Hi all, I am really hurt by the thought that my ex bf has met somebody in under 7 weeks after leaving me. A week prior he told me he still loved me. I am feeling so anxious and can't stop obsessing over the thought of him with another women. Should I tell him how much it's hurting me, or just delete him and move forward. i'm so sorry, i know you are in a lot of pain. the pain will not be reduced by telling him how you feel. it will be exacerbated by humiliation and whatever response or non-response you receive from a man who is not able to meet your needs and who has moved on to act out his dysfunctions and disappoint someone else. That's the real deal- he just found another person to use and mistreat. Letting him do that is your first step in changing your own patterns, which is what is really most important to you, you're just triggered. yoi know you can't continue down the same road with the same people, you're trying to take another path now with new people. This is an excruciating first step but it is a step toward letting go.... don't tell him, tell the people who can help you get through it, as horrible as it is. He can't help you, he can make it worse for you. i'm very sorry. this makes me think of that post i wrote about letting go of an attachment that causes deep harm, i can't remember what thread it was on- but this would be a good time to read that . and keep posting here instead of reaching out to him and opening yourself up to that cycle that has proven itself to be painful, time after time.

Good morning juniper As always you soothe with your replies. What a brilliant post and I am going to take your advice. Im so proud of myself I didn't react on my emotions earlier this morning. I am not sleeping well as my mind is so active. You are so right he is just fixing himself regardless of the other person. I can't thank you enough for replying so promptly it has made my day a little more bearable. Have a lovely day Xx ah, good! you'll get much better support and encouragement posting here, than reaching back and down to him. just keep doing it, it's already paying off more than trying to feel better through him, isn't it? habits are hard to change, and sometimes we may forget that our impulses are also habits. good to pause when the habit hits and find a better habit. have a better day, and remember things you are thankful for, that always helps
