He left me and already has a new gf

Absolutely heartbroken. Had a lovely holiday 2 months ago, he walked out the day we got home, no discussion, nothing. Has continued to string me along when it transpires he has a new girlfriend and said girlfriend and children have been around our shared child together for weeks. I knew. Deep down. Even knew who it was. Denied denied denied. 8 years of loving him to be discarded like I was nothing. I am so broken. I miss him. I love him. I truly don’t know what to do or have any clue how to move forward/get over it/deal with my little boy going off to play happy families when he still thinks his dad will be coming home. I wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemy. There’s nothing anybody can do or say and I am just so so lost 😞

You miss and love who he pretended to be. You do not want this horrible man. You will get over this and be stronger and meet someone deserving of your love. Take care of yourself and delete all his contact details.

I’m sorry. I suspect he went on the holiday because it was booked and always knew it was over once you returned. He probably doesn’t have a new girlfriend either; he likely has a long term girlfriend who he was being unfaithful to you with.

He is not someone worth the upset you are feeling.

I'm sorry you're feeling heartbroken. I had something similar happen to me when my partner of 4 years walked out on me pregnant for another woman.
The pain of that heartbreak was so bad I could feel it in my body.

If someone had told me when it happened that one day, I would smile again and be happy - I would've told them they were lying.

All I can say is take each day as it comes and one day you will be okay again - I promise.

Also he's terrible and make a log of all his faults - he's not as great as you've thought he is.

My heart breaks every time I look at our little boy. He deserved so much more.

He has you!! You both will be fine. I'm sure this isn't the future you envisioned for yourself and your son, but you are still going to give him a beautiful upbringing. Stay strong for him, he needs you.

So sorry op. I've been there.

Reach out to friends and your gp. Get therapy if you can.

It's not like a normal break up when it happens this way. The betrayal is very traumatic.

Be very kind to yourself, it will slowly get easier in time. Just go day by day for now.

Take care.

I'm sorry op
I'm right there with you my ex left just before our baby was born and had a new gf who he was introducing baby to less than 5m later. Hes now a toddler and doing family days with her and her child which I'm plodding along as a single mum doing everything for our child.
