a child someone in your family, maybe a parent, preferred someone else over you and you felt hurt and jealous. Or maybe in school, teachers or peers preferred other children over you, and you felt left out and envious of the people who got the positive attention that you didn’t get.

    Any truth to my guessing?

    Hello emilia,

    Life is hard isn’t it? You get into a relationship you want, and feels safe and secure, and still the past comes back and stings you.

    If you are truly happy in your current relationship, then may I ask, what is bothering you about your ex’s life?
    What needs to happen for you to feel at peace and happy?
    Does your ex need to be miserable? Do you need to be with someone else? Do you need to be better than your ex? Do you feel like you are threatened and it is a competition?

    You mentioned that he apologized, you forgave him, but why do you still feel like this?

    So I ask, did you forgive him so you can be at peace, or did you really from your heart forgive him?
    Because one is forgiving with a condition, your peace, whilst the other one is truly unconditionally forgiving him.

    It sounds like you are still connected to your ex, whether its hate, revenge or you are not over him. Or perhaps your current relationship is a rebound. But you need to find out what it is so you can move forward. Why does your ex’s love life bother you?
