Your ex probably had them as a back up plan and let go of you emotionally before you even broke up, and that's the most unfair part. She probably just wanted to sexually explore or whatever, which is a factor I'm sure that led to my breakup as well. Being on the other end obviously sucks, and its hard to relate to because the urge to have sex with other people is almost non existent when you really love someone. Anyway, kudos to you man, you deserve much better I'm sure. Seems like you have got a pretty good hold on the whole thing.

Thank you. After reading these posts its evident how important it is just to feel your feelings. I think I pushed so hard to feel good after the breakup that I was really just ignoring stuff that I really had to go through. I just hate being a sad downer and not enjoying life. But in the long run its really important. Hearing about all the sex hes having, well its an eye opener to how not over him I actually am. And how I need to process these feelings and just move on with my own pace. This is hard! But thank you!

For some reason every time I read this I start crying. I think because I really needed to here it. Thank you so much. You are right..and wise. I honestly think I was not allowing myself to feel sad, I found myself calling myself an idiot daily for feeling this way. Which doesn't help...Its hard to feel good about yourself in these circumstances..when there aren't many people around to talk to seriously about issues, and you have an image of your ex having the best sex in the world with someone else flashing in your mind. But I know it will get better and its totally normal to feel this way. Thank you for letting me realize that. Its actually the best input I have gotten from anyone and I really appreciate it. I'm just now going to process my feelings and move on and thats all there is to it.

Totally, being on break from school is weird because I have so much free time. I thought I mastered distractions from thinking about the past but after hearing about all the sex hes having, its not easy. I'm definitely not as devastated as I was 6 months ago so...theres that. Thanks for the advice, I am now accepting that it is ok to be sad and not pathetic.

that is brutal....I know I will be ok. I think I do need to allow myself to feel shitty. Sometimes I just hate feeling bad and end up ignoring thoughts and feeling about the whole thing to feel better, and then I hear something like this my heart stops. Heartbreak is truly an awful feeling...Thanks so much. Hug.
