Am i just an option? the pain of finding out my ex slept with someone else

Author

i just found out my ex slept with someone else only a few days after we were together and i honestly feel numb. she used to tell me she loved me talked about having a future and even kids with me and then so quickly she moved on with someone her friend introduced her to.
i know i wasn’t perfect in the relationship but this still hurts in a way i can’t explain. what makes it worse is that we were still being intimate after the breakup and i really believed there was still love there and that we’d fix things. meanwhile she was seeing someone else and later moved on again into another relationship.
right now i just feel empty like none of it meant anything to her. i keep questioning everything even what intimacy is supposed to mean because it clearly didn’t mean the same thing to her as it did to me.

she will come back cause her friends introduced this new guy and she would think she never approached and blame her friends but that's the moment you stay strong and completely dismiss her ik it's extremely hurtful to hurt your girl but what she did is beyond hurtfulness

That was the plan. Your ex wanted to be with other people. I have found words are just words. Actions are the true reality. They can tell you all day about how much they love you. Trust your gut.

After a breakup, people seek validation due to the loss of validation thru the relationship. When they suddenly sleep with someone else, they aren't thinking of you at all-- only of themselves. They're filling a void. I'm sorry you're hurting. Heartbreak is not easy and having heard your ex sleeping with someone else so quickly must be very painful. Much luck to you!

Same. My soul has left me also. Bludgeoning feeling, isnt it, knowing the one you love is having sex with someone else. It seems to be the way it is.. the one ya love , loves someone else. Wave if you see me. Ill be the one with the empty shell dragging my feet around.
