    I am in a relationship with an amazing guy named Robert. Before Robert and I got together, he was with his ex Samantha. They were together at least 15 months but he dumped her when she cheated on him. They were the type of couple that spent every breathing moment with eachother and everytime you saw one, you'd see the other right beside him/her. Supposedly they faught all the time but I don't know that for a fact because Robert and I met not too long after they broke up. He's told me that he was in love with Samantha but he couldn't have been in love with her then AND be in love with me now. Can he? I don't know if I should be jelous of him ex or not. Everyone still pictures the two of them together but I guess it's because they were together for so long. Any thoughts or advice?

    Yes someone who writes without slang or caps!

    Maybe it's just because they were together for so long as you said. Even if he did love her at the time, it could take a while for him to fully get over her maybe, especially with her hurting him. Jealousy is natural as long as you don't go overboard with it.

    That's true. But is it natural to be afriad I'll never be as good as her? Or that I'll never be able to replace the parts of his heart that bare her name? Because I feel like that sometimes too.

    It's natural. I feel the same thing when it comes to a friend of mine I like and who likes me back. I always think or feel I'll never be right for him or I might never be as perfect for him as his past girlfriends. But you just need to think about why he's with you now instead of what might be.

    ROFL...its his ex now need to worry but if you feel little bit uncertain ask him to tell you what went wrong in there relationship and try not to do that. Jelousy is one of the biggest issues why guys break up with girls so my advise would be. Be jelouse nothing wrong with that but keep it to yourself and dont tell him. I have te same problem and it almost break it apart
