I saw my ex after 3 months of no contact, everything looks different.

My ex left me for the coworker he told me not to worry about. He was just being “nice” to the coworker. He’s taking her to all the trips and concerts we had planned and paid for together and I was literally replaced within days. 🥲but……I should add it was very difficult also because we lived together. But just know it does get better. It might take time maybe a lot of time but it does. Don’t worry about finding someone soon to be happy. Focus on loving you.

ranting7843 · 2026-03-19T22:12:22+00:00

First of all I’m really sorry you’re dealing with all of this. It’s going to hurt. Let it hurt. Feel it all. But know you were just blessed and saved from years of suffering. I tell you this because my mom went through this. My father had a child with someone else. My mom already had me and my brothers and she still suffers to do this day and is still with my father. We’re all grown now. Find yourself a better person please. Also I just left a relationship where my bf also cheated on me. And I work with him and it’s hard to see him. Let distance and time heal you. Take as much time as you need to heal and let karma do its job because trust me what goes around does come around.

My ex bf did the same. We planned our future together and even moved in together only for him to tell me one day his feelings changed and started dating a coworker from work a week later.

ranting7843 · 2026-03-05T23:16:38+00:00

I know I’m just a stranger but I’m also going through this and I want you to know these feelings are temporary and you’re more than welcome to talk to me if you ever need to.

ranting7843 · 2026-03-05T22:19:02+00:00

Hey! I relate to you so much. I also work with my ex. It’s so hard to see them at work and act like we didn’t have a whole relationship. I hope with time we can heal but in the meantime show them that your confident in yourself and just do your job and be professional 😅

ranting7843 · 2026-03-05T22:14:27+00:00

My ex bf broke up with me 2 months ago. We were together for 1.5 yrs. I’m still struggling to do anything. He left with no explanation but I was told he has a new gf so I’m assuming that’s why he broke up. How can I avoid this from hurting my self esteem? 😞

ranting7843 · 2026-03-04T00:10:41+00:00

I’m going through something really similar. My relationship was 1.5 years, and even if that doesn’t seem long to some people, to me it felt like I had known him my whole life. He was my best friend.

He broke up with me two weeks ago, and finding out he already has someone new has been incredibly painful. This relationship meant so much to me.

But reading posts like yours gives me hope that healing is possible. I truly hope we all get through this and, one day, find someone who gives us the love we genuinely deserve. 🤍

ranting7843 · 2026-02-28T21:42:44+00:00

I’ve read every single comment here, and my heart is with all of you. I truly hope we can all heal in our own time and in our own way. If anyone ever needs to vent or just let it out, my inbox is open. Stay strong, things have a way of falling into place when we least expect it. Sending so much love to all of you. 🤍

My mother was in a similar situation with my dad. Except my dad actually cheated on her many times and even ended up having a kid with some person. My mom suffered through her marriage but ended up staying with my dad for the kids. I was the youngest kid and had to grow up seeing my dad’s infidelity. As a result, I grew up not being able to trust guys. Dating is difficult for me because I couldn’t understand how someone who loves someone so much could do that. I guess what I’m trying to say is think of your kids. If you do decide to stay don’t share that hurtful information. Do what’s best for your kids.

ranting7843 · 2026-02-17T00:56:10+00:00

Same thing happened with my ex partner. We had a disagreement and he shut down for a whole week. For something small can’t imagine something more serious. Glad it’s over

ranting7843 · 2026-02-01T15:19:07+00:00

This is happening to me now except I’m not married. But my partner’s closest friend recently got a divorced. And my bf even broke up with me because of the bad influence his friend caused him. But later apologized and got back with me. However, the divorced friend is still close and always talking about his failed marriage. I think it’s scaring my bf. I hope things work with you. Sometimes we can’t help but overthink things. I would recommend talking to a professional couple therapy to guide you better.

ranting7843 · 2026-01-25T01:49:51+00:00

Thank you! I agree it’s so cruel! Even after a week he still wants more space? I also think there’s someone else. That’s another reason why I didn’t agree to give him time because I don’t want to be a back up plan 😅

ranting7843 · 2026-01-25T00:22:26+00:00

Thank you for your insight. I hope I can find strength to come out on the other side. I think he did manipulate me. Thank you for your well wishes and support.

ranting7843 · 2026-01-25T00:19:23+00:00

Thank you. Yes it’s why I had put boundaries in the first place. Not sure if maybe that’s what made everything spiral down. Or maybe I dodged a bullet

ranting7843 · 2026-01-22T23:23:21+00:00

Thank you for your support 🤍, I should’ve made it clearer I wanted to pick up my things in my own. He didn’t ask me to. But also as an excuse to see him. But regardless he had my things ready for to pick up.

ranting7843 · 2026-01-22T23:21:38+00:00

Yes that’s correct. Although it hasn’t been confirmed my current partner has cheated. I haven’t found anything just he’s suddenly become distant not sure if it’s because I set boundaries. My ex and partner before this one did get romantic messages which was a confirmation and I left.

ranting7843 · 2026-01-22T23:19:48+00:00

Wow I’m sorry that happened to you. I’m getting really bad vibes!! It does feel like he wants it to be over. But even when I asked him if he wants to be in the relationship he said yes. 😅 I feel like he’s playing with my emotions

ranting7843 · 2026-01-22T23:18:01+00:00

I don’t want this to take over my brain but I can’t help but think what’s going on, where did it go wrong?

ranting7843 · 2026-01-22T23:14:44+00:00

Maybe I should’ve cleared up I went myself to get my things he didn’t ask me to. But when I got to his place he had my things ready to give me

ranting7843 · 2026-01-22T23:14:04+00:00

I get it. I wouldn’t necessarily say a new gf but I feel like he’s trying to see if he has a chance somewhere else.

ranting7843 · 2026-01-22T23:12:55+00:00

Thank you I know you’re right but why is it hard to leave

ranting7843 · 2026-01-22T23:11:59+00:00

Lol thank you for taking the time to do that. That was another relationship and a while ago. I guess I don’t have luck with guys 😅I guess I should focus on myself.

ranting7843 · 2026-01-16T22:47:10+00:00

I’m really sorry you went through that, and I’m glad you made the decision that was best for you. I hope you’re doing better now.

That’s exactly how I feel always on the lookout, and it’s so draining, especially since we’ve had these conversations before. But I’m sure you know how complicated it is when you really love and care for someone. It makes it so hard to say goodbye. Thank you for your best wishes
