I’m now the woman on the other side, and I feel bad for her.

Ground chicken fajita high protein bowl.

My ex and I dated for four years. He used to emotionally and occasionally physically cheat on me and then gaslight me into believing that I was wrong for even questioning him for it. During that time my self esteem was low af, like it was in hell, and I used behaved exactly like someone who was young (22-26) and very insecure. He eventually broke up with me and we have been no contact. That was 4 years ago. I have moved on, sought therapy, and enjoyed my life since.

He started dating his current gf 3 month after he broke up with me and she has been quietly stalking my socials ever since they got together, 4 years ago. But recently the creeping has ramped up. She has even sent me a friend request from her finsta. I personally don’t care, as it lowkey makes me laugh inside. But at the same time I feel really sad for her because she’s doing the exact same things I used to do to all the women he used to cheat on me with. It makes believe he’s doing to her what he did to me, and I know it’s none of my concern what happens in their relationship, but I do feel for her because no woman or anyone really should have to deal with that in their relationship(s).

Edit: some of y’all have provided thoughtful pov’s. I didn’t accept her friend request, but I accepted her message request. I’ll hear her out, but unless her safety is at risk, I don’t see myself really doing any follow ups with her. I appreciate all the input thus far!
