One day they’re on, the next they’re off, the next they’re on again. You never know what you’re going to get with hot pop couple Rihanna and Chris Brown, whose unpredictable relationship headlines the blogs about four times a week. As of now, no one really knows where the two troubled lovebirds stand, but last week, Brown stated in an interview, “that would be a little close for home” when asked how he’d feel if his ex-girlfriend Karrueche dated another artist. “At the end of the day, I think it should be a respect boundary,” he explained.

The fact that he of all people had the nerve to bring up respect when he played the heart strings of both Karrueche and Rihanna for the entire world to see was a bit humorous to me. But shortly after my little giggle and shaking of the head, his actual response hit me. Why was whoever Karrueche chose to date any of his concern considering the fact that he is, or at least was at the time, in a relationship with Rihanna?
Immediately I thought, “Rihanna should be mad because clearly Chris isn’t over ol’ girl if he’s still getting jealous about who she dates.” The more I thought about it, however, the more I recollected my own similar experiences where I had broken up and moved on, only to be stalking the ex’s Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and whatever else to stay in the loop of his current relationship status. Who was the new chick? Did I know her? Did she look better than me? And don’t act like you’ve never done it. I couldn’t really fault Chris because his reaction was pretty normal, though I don’t think voicing it was so wise.
It made me then ask myself, “Well, was I completely over so-and-so when we broke up?” If so, then why would I, like Brown, still be concerned with his happenings after the fact? I can’t speak for Breezy because his last two fiascoes seem way deeper than anything I’ve ever been involved in, but as for me I knew once reflecting on it all that it was just ego. Just because you still get a little envious when your ex has moved on and found a new boo, it doesn’t always mean that you’re still in love with or have feelings for that person. You could just have a big ego that’s threatened by the fact that you weren’t irreplaceable. My past relationships have never been that deep to the point where I had trouble coping and moving on from their halt. I actually moved on quite easily, as written before, and never had an issue until I saw that they were able to move on as easily as I was. I know it sounds a bit bitchy, but it’s the truth.
I do believe that there are many instances where a person simply isn’t over their ex, especially if they moved on as quickly as Chris and didn’t allow themselves much time to heal. But if you’ve moved on and you live your days without giving half a thought to your old flame, and then all of a sudden you feel some type of way when he or she moves on, that’s more than likely your own selfishness and conceit, not necessarily feelings of lingering love.
Can you really be completely satisfied with your current relationship if you’re still concerned about your ex’s dating life?
