Dumped for someone else ...how do I get over it?

36 replies

He dumped me for another woman.
Prettier
More funny
Nicer body
He is still on my social media.
Just seen his Snapchat out for tea (obviously with her)
How do I get over that I wasn't enough?

@ScarJo I'm not sure if it is the same poster, but this particular OP has been posting for months about the same subject. Usually deleted as a PBP. I agree she may need some sort of professional help.

Hang on! Are you the same poster who posted about this very thing,but your're using a different user name?

I hadn't watched for a few days then I noticed he had put a pic of a valentines card and a love heart ..I couldn't not look so I clicked and that's what it was.

Most people on this thread are saying 'BLOCK AND DELETE'

And you OP are like, 'Yes but....., yes but...'. You are obsessed to an unhealthy degree. You are like an addict needing their drugs.

How to say this clearly:
IF YOU BLOCK HIM YOU WILL NOT KNOW WHEN HE HAS POSTED AND YOU WILL NOT BE TEMPTED TO LOOK.

You say, 'I couldn't not look'...no, you CHOSE to look because you can't control yourself right now.

That is why people are saying BLOCK AND DELETE because you can't help yourself and keep self harming by looking.

Its easy to be curious and want to know whats going. Im sure alot of people are guilty of it, checking an exes page while things are still fresh just to see whats going on. Especially if you ended with confusion or not complete closure...on top of not fully being over the person. Ive been there myself and i ended up really prolonging moving on and looking like a complete idiot as I contacted him while in an absolute mess with myself one day.

You really need to cut the attachment it will do way more harm than good. He obviously doesnt care as much about you so why give him any of your energy. Its hard at first but trust me you will feel alot better alot sooner

The whole of mn have been telling her to block and delete this part time fwb for almost a year.

She just makes a new username to post similar stuff a few times a week.

🤷‍♀️

Reframe it - do you really want a cheat? A poor excuse for a Male? No you've had a lucky escape

If you're unable to do this after months and keep obsessing then you need psychiatric help.

It's not months,it's only 3 weeks

I've had this happen to me too, not sure why everyone assumes it's all the same poster, the OP's post is very vague 🙄 it's hard but try not to look at their social media, block him on any channels you can and it will get better in time. It doesn't mean you weren't enough, and pretty/funny are very subjective things.
I really hope you will feel better in time 💐

INXS998 · 27/01/2020 18:45

And like PPs have said, ask yourself if someone who's able to do that to you is really what you want/think you deserve ?

Don’t look OP - you’re rubbing salt into a very raw wound. I think post-break up we don’t think clearly. My philandering ex has had various girlfriends since me and each time I’ve questioned what they had that I didn’t and really it’s nothing. He just likes the beginnings of things. None of them were any better than me. And it’s besides the point. I’ve reached a time in my life where I realise that I’m actually a pretty good person and a decent girlfriend. Nobody is ever enough for him. He’s cheated on every single girlfriend and continues to do so.

Try not to dwell OP, the man is a scum bag by the sounds of it.

I was once in love with a man who dumped me for someone who was the complete opposite of me. Different body shape and interests etc.

I look back now and wonder what I saw in him. You will do the same with your ex. It takes time to heal but you will get there and meet someone else Thanks

Not sure why everyone is piling on her, has nobody else on Mumsnet ever been dumped for someone else ? 🤔
Definitely remove him from snapchat, this will hurt for some time but eventually you will see you have had a very lucky escape from this loser.
