Ex got married, I'm happy for him but..

[StrongerThanIThought76]

We went out for a year, he was younger than me, never married, no kids, whereas I had kids, EA ex, messy divorce. He was so good to me but I never felt worthy of him.

After we broke up I ended up back with a previous ex who promised me the world.

So I just found out he got married. I'm delighted for him, he's such a fantastic, genuine bloke who really deserves happiness.

I'm in the same position I was - promises from dp not materialised, same old shit etc etc.

Help me get out of my funk please - and step away from stalking social media...

I feel your pain. I remember my eldest son telling me that my ex was engaged. I had to pull the car in, I felt so traumatised. It sounds dramatic now. Luckily there was no social media then. We have both been married for years now. It's a cliche but time heals everything x x

I don't think your jealous of your ex and his new life, I think it's more that your unhappy with your current partner. He's obviously not right for you if he's promising the earth and then going back on his promises.

Maybe use this as a wake up call? How long have you been with dp? Is he going to keep giving you empty promises? Do you want to stay with him?
I've been in a similar position, my ex got married and had a child, the man I met after we split promised marriage and happily ever after initially- then just dicked about, stringing me along, I allowed myself to be strung along for 14 years. Fucking waste of time.
Now he's promising the same to someone else. . . .

Even if you're pleased for them that feeling of being left behind is horrible but perhaps it's your current DP that you need to be stepping away from?

I think like Glitter said, this is all about your current situation.
