killmenow Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 So I've been in a relatively happy relationship for the past four months, basically most of my freshmen year in college. We moved pretty fast for the beginning (dating 4 months, more/less living together for 3.5 months) but that never really seemed to be a problem. Things between us were fine until recently when she got into a fight with an ex of mine when they ran into each other at a party without me there. My current girlfriend basically just started screaming at her completely unprovoked. It was the first time the two had even met. And, ironically, this caused my ex and me to talk more frequently (from never to once a week or so). This ex was from high school but I tried to date her this year and she turned me down, which didn't shock me because when we broke up in the past she was hurt. Pretty much immediately after she rejected me I met and started dating my current girlfriend. The other day my ex told me she wanted to get together again. She's always been jealous when she's seen me with other girls since we broke up, so I'm worried that might be it. But I've also always regretted letting her go in the first place and have never really gotten her off my mind since. I'm hesitant to risk what I currently have because its a relatively happy relationship. It's been a couple day since my ex told me this and ever since I haven't been able to not think about it. Should I just ignore my urge to go back with my ex? In the back of my mind I'm worried that she just wants to prove that I still want her and nothing any more serious.
PelicanPete Posted April 20, 2011 Posted April 20, 2011 If you have any doubts i would advise you not to do it. You guys broke up for a reason after all, she also turned you down. If your ex were to take you back, it would probably follow along the lines of just wanting to mess with your current girlfriend as payback for her freaking out on her. Perhaps you should start identifying what is wrong in your current relationship, because you wouldn't be feeling this if everything was perfectly fine. Think about the reasons why you would rather want to be with your ex compared to your current girlfriend.
