Am I over-thinking things?

A male United Kingdom age 36-40, anonymous writes:

Hello. This isn't much of a big problem, but I wondered if you could tell me what you think.

I haven't spoken to my ex-girlfriend for about a month now, after she split up with me this summer. Tonight I went on Myspace and posted a bulletin talking about life over the past couple of months or so, and I'm just a little worried that I maybe reffered to the break-up too often.

In the bulletin I said about how I am "Starting to feel a little better, and less emotional after struggling for the past few months". I later mentioned that if things continue to go well from now on, and into the new year I'll be "ready to wave goodbye to a crap 2nd half of 2007".

I'm sure it doesn't really matter what anybody thinks of what I said, but I often worry what other people do think about things that I say, particuarly if one person is my ex. I don't want her or anyone to think "Oh my god, here he goes again" or anything like that when they're reading.

Lastly, in the post I spoke about going out for nights out with my friends at college, and how we were going to different pubs and talking to different women. On reflection, I don't know why I said that. I mean, the intention of the bulletin was to tell people what I've been doing lately, and I just worry that it will sound like I'm trying to make my ex jealous.

Am I just over-thinking things? Because I know that this really isn't that important. Is there a reason why I may be over-thinking this?

TomWilkinson agony auntThere's nothing wrong with talking about things you have done, but somethings should only be shared with some people, ie, about the talking to girls, maybe keep this conversation between "the lads", but by all means mention that you're going out and moving on from a bad patch. By the simple fact that you two are talking again, this suggests that you both know where you stand, and nobody has a right to judge, perhaps a little more tact would be useful though, just incase something is misinterpreted.
