How to cope when your ex starts dating someone new

i couldn't prepare for every future moment, i could only keep building a life that wasn't centered around what my ex might be doing. it wasn't quick, but it made those thoughts lose their grip.

do you think you're more afraid of actually seeing them with someone new, or of what you'd tell yourself it means about you?

probably what it means about me. even though i treated him with so much honesty and kindness and i know that he took my love for granted, i just couldn’t bear seeing him with another person. makes me feel like i wasn’t enough and i did something wrong, but i didn’t

By not caring, anyways he isn't worth dating anyone! I would feel sorry for the girl, if I were you!

I experienced broke up with someone and a month later he dated someone else. It’s painful in the beginning, but by the time it was okay. you will be fine ^^

yeah, seeing someone you shared your most vulnerable moments being with someone else is a different kind of pain.
