Does it really get better after a breakup?

i just saw a friend of my ex's post that he and his friends (who were my friends, i cut contact) went to scotland together when my ex and i were planning that same trip weeks before our breakup. we talked for months about going to scotland, mostly me because i really wanted to visit that. seeing him going on that trip with his friends just hurt me idk. idk why, but i felt betrayed almost? i dont want to keep living like this. constantly missing and thinking about what once was and what should be :(

i started getting better when i stopped checking anything connected to my ex, even through mutual friends. it sucked at first, but every little update was another wound i was choosing to reopen.

do you think the Scotland trip itself hurts most, or seeing him and those friends living out something you pictured with him?

i think the last one hurts the most. i feel like he must have thought about me while planning and being on that trip right?

seeing people take a trip you planned with your ex can make the breakup feel fresh all over again, like they carried on with a life you were supposed to have

I think you should plan a girls trip to Scotland and meet new people. do whatever you want to do there just have fun with your friends and family đź’•

Are you still able to do that trip with some of your other friends or family and enjoy it!? I know it can be hard to remove the feeling of doing it with that person. But it’s something you wanted to do and really wanted to visit
