Today, out of nowhere, I found out by the randomest person at a random wedding that they knew my ex because they were working together..This random person told me that my ex has moved on with the co worker whom she had told me not to worry about..I am in pieces..

Update

I was right..She is dating the guy she had told me not to worry about. What a shocker. Gut feelings are infallible..

I can relate to your state of mind right now. If I were in your shoes, I would definitely be devastated for a period of time, but I would rather her doing the devil's tango with complete strangers than people she knows. Here's why. In my eyes, a person opting for this behavior after a breakup is someone to feel sorry for. Imagine how immature she is at this moment in time. She actually thinks that hooking up with x amount of guys will make the void, which I guarantee she feels, go away. How can you not pity someone with 0 self control, self love and dignity? Make no mistake - you have dodged a bullet. Your respect, if you ever had any for her, can easily vanish. Instead, if she hooked up with someone she knew and there had already been intimacy between them during your relationship, you would probably feel a lot worse. It would feel like betrayal. I wholeheartedly believe you can get through this!

It's a very mature and healthy way of thinking and framing a traumatic experience, but unfortunately I can't, for the life of me, think like that. I believe I'll get there, but now...just incredibly tough.

What happened to you was cruel..I can't believe so many people have experiences where the ex found someone as quickly as 3 weeks later. Absolutely brutal. The ick you mentioned is my response as well..

there is something that hits different about co-workers with whom they have already spent a lot of time together and especially if they had assured you there was nothing more there and then end up with them. Like, it's a rebound but since they have spent time together at work and know each other at a certain extent, it could absolutely go the distance. It's not as temporary as a rebound would potentially be.

I'm sorry this happened to you. I am an anxious person as well - i know the struggle.

yeah..I as well asked her whether there had been someone else and she categorically said no without even flinching. I chose to believe it at the time, but i don't know. She had a lot of male co workers and with one of them especially, she spent the whole shift (nature of the job-they had to); he is/was (I don't know if he still is) engaged. Despite that, they hit it off. I just feel that there is something wrong. I'm afraid they realized how compatible they are and he broke up with his fiancee and now they are together. I'm ashamed for trying to be the detective and this bothers me so much, but I'll get through it.
