Ex is dating someone new.
was seeing a guy for about three months, and even though it wasn’t a super long relationship, it felt really meaningful. We got close quickly, and I genuinely cared about him and saw potential there.
We were saying i love you to each other, planning a future, and had little arguments, mainly resulting from him not wanting to accommodate when meeting friends (hed bring me places just to play fifa and leave me to mingle with his friends), which made me feel nervous.
He ended things over our age gap(im 29, and he’s 24) which seemed random to me. I was having a hard day this week, and figured id see what he had been up to only to find he blocked me, even though we weren’t following each other anymore. I checked through a mutual, and saw that only a few days later he had already started interacting a lot with another guy on Instagram. Now, around two months later, it looks like they’re basically dating publicly/posting each other.
The timing of everything really messed with my head. Part of me feels hurt, jealous, and almost betrayed, even though technically we weren’t together anymore. My brain keeps going to: “Did he already start talking to this guy before we broke up?” or “Was I much less important to him than he was to me?”
I know social media can distort things, and I know three months isn’t objectively that long, but emotionally it hit me hard. The blocking especially made me feel strangely “erased” or replaced, and could not identify any reason that he would do that.
I know I shouldn’t care, but i do.
