Feeling horrible

I can't stop thinking about my ex and checking out his new girlfriends social media
He dumped me a couple of months ago and said he didn't want a relationship and we could only be friends and now his new girlfriend has picture of them on holiday, meeting family and posts about how perfect he is to her
It's destroying me I can't work properly or eat

It's making me feel so worthless but I can't stop looking

Just an update I am feeling so much better

All the kind people who posted on this literally saved my sanity
I literally came back on the post and read and reread !

If anyone comes across my post the best advice I can give is stick to the no contact and it will be so much better just give it time ! I am so glad I did not reach out and message this man I cannot understand what I ever saw in him in the first place

"Well he lied about his age and having kids before we met
Little lies all the time about his past
He never wanted to meet up towards the end saying how busy he was and clearly he has another woman
I know that he treated his ex wife horrifically and that he had at least four long term affairs and visited prostitutes when he was with her
Ran up debts with her and committed a crime to sort them out
When I was with him he just used to speak about his ex wife a lot and how he only stayed with her because she couldn't cope without him even when we just had sex"

This ^^ is what the new gf has to look forward to.

Most of us have been guilty of this mindset - thinking that they will treat the new gf better.

Lying, cheating, scumbags don't change.
They just put a veneer of 'niceness' on to lure in the unwary.

This sums it up neatly ;

OP you dodged a bullet, be thankful.

Hi Op, just to let you know, this happened to me. (Only read your first post) and the only thing that helps me is to block both him and her. Facebook did (not sure if it still does?) not allow you to reblock an unblocked person for 48 hours, so that would always put me off un blocking to just have a quick nosey as then i'd be nosing for 48 hours until I could block again, didn't help atall!

Block them both, I would get into such a panic when I went to check up on them, awful.

Oops just realised how old this thread is! Glad you're feeling better op.

Sadly, he will not treat his new gf any better. And yes, the longer you are NC, the more you will come to your senses. Realising your ex, who you once loved so much, is a loser is a hard pill to swallow.

Well done for moving on, OP.
