Hate my ex, but hurt seeing him with new gf

We split up, he is in love with someone else. Have never asked anything about her etc, but saw them together today, and it hurt.

Like a stab in the heart. She is everything I'm not.

I don't want him back, just never thought I would feel so shit seeing them together.

It sounds trite, Mummalish, but every day it will hurt a bit less... until one day it just doesn't hurt.

One day you'll meet somebody that you'll fall in love with too. :)

You're feeling shit because it seems (to you, and it may not actually be the case) that he's moved on/got over things more quickly than you have. And you feel shit because it is shit - it really will get easier.

i felt awful the day my vile ex got married again. unbelievable, bcs if I could I would have begged somebody (anybody) to take him off my hands. I think it's got to do with feeling left behind maybe? also it's just kind of weird in a way bcs we were together for so long and suddenly there was somebody else and it was serious. mixed emotions.

Left behind is exactly spot on.

Also to know that he is with someone fun and beautiful and what they get up to just winds me up.

Had awful dreams last night, feel slightly humiliated too.

replaced - that's how I felt, like I hadn't mattered and had been wiped out (it's not true mind - don't forget that). I consoled myself with thinking that she could NEVER be as wonderful as me LOL. sorry about your bad night M - hope it's the last xx
ps who says she's fun? beauty is only skin deep, makes no difference to the quality of a person. she's a regular human being, regardless of the packaging.

who says you are not fun and beautiful? I think this says a lot more about you feel about yourself rather than him.

Could you spend time looking after yourself for a bit? join a club, go on holiday? What ever you need to make you feel better about yourself?

Thank you everyone. Best if I know nothing more about this woman.

All I know is that he is deeply in love with her, and they have met each others family etc.

I need to get back to my wonderful old self, one step at a time, and hopfully someday someone with fall deeply in love with me!
