Just split up a week go. 6 years together

[TheOpalFox]

When they post a status of being on a date? I didn’t think it was possible to feel pain in your chest but I just felt it! 💔🤯

How old are you both out of interest?

You split a week ago. No reason to be friends on Facebook unless to torture yourself op

If they are posting a status about it, after 1 week it’s likely it didn’t even happen. Probably doing it to get a reaction from you.

42? Why?

This is what I have learned in nearly 60 years.
If a long relationship ends, even an awful one, and you don’t mourn it, reflect on it, and learn from it, you take the same old shit into anyting new. And it rarely works, even if on paper the couple stays together.
MN is littered with tales of women who have been on a date with someone in these circumstances, and they just play to the gallery.
People can live a whole adult life like this, never taking a moment to reflect on why a relationship never worked. They never look at what they could have done differently, or what they’d like to change.
So the date isn’t about this person wanting to genuinely connect. It’s an ego boost, validation, and a way of burying all of their tired old shit so they don’t have to think about it.
That pain in your chest? That’s genuine. It’s hurtful to have to see it.
My only advice would be to remove yourself from any space they are in. Any space.
Then take some time. Don’t react, don’t go on a date out of revenge, you need some time to yourself. Then when you are ready, you are ready.
This kind of date is an escape from reality. Nothing more.

I am sorry you are going through this my DD is going through this at the moment but why are you checking on what he is doing.

Because it seems very childish to be updating FB that you’re “on a date”

Defriend

I am guessing partner broke up with you? Did they give a reason?

Delete Facebook. It's a weird thing to post if you're not 16.

Sorry you're suffering OP. It will pass.

No, I think the OW was already on the scene way before the split.

Or it could be a lie just to get a reaction. Either way, it could be argued that you’re bringing on your own torture by following him around online 🤷🏻‍♀️

Block them, no good will come of fb stalking!

Agree that blocking is the kindest thing you can do for yourself. You have no ability to influence their actions and looking at their socials only gives them access to hurt you more. Don’t let them.
It doesn’t reflect well that someone is on a date a week after leaving a relationship, and the fact they want to post about it tells you all you need to know about them and their morals, or lack thereof.
Don’t retaliate, keep your own counsel and take time to heal. It hurts like hell to start with but it does get easier with time.

My ex put that he was in a new relationship, less than two weeks after we’d broken up, on my birthday.

I removed him as a friend straight away.

Don’t torture yourself.

I thought you'd been together 3 years?

Either way just delete him from Facebook

Just block them. To look at their SM is just self harming.
