Unwittingly brought into exP drama and now feeling depressed

Hi,

So my ex and I split this year due to his heavy drinking and abusive nature. I have slowly been picking myself up whilst trying to maintain a cordial relationship with him. I knew he was seeing other women from the time we split and although it was depressing, I had to get over it. Recently one contacted me as she had found out he was seeing other women at the same time. This was all under the pretence of being concerned about him but actually I think she was also fuming about him and was slightly imbalanced herself. It all got very serious with authorities involved but I later found out they have this volatile relationship anyway. I asked her to not contact me again but somehow I just feel like his dating etc is now all in my face. I’m still trying to get over things and am definitely not seeing anyone whereas he seems to be inundated with women. I know I made the right decision in the first place but it’s depressing me about him and all these women. How do I get over this?

How do I get over this?

By reminding yourself he's not your problem anymore and you're free to progress to a healthy relationship with someone else if you want to.

I think my confidence has been severely knocked. I’m so daunted by dating anyone anyway but I guess I feel more like I’m mumsy and too much of a goody two shoes (don’t drink) whilst he has women fighting over him and he tells me this in passing! So it’s just in my face and makes Me feel even more lonely.
