Moving on after being used
I realized that I was being used for emotional support by my ex. She has now returned with her ex before me. I am angry and devastated because she seems so happy with him. She would vent to me about him before they broke up. I don’t understand how she would go back to him after all the trauma that he put her through. She was also the one who decided to break up with me but then later along the line wanted to be friends, but then get back together but ghost me the day after. I don’t know how to feel or how to move on. I’ve already blocked her and cut her out of my life.
@patientTurtle3645 hey there. i'm really sorry to hear about this, my ex used me for emotional support as well and i understand how damaging and draining it can be. you didn't deserve that treatment at all. it's hard to not know the answers to things after you've removed them from your life, how and why things happened. but after being away and having cut off my ex for over half a year now, i've learned a lot of things. you're allowed to be angry and devastated about your mistreatment, you're allowed to be sad and upset and tired. it's important that you let yourself feel these emotions and not push them away. i've found that spending time with my friends more and with people who love me instead of isolation have been of great help to my healing process and moving on. don't rush yourself into dating again if you're not ready. feel out your emotions, talk about them to people you trust, write them out, vent them in a healthy way. look after yourself and treat yourself with kindness. remind yourself that you didn't deserve that, it's not your fault that happened to you, and you're going to be okay. take your time and be patient in yourself. we believe in you ❤️
