HGD38 Posted October 7, 2015 Posted October 7, 2015 Before I start I should explain that I am well on the way to being over my ex, I no longer want to be with her and know I deserved better. But I'm just trying to get over this next hurdle! I just wanted to get your opinions on the following, and wondered if any of you had experienced the same thing. . . I was with my ex for 4 years and we were best friends as well as lovers. Looking back, she relied heavily on me for emotional and physical support. She went through a lot and I was always there. She left me almost 2 months ago and straight away got into a relationship with another guy. I still see her family as I part live there until I can afford a place of my own. Her younger brothers and sisters like to fill me in on what my ex has been doing even though I tell them I don't know to know and her relationship with this new guy is identical to what ours used to be. It's like I was the old model and he's the new model but for her it's an identical life. There was no reason for the break up other than being at different stages in our life. Do I have a right to feel replaced?
PegNosePete Posted October 7, 2015 Posted October 7, 2015 (edited) There was no reason for the break up other than being at different stages in our life. Humm, yet she hooked up with another guy almost immediately. I very much doubt that is a coincidence. I think someone has been telling you porkies. You have a "right" to feel however you like. There is no law against feelings. Yes, you have been replaced. Is that a bad thing? The new guy will likely get the same treatment that you did. Think yourself lucky that he's being used as an emotional crutch now, not you. Tell her relatives that you do not want to know details about your ex. If they won't listen then tell them more strongly. And move out!!! Edited October 7, 2015 by PegNosePete
Author HGD38 Posted October 7, 2015 Author Posted October 7, 2015 I meant to write that bit in speech marks!! I knew that wasn't the real reason for breaking up. I've only got one more week left then I can move into my new place so it's not too bad! And I guess you're right, maybe it's not such a bad thing that I've been replaced if that's the way people are treated, never thought of it like that!!
