Dear Miss.Emily:

 Okay, so I know this is kinda messes up, but I broke up with my boyfriend almost a month ago, and he kept trying to get me back but I didn't want too. And now he has a girlfriend, and now I really want him back!  It kills me knowing he was wanting me back last week and, now, Bam, he's all over his new girlfriend! And It kinda sucks.

------------------------------Miss Emily's advice------------------------

Yeah, it sucks, and mainly because this kind of thing taps into our fragile egos. When you think about it, it's almost embarrassing! I mean, you didn't want him, but how dare he go on with his life, and with someone else. It's disgusting!  Now you feel rejection -- although, as you well know, it's completely irrational. You didn't mention your age, but this is pretty typical in the teen years. No, wait, I've known this to be a problem with some people, no matter what age. Hum. Some people never grow up. I think you need to zero in on all the reasons it didn't work out, and why he wasn't up to your standards. Unlikely that has changed. And be careful what you wish for. If he were to want a round 2, again, and you agreed, you could ditch the feelings of rejection, but end up replacing them with guilt.
