Why am i jealious bc a person i dont even like romantically is having sex? Like i should be happy for them, and i am, but why the fuck am i jealious? Theyre an ex btw... Shit's a bit complicated up in the old brain rn and im hoping for some wisdom from the Dark Lord, if you wouldnt mind.
This could be for multiple reasons.
This individual was once your companion. If this is the first person they have been with since the two of you have broken off your affair, you may now be feeling that the end of things is now "official" in a way it had not been before. She has moved on, entirely. Perhaps you even feel hurt, assuming it would take her longer to move on in such a manner.
If you do not feel ready for a new partner yet, and yet she already has one, you may feel that she not only has moved on faster than you, but perhaps she was never as invested in the relationship as much as you thought she was. This is a foolish notion - her behavior cannot accurately reflect how she processes her own emotions.
You may also be experience jealousy in the fact that she has moved on before you. You do not say if you have secured a new partner yet, but if she has done so first, you may be feeling as though you have lost some kind of competition.
You may also be worrying that she finds her new partner superior to you - an understandable concern on the surface however, you must realize the irony that lays here; you two did break up for a reason, and if you want her to be happy with this partner in the long term, you are going to have to hope that she finds this person superior to you in terms of compatibility.
Needless to say, you are experiencing a lot of emotions at current, both related to your broken affair, her path forward, and your own desires. It shall pass.
This is why I have opted out of that whole "feelings" thing entirely. Far less messy. My advice? Work on yourself. Practice dueling, or quidditch (or if you are a muggle, learn the art of the blade and football). Paint something. Create something. Create a horcrux. Set fire to all who stand in your path.
If, after all of this, you still desire a companion, well - find someone who looks at awe into the flames you have wrought.
Best of Luck,
-Lord Voldemort
