Only been out with him a couple of times (I've just come out of a 5 year relationship) but I really, really like him.
The first time we went out he mentioned that he was desperate to go away on holiday but had nobody to go with. I felt as if he was almost hinting for me to go with him! Then a week later he text me and said he wasn't sure if he had done the right thing but he had arranged to go away for 10 days with his ex. I made mention of that being rather 'cosy' and he said he would have asked me but seeming as though I barely know him I might have found him odd if he had.
I've seen him once since but I don't really know the ins and outs of his and the exs relationship. I'm trying to play it cool and didn't want to come over all jealous. He's now gone away but before he left he text saying he was looking forward to seeing me when he gets back, that he really does want to see me etc.
I know I barely know him and it's nothing to do with me what he gets up to really but I'm now stressing that him and his ex are going to rekindle their romance and end up getting back together. I'm totally resigned to the fact they will probably have a holiday shag or two but I really don't want them to get back together. I want him basically!
He posted some pics of them on FB and she really looks like an older version of me (same hair/skin type, way of doing her make up). I know I need to calm down and stop stressing but argh, it's a nightmare! I am so so jealous!
AIBU?
To feel ill that the man I like has gone on holiday with his ex?

Leave it , walk away before you do really get hurt .
He wants best fo both worlds - does his ex know about you / probably not .
You could always post on FB =- 'Great photos - really looking forward to seeing you when you get back ' then see what he does . 
AvantiaI have no idea if she knows tbh. You are probably right, running a mile is most likely the best option. I don't think my heart has space for any more pain at the minute.
Trouble is I'm no better. I was planning on going away with my ex as well until I realised I couldn't afford it. Not because I want to get back with him but because I genuinely have no one else to go away with (distant violin strings) 
Maybe I should just steal myself for the next set of photos were they get married barefoot on the beach?. It will be just my luck (sighs)
Do they have dc together?
About 2 weeks before me and my now dh got together, my ex and I booked to take our dc to Disney world in Florida together. We had been going abroad with eachother for holidays with the dc every year since we had split, so I think we had done it 3 or 4 times already.
I had been with then dp for almost a year by the time the trip came around, and it was awful leaving him to go away with my ex, but we had paid thousands and neither of us wanted to let the children down, they had been really looking forward to it.
Anyway, we did the holiday, came back, ex and I will always be ex and I, and if anything, holidays remind me why he's my ex! DH and I are now happily married, and the upset of us being apart while one of us was with an ex is now a distant memory. 
I had a lover who wanted me to go on holiday with him but I couldn't take leave for the time he could get away. Unknown to me, cue his ex stepping into the breach.
He left his car with me (in inner London it's not a good idea to leave a desirable vehicle on the street unattended for days) and set off to Heathrow. While he was away, I discovered his duplicity.
On the day of his return I parked his car a few roads away and, when he came to collect it, I graciously accepted the gifts he'd bought me and told him he could pick his car up from Heathrow's short term car park where I'd driven it the day he left for his hols.
His tan was immediately erased at the thought of having to pay multiple £s per hour for 2 weeks' extortionate airport parking
