ORIGINAL: Aquanerd1983 So leave him to save myself? Hurt him before he hurts me? I don't understand. My willingness to battle my jealousy and not just give up and run away is a negative? No, not exactly. While you are in your current state with a frothing green-eyed beast roaming around in your head, you will kill this relationship. Bow out gracefully (maybe just temporarily), and explain why. Leave on friendly terms and sort out your problem. If he is any sort of decent person, he'll understand the predicament and give you space. Willingness to battle and being an abject bratty monster are quite different. At the moment, you are the latter. You leave him to sort yourself out - that is your primary concern right now. You can't battle your jealousy while you are embroiled in the dynamic - you need to step away and deal with it before you sour the relationship permanently. And yes, it may well be to put him on hold before he hurts you - which you've already said it would. You never know, it may be just the trigger he needs to realize that you are better than the new one and he'll wait for you without her. And the reason you don't understand is because you are still stuck in sub frenzy and not able to think properly with a clear and sensible head. This is why you need to step out to deal with it because you can't in your current state of mind.
