I also agree with Plan9, which is a rarity on relationship shit. If this new girl is better... Throw away the history.
I have an ex that I still have to scrape all my willpower to drive out of my head on a daily basis. That means never checking his Facebook. Every time I do, I have fucking dreams about him. I can't move on when this douchebag and his HILARIOUS CATCHPHRASES are still floating around in my head. Hell, I shouldn't even be typing this right now because it's only reminding me of him. Fuck that.
Thing is, if you left your ex, it just means that there was a time when you truly believed she wasn't right for you. If you have to think about her, think about those things--what she did that made you think this other girl was a better match. Chances are, those negative qualities outweighed the positives. Just block out the positives right now. It sounds unhealthy, but there will be a time when you can look back fondly on your history without it affecting your current relationship. Now is not that time.
Also: Never go back. On the rare occasions I've allowed someone's bad advice to push me back into a relationship I've given up on, it's done nothing but cause harm to all parties involved. It sucks and it's stupid. Live with your regrets, but for the love of God, don't RElive them.
THAT'S ALL.
