I think you should disregard the coincidence and enjoy the time with the new guy.
If you want to sleep with him, you've every right to do so! Don't let the bad memory cast a cloud on something lovely.

Virtual handheld OP. You can select an option on memories to stop seeing memories with certain people appearing again.

What's bothering you?

Try to remember that you were strong enough to get this person out of your life. You are strong enough to start the process of healing from the hold he had over you. It might take some time but you can do it!

The anniversary only means something in the context of the relationship, which is over. It's totally natural to feel like this.

The anniversary to get stuck in your head is the date you set yourself free. When that date comes around, celebrate it!
