Ex-Girlfriends

Does anyone get sad about their SO's previous relationships? The other day his friend was talking about her, nothing that slighted me, just that she wasn't considerate and too loud in the morning (slamming things, going in and out of the garage). It just made me remember that she spent the night too, possibly lived there (I haven't asked because I don't want to know yet). She slept in the same sheets I did, probably slept the way I do. She put up these weird hearts taped to the ceiling for Valentine's Day 2016 and some are still there. It just frustrates me because she was so comfortable there just like I am.

I have stupid thoughts like "was she prettier than me, was she thinner than me, were her boobs bigger, was she funnier" just stupid things like that. I know it's petty.

I try to remember that if things don't work out, there is always someone else out there. (Not bragging but I did have more than a few options). I also try to remember that she isn't there for a reason and I'm here now. The past shouldn't matter but it bothers me and makes me sad.

He said they broke up because they didn't get along. They were together two years. We will have been dating for 6 months in August.

Does anyone else get sad/bothered by this? I really care about him it just upsets me that he had loved someone else (I know that's silly). How do I work on this?
