Missing my ex after 10 months and us both starting new relationships

June 7th, 2016

So last week I found out that my ex was in a new relationship and I'd seen that he's been doing things with his new girlfriend that I'd always wanted to do with him but he was never interested. This really kind of hurt me and made me angry and over the past week I haven't been able to stop thinking about him and how I just miss talking to him.

I don't miss being with him and I am really happy in my new relationship but I just miss that connection I had with him and feel like someone else is now getting what I wanted so much and it upsets me.

I feel so bad because I do truly love my new boyfriend and truly believe that he is my soul mate but I just can't shake this feeling right now.

Has anyone else went through this or have any advice?

Background on the relationship: we were together for just under 7 years and had a lot of problems, he had cheated, I had wanted something different, he never wanted to work on any of our problems and because of that alot of resentment built up

I guess I feel like I was never good enough for him to make those changes and do those things with me and I'm just confused and hurt by that because at the time I genuinely thought he was the one I'd marry and grow old with

I feel like what you are going through is a temporary shock of seeing him move on. Before you found out he was in a relationship, did you miss and want to talk to him? Do you think that maybe your feelings of wanting to see and talk to him again could be part of facing the reality of him moving on? I know how uncomfortable that can be when you loved someone for so long and then later on they move on. It's even alright to be a little sad about it, I mean at one point in your life he meant a great deal to you. However, you have an amazing life with your new boyfriend and lots to look forward to with him! It sounds like your ex wasn't very nice to you so it's better to move forward then to look back, right? smiley

I hope this helped a little, take care and good luck! heart

No I didn't miss him or want to talk to him before I found out about his new relationship.

I'll move past it but for now I am kind of frustrated more than sad now. I kind of feel like because he made me so unhappy in so many ways and didn't care that he doesn't deserve to be happy. I won't do anything to act on these feelings, that's not me, but it's bloody hard seeing him basically get away with all of the shit he put me through.

I'm trying to focus on moving forward especially since I am moving in with my new boyfriend in the next few weeks but it feels like he'll never disappear. I just want him to disappear.
