Dear Brotha,
I have been talking to this awesome guy for a year. He is everything I could ever want in a man and no matter what happens we always find our way back to each other. But we recently decided to call everything quits. We are still friends but not very good ones. I still have very strong feelings for him. I even catch myself getting jealous when he's talking to other females in my presence. I guess you can say that I am somewhat territorial of this guy. When I see him it's like the first time we actually talked all over again. Is it wrong for me to feel this way? What should I do?

Dear Stuck Like Glue,
It is ok that you have these strong feelings for this guy, but sometimes you have to let things be. Not everything is meant to be and you two have accepted this. Being friends with the guy is ok, but once you start allowing your feelings to come back you start setting yourself up to get hurt. Getting jealous isn't necessary because you two chose to end the relationship and ONLY be friends. It's a natural emotion to not want to see your ex with another female, but now that it's over accept it for what it is. Having emotions for him is not wrong; it's how you express the emotions that can break the friendship. Stay cool and keep it level headed. If there is one thing I know, it's that if you begin to act possessive, act out or show your jealousy, it will only push him away and he will not want anything to do with you.
