Oh, Irony, my love, why do you mock me so?

It’s strange, but I don’t know whether this is genuine concern or just sour grapes. For those who know, I’m traumatised that my ex girlfriend has started dating one of the guys I hated most from my high school.

I hated her spending time with who I used to joke and call “Darling Daniel” or “Beloved Brownie” (don’t you just love it how this comes back and gets you in the end?). I hated it because he treated his last girlfriend like absolute scum. From what I saw he made her stop seeing her friends (the few she had to begin with) pushed her around, apparently as a joke, emotionally strangle her and treat her more like a possession than another human being.
There was also the fact that Darling Daniel was head over heals in love with Cassie, which Cass was completely oblivious to (maybe, I’m starting to doubt it now). He was always looking for excuses to assist our relationship breakdown by telling her “you should break up with him for your own good”.
So, I didn’t like her hanging out with him, although I never stopped her seeing him, because that would have made me as bad as him.

But, strangely enough, he’s now the boyfriend who hates me and doesn’t like Cass seeing me. I’m the one who’s probably still concerned about her for the wrong reasons.
I’m now the one who wants to be overly protective and tell her to break up with Beloved Brownie for her own good. This scares me. A lot.

I used to think she had opened her eyes to nasty people like Darling Daniel like I had, but maybe I was just looking in a mirror. Oh, Irony, my love, why do you mock me so?
