Why can't I stop feeling angry about my Ex!

[Suze99]

Hi.. I have been single for almost 8 years. I have 2 teenage daughters. Their Dad seems them for a minimal amount of time. The first few years we all got on great and I would say we were friends. Two years ago I discovered that he knew his present girlfriend 2 years before we split via a picture turning up on facebook. I asked him to remove this in case the kids got wind of it...He said I was being ridiculous.. So things began to deteriate between us and now I can bare to speak to him and I feel so angry. I don't even want to think about him and I am getting annoyed at myself..why can't I let this go?

Maybe it's the feeling of being lied to all these years? Or that you feel he isn't respecting your friendship by removing a hurtful photo? Was it your idea to split or your ex's? Was he having an affair with the girlfriend or he just knew her as an acquaintance?

Sorry OP sounds like you're having a tough time at the moment. Have you considered counselling as a way to explore the issue further?

Oh no, that's horrible. I get it. I hope you are able to get past these feelings though. Not a nice way to feel.
