What is WRONG with me???

Ok...so I am happily engaged...

About 4 months ago I told my ex to not contact me if he was going to get an attitude with me. He contacted me a couple days ago to say congrats on the engagement (which shocked me). The next day (yes, I brought it on myself) he told me that he had been dating my mortal enemy. The only reason she is my enemy is because he very nearly cheated on me with her when he and I were dating. Ok...to be fair...she kissed him and he said he didn't pull away like he should have. He also told me that they are roommates now (although they aren't dating now...they dated for nearly a year). So why the hell does it bother me so much? I can honestly say that he is the only person on the planet that I absolutely HATE. But for some reason, it really pissed me off thinking about him doing anything sexual with her. I don't understand myself. I shouldn't care...maybe I need to see a shrink about my anger issues...

I wouldn't call it an anger issue, more of a "he/she made me miserable, and so he/she should be miserable for life" thing. Or maybe that's just me. I've been there before (though I can't say that I currently hate any of my exs, though there have been time where I did), and I couldn't stand the thought of them with anyone else, even when I had no desire to be back together with them again. Just the thought of them being happy when I wasn't (or even when I was) just annoyed me to no end.

Granted, this post probably is of no help getting over it, but at least you know you aren't alone in those types of feeling

Well, I'm the LAST person to judge sanity (and personally, I prefer insanity to what the world around me considers sane ), but I've heard similar things from friends before, so you are most definitely not alone in this

First of all, congratulations on your engagement Is that your ring in your avatar? If so, it's beautiful!

Next, I don't think there's anything wrong with you at all. This is all to do with the ex boyfriend. The way I read it is that he's trying to manipulate you by playing with your feelings, telling you things he knows will piss you off or upset you. That is just not on. He seems to have some kind of need to hang on to a little piece of the past with you by bringing up something that he knows will hurt you.

My advice? Walk away from him. Leave it in the past. Let HIM deal with the fact you are going to marry another man, and don't let him manipulate your feelings anymore.

We all feel a little bit of pain when ex's get together with someone who should be out of bounds to them, but why did you need to know? Why did he choose to share that with you? He could have kept it to himself and you'd have been none the wiser. He told you because he wanted a reaction, wanted to set your mind racing, wanted you to remember the times you had with him. Don't let him do this to you, you're worth so much more than that.

I feel I might be sounding a little hard on him, but my sister was under the spell of a guy like this for a long, long time and he caused her years of pain, just by not allowing her to fully let go, by turning up when she least expected it, totally manipulating her, and I had to watch him do this to her. As far as I know he still shows up every now and then 'for old times sake'

Like I said, it is normal to feel a twinge or 'something' when faced with the news you were given, but his reasonings for sharing that with you can only be malicious or in some way to make you doubt your feelings for your fiancé, make you doubt yourself, your own feelings - something. He shouldn't have told you. Walk away, and enjoy your life with your new current man. Let the ex wallow in the memories of what he's lost

I wish you a happy engagement and a wonderful future with the good guy

AngelicVampires,

You had and have remaining powerful emotions of these two people. It is not surprising that your responses to him are extreme. Move your life on. Leave them behind. If you are like most, in time they will fade.

Thank you both. I ended the conversation with him by asking him to not contact me anymore. When he asked why I said "I am happier without you in my life." Hopefully that will be the end of it.

There's nothing wrong here that a proper application of high explosives won't fix.

(OK, if you *really* dont' get it: there was nothing serious about that statement).
