Why do I feel a twinge of jealously? kitkat: So there was this guy I was getting to know during my separation. We met and didn't click in that way. We've stayed friends but haven't spoken much (you know life). So anyway, today I found out he has a gf. I got a sick feeling in my stomach. WHY? I don't understand. I didn't/don't want him. He doesn't (nor do I want him to) want me. I'm confused about this....
Re: Why do I feel a twinge of jealously? alonewith2: I know that exact feeling! There was a guy who expressed his interest in me right after my stbx and I separated the first time. He would even show up to my workplace every morning with breakfast for me. But I just wasn't interested in him that way. We stayed friends, but then lost contact for a little bit during the reconcilliation attempt with the stbx.
Then I saw him about 6 months after the second separation with my stbx... He was outside the video store enjoying an ice cream cone with his finacee. Then they got onto their matching motorcycles and drove off together. I felt that jealousy at that moment. Then questioned my reasons for a few weeks afterward.
I saw him recently. He's now divorced from this same woman (she ran off with some guy she met on the internet). He expressed an interest again, but I politely declined.
I think it was wanting what they had even though I didn't really want him. You know?
Re: Why do I feel a twinge of jealously? kitkat: That must be it. I was more surprised by my physical reaction then actually finding out about his gf!
I really am happy for him. I hope he found someone who can put up with him. I know I never could've. :D
