She Can’t Stop Obsessing Over Her Boyfriend’s Ex And Wishing That She Looked Like Her
A 19-year-old girl has a boyfriend who is also 19, and they have been together for 1 year and 4 months now.
She first met her boyfriend when he had just gotten out of a relationship. He had been broken up with his ex for only a week or two before she began dating him.
At that time, her boyfriend still had his ex saved on his Snapchat with an adorable nickname, and she witnessed a few more things of that nature that just made her uncomfortable.
A week after she started seeing him, he abruptly ended things. A month after he broke up with her, he was back and wanted to start dating again, which she said yes to.
She later learned that during the time they had been broken up, her boyfriend started seeing his ex.
Getting back together was hardly easy for her, as she developed something of an obsession with her boyfriend’s ex while they were split up.
She spent a lot of time looking her boyfriend’s ex up on social media and “comparing” herself to his ex.
As their relationship progressed, she also found out that her boyfriend’s ex was in his group of friends, so he still hung out with her that way.
Her boyfriend was really hesitant to introduce her to his friends, and he actually kept her a secret for some time.

Her boyfriend claimed that his friends knew about her, but he took a bit to include her in their outings.
The very first time that she did get to go out with him and his friends, she was surprised to see her boyfriend’s ex there hanging out.
“I was blown away by how pretty she was and instantly felt awful about myself,” she explained. “My BF would also still message her and I would get incredibly upset about it.”
They attended a Halloween party that she ended up having a break down at over his ex, and he finally agreed to take his ex off of his Snapchat.
“She is literally so pretty,” she said. “She’s got everything I don’t have. I’m really slim and flat, I’ve got a bump on my nose and my teeth aren’t very straight.”
“She has the perfect tiny nose, the prettiest smile and her body is every man’s dream. She’s on the thicker side which makes me even more insecure because she has my ideal body.”
“Her personality also seems so fun and all of my BF’s friends think she’s hot (pretty much all of them have actually gotten with her and dated her for a short period).”
Although her boyfriend has since agreed to take his ex off one social media platform, he follows her on others.
She’s tried her best to move past being obsessed with her boyfriend’s ex and work on her own self-confidence, but that all came crashing down a couple of days ago when she decided to look up her boyfriend’s ex on social media.
She looked through her boyfriend’s ex’s photos and thought that she looked gorgeous and super attractive, which made her feel bad her boyfriend is still looking at these photos.
She wishes she did look like her boyfriend’s ex, and she can’t help but feel that her boyfriend is downgrading in life by dating her and not his ex.
How do you think she can stop being so hung up on her boyfriend’s ex and feel better about herself and her relationship?
