Am I being unreasonably selfish here or is something else at work?

A male age , anonymous writes:

I am strangely and suddenly conflicted. I broke up with my ex-wife a few years ago, we still have a couple of minor children and get along great as friends. We were together for many years. On some level, we still love each other though her feelings may be deeper than she lets on. However, I have since become engaged to a truly wonderful and beautiful woman whom I love deeply. What's more, I have always told my ex that I want her to look after her own happiness as I was the one who wanted the divorce. Well, she's finally seeing a guy, though nothing serious. Guess what... I'm suddenly jealous when there is no reason for me to be so. Am I being unreasonably selfish here or is something else at work? Help.
