Ask QC: How Can I Move On?

Dear Ask QC,

So I met this wonderful, beautiful guy who I instantly fell head over heels for. He’s 21, I’m 24. He and I dated for almost a year but sadly broke up, thanks to his infidelity and our growing fights. We decided to break up but remain friends and to this day he is the ONLY person who I trust fully, since I have major trust issues. Anyway he is the best best friend anyone could have but I get so depressed when he goes on dates with other guys, knowing I still have very strong feelings for him. On one hand, I’m happy he’s moving on but on the other hand I get so depressed it’s almost scary. Any helpful tips on finally moving on and enjoying our friendship to the maximum?

Thanks,

Aaron

Hi Aaron. Thank you so much for your question and concerns. Becoming friends with a former boyfriend is tricky territory, especially when you have residual feelings for him. Plus, we can all admit that feeling jealous really sucks! What advice do you have for Aaron, readers? What’s the best way to get over jealousy when you see an ex go out with someone new?
