I know an ex of mine who does it when she is in a relationship as to avoid the possibility of cheating. I could never bring myself to cut someone off but at the same time it's making my current girlfriend jealous that I'm talking to someone. I don't know what to do because I think it has to do with trying to fill the hole. I could see why her not being able to fill the hole could hurt, but I tell her that no matter who I'm with or what I do nothing fills the hole, that's the nature of it. I suspect this person I'm talking to is just another attempt to fill the void but having been on the other end of getting cut off I don't want to do this. I'm trying to get in to see a therapist to try to organize my thoughts but its slow going. Help.
