Many different emotions result from a breakup. When you find yourself being jealous after the breakup, whether it is because your ex-boyfriend has started dating someone new or for another reason, it is important that you deal with it. If your leftover feelings are making it difficult to continue a friendship or even a cordial relationship with your former boyfriend, take action to make the situation better. This will allow you to move on with your life.
Instructions
1. Accept the fact that you are having jealous feelings in association with your ex-boyfriend. Try to figure out where your feelings are coming from. Be honest with yourself and accept that the jealousy is coming from you and is not something that is the fault of your ex.
2. Stop comparing yourself to your ex-boyfriend's new girlfriend or the things that he now has in his life. Do not attempt to find out more about what he is doing and who he is dating.
3. Stop communicating with your ex-boyfriend. If you work with him or go to school with him, have as limited communication with him as possible. Keep the communication professional and do not discuss his personal life or yours.
4. Express any feelings of jealousy that remain on paper. This helps you to get the feelings out and to guard yourself against lashing out to him and saying things to other people that you might later regret.
5. Think about a positive aspect of your life every time a jealous thought crosses your mind.
