I know what I am talking about. I have been there more times in my life than I would like toever admit. And once social media blew up into every aspect of our lives, you better believe Iwas using it to check things out. Before that, my best friend and I would drive by and spy andmake prank calls from landlines. Those were the days!
But I am here to tell you there is life after him and that you need to cease and desistimmediately with comparing yourself to the new girlfriend that is now in every Instagram andFacebook photo he ever posts. Please hear my plea.
You can pick her apart and make fun of her clothes, her nail polish colors, how she styles herhair, and anything you wish, but that is catty and you know it. She has got some kind ofredeeming quality to have attracted your ex and more than likely, she probably has plenty ofsimilarities to you.
You can sit there and hate her for all that she has, including him. Or you can realize that yourex and you are over and he has moved on. And you should try to move on too. In time, you willthank her because you will absolutely find someone better.
By obsessing over your ex and his new love, you are just deepening the wound andprolonging your healing. We never know what the future holds either. The worst breakup I everhad led to me making terrible boyfriend choices beyond that.
