7 Steps To Take When You Meet Your Ex With His New Partner

And How To Survive

Despite all your efforts to be strong and overcome the end of a love affair, things can change in a minute if you happen to meet your ex with his new girlfriend.

You will go from feeling sad and depressed about yourself and your future to more distressing emotions, which are painful and difficult to handle. Even if you were the one to break up and you are not considering going back together, watching your ex have a new life with another person is heartbreaking.

I have been through this situation, and the most important and surprising thing I must admit is that I survived. If you are experiencing the same sorrow, just remember that in time you will forget about those moments, and you will survive, too.

That evening I was working in a village far from home, and I still had to drive for almost an hour, so I decided to stop in a bar for a coffee. It was my last effort before going home. I had a lot of negative stories running in my mind, which always happens when I am tired. I was blaming myself for one mistake I made at work, and for not calling the doctor to make an appointment. I needed a relaxing evening, a shower, and my bed.

When I entered the bar, I felt a strange atmosphere in the room. My ex-boyfriend was sitting at a little table in a corner, and his new girlfriend was standing by his side. That’s when I met her for the first time.

As a woman, I immediately noticed was that she was very beautiful, I must admit much more attractive than me. She was charming. I could understand why he fell madly in love with her, and I suddenly remembered all the comments I had from our common friends about her stunning beauty.

Besides it, she was quite sexy, she was wearing a green silk dress with a neckline, and high heel shoes. She was perfect: I hated her. I stopped nurturing those negative feelings towards myself and entered a new emotional state full of uncontrollable emotions. I was so upset I couldn’t do anything, I just said “Hi”, had my drink, and left the bar in a hurry. I didn’t want to show my feelings. I am happy I reacted this way.

These are some of the upsetting emotions I felt from that evening on, for many weeks or even months:

Jealousy

I was jealous of a man who made me suffer for many years. There were days when I thought I was almost free from him and from our relationship, but meeting them made me mad. I felt I wanted him back, or at least I didn’t want him to be with her.

Abandonment

I felt left behind. If he was dating a new girlfriend, he must have forgotten about me and about our love. I felt replaced and disregarded.

Anger

How could he do that to me? I thought we had some secret agreement about not letting anyone enter our life even after the breakup, which of course was not true.

Regret

I started thinking of all his positive aspects and forgot about all our negative moments. I thought I would never find someone that could make me feel that way. I missed him and regretted our past times together.

Guilt and self-pity

I blamed myself, abandoned because I was not a good or beautiful or suitable girlfriend for that wonderful man.

Denial

I tried to tell myself that he didn’t really love her and that he just needed someone comforting while he was facing our breakup. Maybe he just felt lonely or couldn’t resist her. It was just about sex, I told myself.

Those were devastating emotions that seemed never-ending, day and night. Yet, I found out that some actions helped me recover faster from that shock and helped me find a way out to a new life.

Here are some of the solutions that worked for me:

1.Don’t blame yourself

Acknowledge and accept your feelings. They will change if you give them some time.

2.Remind yourself what went wrong

You might be unhappy now, but you were probably unhappy before the breakup occurred.

3.Friends, shopping, and hobbies

Focus your energy on something productive. Maybe you can revisit an old hobby, or try something new that gives a sense of excitement. Change your hairstyle, visit an old friend, read books, travel.

Ask yourself: what makes me happy? Rediscover who you are as an independent person. Invest in your personal growth by doing something you love. At the time of the breakup, I couldn’t remember who I was and what I liked, since I was so busy thinking about him.

4.Believe in yourself

Rebuild your self-confidence and self-esteem. I know it’s very difficult.

5. Do not act following those emotions

Those complicated feelings give us an urge to want to talk to our ex, criticize him and his new girlfriend, seek revenge. These words might give you temporary relief but they definitely won’t help you, and maybe they will push him further away from you.

6. Limit social media

Stop looking for the pictures of the new happy couple on social media. It keeps you thinking about their life, or what you assume about it, and not about yours.

7. Do not think about getting him back

Limit the contacts you have with your ex-boyfriend, just to protect yourself from difficult emotions. Calling him more often will not change his decision.

Takeaways

I know that right now you are heartbroken and that it’s hard to understand how someone you loved and told you he will love you forever, can be in a new relationship.

Yet, just because your ex-boyfriend has a new partner does not mean that he has forgotten you or that he doesn’t think about you. You shared many beautiful moments and memories and you were an important part of each other’s growth for a long time.

One day, he will start noticing you again, especially if you make a real effort to move forward. He will find himself thinking: “Did she forget about me?”. So, if you redirect your energy towards yourself, not only are you creating positive change within you, but you can also get in contact with him again, and have a different kind of relationship.

Just take things slowly and face your emotions. If you focus on healing from the breakup, you will grow and come out as a new and improved person. One day you will hope the two of them are happy together and you will be very happy he never came back to you. You will survive.

At least, that’s what happened to me.
