My girlfriend left me after 5 years and found someone else


Recommended Posts

3 months ago my ex broke up with me after 5 years together. I wont bother you with the details I already did that in a past thread of mine

Basically she broke up with me and found another guy with whom she most probably overlapped with.

 

I still love her very much and for the sake of preserving my own sanity I went strict no contact with her.

Unfortunatelly we are from the same small (2000+ people) and have a lot of mutual friends in real life and on social media/facebook (around 60 mutual FB friends). I unfriended her there but because of all these mutual acquaintances I always somehow get to find out what shes up to with her new boyfriend.

 

Its really painfull to hear about some new photo where she is hugging/kissing the other guy. But on top I have to deal with the fact that most people/acquaintances in my hometown are able to see it. I keep asking myself how does it make me look in front of everybody, considering I was the guy who got dumped for someone else.

 

I keep visiting my hometown fairly frequently to see my parents on the weekends and I see that while some people try not to mention the break-up at all, some just outright go out of their way to avoid me and some dont talk to me either but give me the pitying look instead. I dont know which is worse honestly.

 

She should know that I am not ok with this, but I cannot simply ask her to stop posting such photos or statuses on Facebook.

Things like this are making the recovery, which is very hard in itself, even more difficult. Really dont know what to do here.

 

Block her on everything. Quit the pain shopping.

 

You should further your career. Make a geographic move. Go your own way like she did. You are holding you back. It's not her anymore
