Feeling like a joke...

[BrighterFuture]

Having a bad day....even though this is so juvenile word got back to me that me ex's new profile picture is of him and his new gf who he left me (about 1 month ago) to be with. She is actually the girl he dated before me, but he neglected to tell me that even though they were close friends throughout our relationship (I have a post on all of that). I have him blocked on fb so I haven't seen it and I have no intention of seeking it out. However, the news affected me more than I thought it would.

 

During the time we were together he never once used a picture of us as his profile, nor did he "like" one picture that we were ever in together. I never really thought about these details before until hearing about his new profile pic (the only other profile pic he has of him with a girl is his prom picture, so him changing it to him and the new girl definitely says something). It makes me realize that much more that I, unknowingly, was just a rebound to him. I now feel like our relationship was a joke that he and all his close friends were in on except me... The picture was just an extra slap in the face. My friends keep telling me that their the ones that look like asses, but it doesn't really help how I'm feeling right now.

 

Maybe I was just naive because this was my first serious relationship, but I truly never expected someone who I treated so well to treat me so poorly. I guess because I served my purpose of making his ex jealous and getting her back that he no longer owes me kindness now that he is done with me. I know it happens often, and not one bone in my body wants him back, but I don't understand how someone can use another person like that...

People use other people much more often than you think. Sometimes it's directed by emotional and sub-conscious motivations, but it, sadly happens a lot.

 

Sorry to hear that. Move on and perhaps do a better job of vetting your next prospect. Tough, it's all tough.
