One Sided Moving On

Me and my partner split up 3 months ago (they broke it off) and they’re in a new relationship already. We were together for 3 years. I feel a bit betrayed and angry even though we’ve had no contact at all and are nothing to do with each other anymore. It’s mostly because I’m still not fully over it and am wondering how they could be with a whole new person. I didn’t want to get back with them but it’s still so early for me to even fathom getting with anyone else yet as I still have a lot of emotions tied to our relationship and the past 3 years of my life.

I can’t tell if it’s just that 3 months can be enough time for some people or if it is weird that they’d be over it this fast and I’m not really sure how I should be feeling lol. My friend is outraged but she would be since she’s MY friend.

It's different for everyone and can depend on the reason for the break-up. Sometimes partners have been unhappy for a while so they're over the relationship long before the actual split, some people like to be in a relationship and will move on quickly, sometimes they've actually found someone with whom they are compatible and will get involved.

I don’t think so! I’ll look around for threads from people in a similar situation then, thanks : )

Yeah, makes sense, thank you

It can also be difficult for people to come to terms with a relationship ending. With a forlorn hope that new advice might be different and help
