I have ruined my own weekend

I broke up with a man who lied, manipulated and cheated on me 4 years ago.

I feel like such a failure this weekend. I have not achieved anything since my ex. He seems to have the perfect partner, perfect home and has become a father.

The woman that he two timed me with (yes jezza Kyle shit) is now happily engaged.

It’s only me that seems to have let him ruin me and I don’t have the fight to see past it all and make something of myself. I just feel like such a failure.

You are not a failure. You left a man who wasn't good enough for you - that was the right choice. If you had married him, your life wouldn't be perfect, you'd be driving yourself mad wondering who he was with and what he was doing all the time he was out of your sight!
Possibly this is what his wife is doing now. Don't judge his life as perfect from what you see on the outside as the reality is often different.
Maybe the ow is happy, but she was never your problem. You need to find the things that will make your own life happy and ignore what is going on on theirs.

Right , if you’re just gauging this from social media then no one really is going to post how shit their relationship is are they ? He probably has cheated on her too but he’s managed to get better at being deceitful.

You need to stop thinking about him . Focus on making your life what you want it to be. You can make everything in your life perfect now that you aren’t with this defective person.

Get a hobby , join a gym, do some charity work , do an open university course , the world is your fucking oyster!!!

Comparison is the way to misery, especially bloody social media. I know it's hard not to, especially when people treat you like shit by cheating and betraying. Just focus on you and sod them. They might have crap lives behind closed doors anyway, some people make a huge show of everything because they are insecure.

Blimey! Congratulations l! 🏖🥤🥂🍾
You’re free of a total cunt.
If you’d done nothing else in the last four years I would say that’s enough.

And remember leopards don’t change their spots. EVER
