<human>: I met the perfect girl and everything about her is everything I ever wanted in a girl and way more. You know how you have to make compromises and trade-offs in person? There wasn't anything that bothered me about her...except her ex. I had many relationships in the past but I never felt so captivated by a person. We have been together for a year and a half. We always have fun no matter what we're doing and both focused on our careers. 

Here is the problem. Before dating me, she was in a serious relationship that lasted 7 years. There are times that she mentioned him and I feel like I'm being compared to. She talks about him and I try not to let it bother me. She told me she doesn't want to be with him and that it was a rough break up. I don't think she loves me as much as she loved him. She got stressed out once because she found out her was dating someone else. They have been apart for almost 2 years now.
I love her more than I ever loved anyone. I never even felt this way with an ex of who I had my longest relationship with, which lasted 3 years.

I know 7 years is a long time, and yes I knew what I was getting myself into since the beginning. Do you think she will ever completely get over her ex? 
I couldn't take it anymore so I brought it up to her and told her I feel like I'm coming in second. She didn't really say much about it and just try to brush it off. I did break up with her because I don't want to feel second on her list. She told me that she agrees with the breakup and needs her space before dating again and she was aware that she hadn't let go of her ex yet and needs to focus on herself. 

I don't want anyone but her. I'm hopeful that we can still be together one day. What would you do in my shoes?

Can you condense the text into a few key points?
<bot>: Dated this perfect girl for 1.5 years, but she isn't over her ex. I don't want anyone but her.
