Finding it so hard even though I left him

My ex who I left for various reasons lives around the corner. I’m finding it difficult as I see his car/him all the time especially as he parks his car at the local pub.

i feel like I can’t escape. He’s started a relationship with the barmaid.

although I don’t want him back this hurts as I actually thought it would be the man I’d end up with for life. But we were on different planets.

it is also hard seeing them barmaid / him outside the pub I have no choice to go past as this is my route to work , shops motorway etc.

just need a little support feel stressed with like skeletons of past still hanging around.

What changed to make you feel like you were on different planets?

He was drinking didn’t put me first, wouldn’t go aware, no plans, didn’t get each other. Plus I caught him on a dating site !

Remind yourself everyday before you have to do that journey that he was a ‘wrong’un’. Make a list of all the shitty things he did and read it before you go out.

Then make sure you walk past the pub with your head high and look confident.

As you dumped him it’s possible he doesn’t want to see you either, so think to yourself that it hurts him more than you.

Good luck

He sounds like a shitty character, I doubt it will last long with his new woman, then hopefully he won't be visiting the local, until then, just drive past without looking.
