I'm ashamed of my childish jealousy!

I'm a divorced mum of two DSs and very happy to be out of my miserable marriage. Kids are great, I have a lovely family, lovely friends, etc. So why do I feel so stupidly jealous of someone at work???

Just before Xmas this girl form work got together with a guy (also at work) I have serious crush on. He was already with someone but unhappy and finished it to be with this other one. He's the nicest guy - not gorgeous but kind, funny, sweet-natured - basically everything I would want.

I won't be cruel about her but I just feel so jealous. Seeing them arrive together at work, being happy just serves to make my singleless feel like loneliness. I'm also worried that they know I used to like him - have a feeling someone may have said something. This just makes me feel humiliated although I know I'm getting it out of proportion. I'm a grown woman feeling like a teenager.

I just attract all the wrong sorts - the flash-Harrys (or should that be Harries?) and never the nice ones. I'm a nice person - when and how will I ever meet my Mr Right?

I have had similar feelings happy to be divorced after a miserable marriage!! you say you have a lovelly family friends I think you should see them as much as poss sometimes its too easy to cut yourself off as a single parent and you need contact with other adults.I have had some ridiculous crushes and cryed loads when i discovered one was married.My advice is relax lots of people get crushes if he knows you like him and you really did if he wants to get to know you he will but he seems to move in and out of relationships quite easily is that what you really wantI think im nice really!! but ive made some daft choices amongst the most silly years avoiding relationships because i had some daft crush
Hope you get out with some friends soon and remind yourself how many other men there are in the world at the moment he is taken

Thanks for your message, Marney - I appreciate it. Your advice is spot on too. I know I shouldn't fester about it. He did virtually move out of girl 1's house and straight in with the other, so maybe he's not so perfect after all?

Just feeling lonely tonight.
