I broke up with my girlfriend about a month ago now and I feel I’m still going through the bad post-breakup period. The problem is that about a week after our break up her mom died.

We are still friends more or less and I’m trying very hard to not get emotionally involved when I support her and give her affection but sometimes I feel I could explode. She’s starting to hang out with her friends but in particular with this one guy (he lost his father years ago). I don’t really like this guy since I know the type of guy he is. I saw they are getting really close and honestly I feel replaced and I know there’s also some jealousy playing on my side.

So it happened that sometimes I talked about it with her and she told me I don’t need to worry since he’s just a friend…
Ok now the problem is that she told me many things when we broke up (I’m very special and she couldn’t find a better one, That guy is just a friend, She appreciate my help even though she doesn’t show it as much as she does with that guy, etc…) if something happens with this guy (I know I’m projecting something that still doesn’t exist) i feel obliged to cut definitely our relationship since I would feel disrespected and that all the things she said were lies.

I know this story could sound selfish but please bear in mind that I’m still going through the post break up period and I know myself I don’t have a clear mind. Anything will be highly appreciated and thanks in advance for the time you took to read the story.
