| Getting into the groove of life post break-up is never easy. But you know you made the right decision to move without him. You feel a renewed sense of hope; you’ve taken control of your life and can say that you are content in the here and now. It usually happens when you’re having a great day. The sun is shining, you’re not spending your days crying anymore. Then, out of nowhere, the rug gets pulled out from you and reality smacks you in the face like a ton of bricks. You get word that they are in a new relationship… This news can come via a well-meaning friend who ran into him or your social media notifications can inform you that you might know this person. You see their happy faces glowing back to you from your phone screen and your ‘walking on sunshine’ moment turns into an angst-ridden shock of five emotions hitting you at once. Envy, rage, remorse, sadness and hysteria. WTF! You were supposed to move on first. He was supposed to be a crumpled hot mess trying to figure life out without you. This is going against your divine plan. Countless conversations with your girlfriends remind you that you are better off without him. They remind you of the TRUTH that you actually do NOT want him back. They point out that the new girl’s nose does not fit her face and that she will now be saddled with his infamous inability to make decisions. Still, it hurts. The sting takes a while to dull to know your once beloved is in a different place from you. We know. It sucks. BUT, your time is coming. It’s important to remember an ex is an ex for a reason and you are going onward in your life. Never backward. |
