To be upset he moved on so quickly?

Background: me and ex were together for 6 years.engaged with One child together. We broke up a couple months ago, agreed that whilst we still loved each other it wasn't working anymore and we were better of friends who could co-parent well than we were as a couple.

I've found out today that ex went for a weekend away with a 'friend' two weeks after we broke up and they slept together.

I'm honestly just so shocked and upset. I know we were broken up and he technically didn't do anything wrong, it just really hurts that he was able to move on and sleep with someone else so quickly. Like me and the last six years were nothing.

I know I probably am being unreasonable but I just needed to get it out

Sounds like this was why he left you. He's had her lined up ready. I'm so sorry xx

My ex had moved a woman in 2 weeks after we broke up, it’s not nice but some people move on quicker than others (usually men)

I was with a bloke for 3 years - we lived together for the 3rd year, until I dumped him (was clearly only biding his time until he could leave me).

He met, impregnated and married a woman all within 2 months.

I agree too with Supa.
I'm so sorry too FlowersBrew

Probably the " mutual decisión "to separate wasn't as mutual as you'd thought...
It must sting to know he did this 2 weeks after you broke up, but realistically this isn't some random woman he met in the bar one night. He would have met her months ago when you were still together..

He might not have cheated per se, but i'm 100% sure he had her lined up before you broke up and she was part of the reason why.

You're much better off without him.

sorry op Flowers

I am going to give you a word of warning OP. Prepare for the fact that he may marry and have more kids pretty quickly too. I'm not sure if you were ever actually planning on getting married, but over 20 years have seen this happen a lot. And the guy is neatly with someone else within weeks, then married with kids in a flash.
Don't know why they do it, personally, think they had checked out of the relationship, etc sometime before so were mentally prepared to move on?
It's very hurtful though, try to focus on yourself and forget about him.

Thank you everyone.
The way he phrased it was that it was an old friend that he got back in touch with when we broke up. He went to her city to catch up and it just happened. I've no idea how true this version is, I guess it doesn't really matter. Doesn't make it hurt any less
