It's completely natural to make comparisons and to be curious about your ex's new girl friend. Especially when, as far as you know, both of you both haven't dated anyone since each other (aside from my one month fiasco of a thing) and most especially when your relationship was one of those classic first love, thought you were going to marry, long distance, head over heels, year and half long, tumultuous relationships.
It's been two years since we broke up, and I'm now past 20 and he's a few days shy of 22. I had no idea what I'd be comparing myself to when I clicked on her Facebook profile. I suppose I was expecting some college friend he was close to. I never, ever, thought it'd be a little pretty blond chick who is a 17 year old high school senior! Now, my parents are several years apart, but um, dating a high school student when you're a fourth year in college is definitely a low of lows. Funny little tidbit though is that she's exactly the same age I was when I started dating him. I sense a theme maybe? She's also from back home, which means it's a long distance thing. Sounding slightly more familiar now? Obviously this whole thing leaves me both horrified that I ever dated him, and happy that I'm far better off now. Ew and double ew.
