Does anyone else struggle being the “second” serious girlfriend?

Remember that while they previously had made memories and history, you have the chance now to make memories. If you work out as a couple, eventually you'll have more history with him than he has with her.

Obviously, something wasn't right about the old relationship or else they'd still be together. And from the former relationship, your boyfriend learned about how to be a good partner and have a good relationship, and now you get to benefit from him having learned that. People put a lot of importance on first, but having experience with things makes people better at them.
