How to get over being dumped for someone else ?

[Ladykady]

It was only short (couple of months). But I was mad about this guy. 3 months later he has MOVED to be with the girl in the city she lives in , I went on her Facebook (I know) and she has written that he is the 'love of her life'.
He 'loves' on Facebook things she puts (he only 'liked' stuff I put.

I know looking online was not helpful so I blocked both which helped, but sometimes curiosity gets the better of you.

The thing is that he didn't even end things with me, I found out via social media and was absolutely floored. My friend said he seemed like such a sweet guy and she couldn't believe he would do that.

I get it, sometimes you like someone else more. But why do they have to have the fucking Disney romance of the year.

Tips to move on ? Anyone else been in this boat ?

I'm used to not seeing or speaking to him anymore, I have come to accept that I will likely never see him again, even though a part of me hopes they will break up.

But I have to tell myself, why would I want someone like him ?

I'm doing the usual hobbies and all that, but how do you fully stop hurting when they met someone else they liked more ?

Op did you post about this before? At least once if not more? He went away, EUROPE. And was met the girl then? Your story seems very familiar as does your way of writing about it.

The whole story seems juvenile.
You just met him, barely knew him, not even in a relationship and made for him’....
Him and his ‘love of lifetime’, etc.
I am going to assume all of you are very very young and just learning about relationships.
These feelings will dissipate as quickly as they appeared. At least for you.
His side - if the story is real - who knows - may or may not work out. It’s his life.

There was a saying - when relationships breakdown women blame themselves and men blame others

what you must never do is blame yourself or think you did anything wrong or were not good enough or pretty enough or clever enough or anything like that.You had an unlucky love affair and next time you will be forewarned

But this has happened to me TWICE and both times the men were really 'nice'guys ,attractive, highly educated with good jobs,lots of friends, their own houses and considered themselves good guys

The first guy was 'madly in love'with me and we were together 2 years ...He got a new job and began behaving strangely ...we weren't living together ...he just disappeared ..as in I couldn't get him to answer his phone or his door ...my friends suggested there may be someone else but such was my trust in him that I didn't believe it ...but there was and it took me chasing him down for weeks to hear he wanted it over. He was so cowardly he couldn't face me Met him 15 months later and he was crying about how he made a mistake !!!

Next time I was wary and I met a guy through work...solvent,funny attractive,intelligent and would consider himself a stand up guy
We know each other about a year before dating ,then started dating,had alot of fun and alot in common...then after 1.5 years he changed jobs and next after a few months he too became unavailable
Said he didnt know what he wanted from life .I told him take sometime to figure it out ...guess where he was? He rang me after 6 week saying he wanted back. He wrote to me 2 months later saying he missed me....Denied there was anyone else . He married her 10 years later
I gave up on men ...

It just some guys dont know what they want and are not necessarily 'bad'guys they just blow hot and cold. and are very immature ..eventually settling down when the choices run out

Are you all quite young OP? Just because in that case, maybe it's different, but in my "generation", I've found that relationships where people are very demonstrative on social media are usually not all that. Agree with previous posters, you've most likely dodged a bullet there.
