So I’m having this problem with my girlfriend. She is very jealous of my ex and this is making our relationship a nightmare.
My ex is currently going to Harvard, she was top of her class in high school when we dated. I have only seen her once since we stopped dating back on 2009 and they don’t know each other. My ex and I did have sex one time, it was the first time for both of us.
A little background on my girlfriend, which she says it’s important. My girlfriend is of Asian descent and she says that all her life she has been told to be better. We have been dating for a year now and this problem has been making us argue for the past 6 months. My girlfriend knows that I don’t love my ex anymore.
My girlfriend is jealous of my ex to the point of hating her and wishing her the worst pain possible, “A slow and painful death” she has said. She wants to be better than her in every way possible but the intellectual part is what really makes her explode. She cries constantly and I’m always trying to be there to tell her how special she is to me. How she is better than my ex. She feels like a failure and being better than my ex is then most important thing in her life. One time she asked me for my ex’s Facebook profile so she could see all her achievements. (in not friends with my ex) Knowing fully well that she is harming herself by being this way I gave her a choice, my ex’s name or me. She chose my ex. I broke up with her but we got back together a few hours later, she told me she was sorry and that she would try to change.
