I guess this is human nature? I'm at the stage in the break up where I see that it's a good thing; that we probably wouldn't have been happy long term and that it ended before things went "bad." But, I'm very much in the stage of "I don't want him but I don't want anyone else to have him either." In the past, I think I've stayed in bad relationships, just because the thought of my partner being with someone else was too much to handle. Something to bring up with my therapist, I guess. But, I wanted to know how prevalent this feeling is with everyone else?

Hi luna1940,


I've not heard of a 'jealous stage' in the grieving process.
