Why Is My Girlfriend Jealous of My Ex

Writer Andrew Davis

Moving on from your past relationship can be difficult especially when your girlfriend is jealous of your ex. This can be troublesome for you because it’s a constant reminder of the past. Your girlfriend probably thinks that your ex is more attractive than she is or that you might like your ex more than you like her. Sometimes females will think this if you keep mentioning your ex or bringing up things that she used to do. So, if you’ve been doing this, then it’s possible that it has led to your girlfriend being jealous of your ex.

The thing to wonder about is how your girlfriend is able to see your ex or know things about her. If you are friends with your ex on social media, then that is most likely how your girlfriend is able to know or see things about your ex. If this is the case, then she’s only going to compare herself to your ex, which is not what you want to happen.

What you can do is to completely cut your ex off in every way shape or form. You shouldn’t be texting or calling your ex. The relationship is not over so there’s no reason for you to be in contact with her. This is even more true when you know that your ex girlfriend is attractive and you might still have feelings for her.

I’m sure that your current girlfriend might be aware of these things which is why she’s jealous of your ex. So, even though your girlfriend shouldn’t be jealous, you still have to do what you can to make things better for her and for yourself as well. You have to do what you can to make the relationship work. If not, it’s only going to go downhill from there.
