Ex is engaged - heart sinks

[Poppyolive]

I heard today, he got engaged over Christmas. Ive been 100% no contact. I don't him back. I'm just here to vent, because for whatever reasons, it is hurting my heart right now.

 

I guess its sadness and full loss to what we once shared.

Anger and how many years wasted, him wanting me to wait for him.

Promises, plans, a lot of lies.

 

Recap* Lived togther 5 years. Fall outs over his drinking and being on the same page.

 

I know I know, I am.much better off. It just hurts today. I'm going have me some carrot cake and an early night.

 

Any advice fellow love shakers, be gentle on this soul.

This development should work as a help to leave the relationship behind you. It's a bitter-tasting medicine.

 

Feel the feelings.

 

Be with yourself feeling the feelings.

 

Love yourself for being with yourself.

 

Love yourself for being.

After 5 years together you probably had expectations that you would marry. the fact that he's marrying somebody else & you haven't found anybody that special yet hurts. It's a little bit of jealousy. It's a little bit of why couldn't he find that with you. As long as you don't dwell too much & you keep moving forward in your life this one blip is just that, a minor setback.

Yes, you are right. I know, this too will pass and I'll be OK. Thanks friends!

Finding out that my ex is dating someone new would kill me. Finding out that my ex was engaged to someone? I'm really sorry..

 

It's okay to be upset over this. It's okay to be sad over this. You seem to be on the track to moving on. Think of this as a minor setback. You didn't go looking to find this out, it just happened. It was out of your control. Enjoy your carrot cake! You deserve to be happy too!
