i want my ex to be happy. my ex wants to be my bestfriend still which i think is great because most guys will just cut you out of their lives when they dump you. i'm still in love with him though and i know eventually he'll date a girl.when he dates a girl how do i not get jealous and not want to kill her. i don't want him out of my life just because of my petty emotions.

Being best friends after a relationship is tough when you still have feelings for the other person. I would recommend taking a little time and distance to let you get over him. Otherwise you could get caught up maintaining hope and love for your ex and be unable to move on. You can still talk to and see him, just don't end up not going out there and spending time getting to know new people in order to talk to him or spend time with him.

As for not being able to handle any new girlfriends of his, that just takes time. It may sound petty, but you'll be able to handle it better if you are out there dating yourself. You need to move on enough yourself to be able to handle his moving on.

Ok my advise is i understand that u have feeling for this person is a good thing yall are going to stay friends but keep it a minimum especialy if u are traying to move on dont hang out as much as use to with him even if yall are friends that is juts going to make it harder on yall or just u try to go out with your friend s or do activities that takes your mind away talk to friend try to espend less time with him on the phone or hanging out so when the time come that he does get a new girlfriend u should be able to deal with it just fine and it wont be as hurt full try not to spend alot of time on phone or hanging out this is very in portant if your not planing on being together again becouse this is going to make u more emotional and is going to more stress full for u i hope i have help answer your question in time things will get better just looook back at your past relationship and seee were u are know and how u got over it and how u acted and it should help out.

Oceano agony auntYou need to let go of those intimate feelings you have for him. He isn't going to stay single for the rest of his life.. You should be happy for him when he finds a girl that makes him happy. You can remain friends, but you need to move on. If you have to, avoid the girlfriend so you don't let your emotions get the best of you.
