What to Do If Your Ex is in a New Relationship and You're Not
Dealing with the Fact that Your Old Boyfriend is Moving On
You spotted him at the mall and were just about to walk up say hi...when she appears. You know who I mean. The girl he is arm-in-arm with. The one who took your place! Yes, I said it, and it hurts. Quickly, you run for cover and hope he doesn't see you...alone.
It doesn't matter how long you have been broken up. The first one to move on to a new relationship is the first one to acknowledge that yes, your relationship is over, and no, there is not a chance for reconciliation.

Stay away...far away. That is, until you can handle seeing him with her. And if the two of you travel in the same social circles, distance yourself from that group for a while. You have to. While he's introducing her around, you will be sulking in a corner. Don't put yourself in that position.
- Finally, lean on your guy friends. Gay, straight, it doesn't matter. Find some guys, cry on their shoulders (only for a short time) and then get over it. Have some fun with them. A little male attention goes a long way in helping you get over a bad break up. And who knows, one of those friendships could turn into something more...

Post a CommentThanks for this article, great tips! I would also recommend deleting the ex's phone number from your cell address book to avoid the temptation of calling or texting, and deleting or blocking him from your FB friends to avoid getting statuses about what he's doing. I know it is really difficult, but it works for the best.
