How do you stop jealousy of the other woman?

Long term partner left me for someone else last month, I suspected something was going on but was too scared to confront him. I came back from a weekend away with my best friend to find that he had moved out. No note or call. Two days later he announced a new relationship on Facebook.

I’m finding it incredibly difficult to stop feeling sheer jealousy over her. I wonder what she had that I didn’t and why he has chosen her. It feels as if I wasn’t good enough and my self esteem has diminished. I keep looking at social media to try to find out more. I hate the mishmash of feelings - sad, anxious, jealous, angry. I have never felt this consumed by my emotions before. I’m struggling to motivate myself to be busy, I just haven’t the energy and feel exhausted.

Has anyone managed to switch from this frame of mind? I still miss him and crave his presence.

Flowers It is early days yet, give yourself some time. Your feelings are still raw and it is natural that you will feel this way. Be kind to yourself and in a few months you will start to wonder what you saw in the cheating bastard anyway. It may not feel like it now but he is really not worth your head space.
