  • Thank you for commenting, greatly appreciated. You are right about how I shouldn’t have feelings of jealousy for Bob and Izzy because I am over Izzy. So, this might sound a little confusing but this is how my one of my friends explained things to me. We have feelings, and then we have attitudes. My feelings for Izzy are completely diminished. I feel no romantic attraction towards her. Every other guy she has tried building a relationship with after Bob, I never had an issue with. She would vent to me about these guys and I would actively listen and give her advice when needed. My attitude is jealousy, envy, etc. It is not as bad as it was 2 years ago, but there is still some attitude from that time period. That was still present when she approached me about possibly rebounding with Bob which is why I became more defensive and I wanted to protect myself so I wouldn’t hurt her or myself. I really hope that made sense and it doesn’t confuse you.




  • Hey there, thanks for replying to my post. I appreciate your reply, and I should also note that some of my friends, and even my sister, have collectively told me I should stop being friends with Izzy. They have read the text messages and they have deemed her as emotionally manipulative. I am not even that worried of losing Izzy, but I will miss spending time with her siblings. They were awesome to me and even threw me a birthday party. But, I guess it will be a new opportunity to find a new partner with a new family. It will also help that I won’t need to explain each time I go on a date that I am friends with my ex.
