I never knew a platform like this existed, there have been times where I felt so isolated, and broken contmeplating and reflecting on every action. I broke no contact after 2 weeks. I'm starting again and trying to stay strong. I was broken up with on Oct 1st we were together for a yr and 2 months. he never gave me a definitive reason for the break up, and assured me I had done nothing wrong, he said we were too different. he tried to remain friends with me after the break up. But 2 weeks later I find out he has moved on and is in a relationship with his coworker who tried to make a move on him during our relationship. which at the time he had shut down, and reassured me she was just a friend. he text me the other night to enjoy a concert, and started a light hearted conversation. From then I spiralled and wanted to seek answers, understans his actions hence for breaking no contact. I am genuinely so confused by his behaviour.

when he texted you, do you think he was trying to be friendly… or was it more like he wanted to see if you’d still respond? sometimes their intentions are so blurry it makes it even harder to let go.
I think he was trying to be friendly, he doesn't seem to see an issue with being friends even though he's in a new relationship. he did the same when he was with me he stayed friends with his ex of 5 years. I didn't feel comfortable with it but he was transparent and didn't hide his interactions so It wasn't a deal breaker at the time. but his patterns make me think he likes to hold onto his exs, not sure how his new women would feel about him talking to us both.Friendship after a relationship is extremely painful, and a no go when in new relationships. I respect boundaries and my self.
my ex did almost the same said we were “too different,” then jumped into something new with the girl he swore was “just a friend.” it messed with my head so bad. i kept replaying everything, wondering what i missed. you’re not crazy for being confused. it’s that mix of betrayal unfinished answers that eats at you
This is really sad. Time heals trust me. It's really hard at first. I believe in you.
you deserve better!
He wants his cake and eat it too! by remaining friends he doesn't have to be accountable for ending the relationship! Stay strong day 1 again! you got this!
