I haven't posted here in awhile, but it feels good to be back. My ex and I broke up last June after almost four years together. It was quite a battle trying to move on and start over again, and I don't think i would ever want to go through that hurt and pain again. I have since started dating someone new, he is so wonderful, and i couldn't be happier. things seem to be going so well. BUT- yesterday i heard from my ex and he told me all about his new girlfriend. he said she was cuter than me and went on to say just how wonderful she is, blah blah blah. and its not like i want him back or anything but that seriously shot a hole right through my stomach. it hurt so bad to hear him say that and i just dont want to feel this way. i keep thinking about them being together and i wish i wouldn't. is something wrong with me? is it normal to feel this way? shouldn't i be happy for him being i also have moved on and found someone i get along better with?
I just wondered what you all thought.

Pianoguy thinks you should realize that the EX is "yesterday's garbage" and that any comments he makes in the future are just his way of 'chipping away at the grass' (I believe that's a golfing term, isn't it?).
What you need to concentrate on is making "par" with your new b/f. The course the 2 of you are pursuing is new and exciting. Focus on this instead of anything the EX expresses.
Besides...why let an old worn-out 'putter' get to you......now that you're playing with a brand new set of clubs?
