Boyfriend dated ex for 7 years
I really love my current boyfriend and I'm sure he feels the same but the fact that he dated his ex/first gf for 7 years has always bothered me. I'm not jealous of her or anything, Im just constantly questioning whether he will ever truly forget her, whether our relationship will ever compare to theirs. Hes always saying that our relationship is simply different from theirs, not better or worse...
I know I should just get over this; he's with me now. But I constantly feel like it's slightly unfair that he's my first love, first everything and quite possibly, my last. He promises that I'll be his last too, but he can never give me his first everything. And I just know that he's already given part of his heart away to his first gf. This feeling is really affecting the way I act in the relationship; I constantly raise the topic of his ex, and Im always trying to make him jealous... Ugh I know it's wrong but I really can't help it
Just looking for some general words of advice..
