Dealing with it when you can't get away from it
Okay...so I know the title is a little ambigous. So a couple months back I started dating this girl. I liked her a lot , we got on amazingly and had plans for months. I honestly thought it would last this time. A week or so before we broke up I took her to meet a good friend of mine I hadn't seen in a while. It was a bit odd , the next day she wanted to hang out with him , without inviting me and got snappy at me when I questioned it...understandably I thought. Anyway ...about overnight she changed. Didn't want to kiss ,have sex or be in any way intimate. She would'nt even hold hands. It was a bit strange...Anyway we argued over it , broke up. She starts hanging out with my friend over the next couple of days , and he tells me he likes her...so I made him promise not to date her. Selfish I know , but I still liked her so bad and had some naieve hope of getting her back , or that it must have just been a bad week. Another couple of days they start dating. She talks to me , crying over the idea we cant "be friends". I flipped out a bit...I punched the guy , he apologised and we're good. And I still talk to her...even if its painful. So the drama's done and dusted , the advice Im after is how the hell to deal with it now? I have to see them both all the time...and when I see them together , or one of them mentions the other , or a picture comes up on facebook it hurts. like.. how come she can put in the effort for him...what makes him better than me. how come he gets to hold her..and I don't. Jealousy and anger are kind of eating me up , and it's not something i can stay away from easily. So yeah....how to just...Idk. Get it out my damned head. I can't even get to sleep without thinking about it.
Thanks
