How do I deal with seeing my ex with someone new?
Relationships & Divorce
Seeing your ex with someone new is painful but normal; limit exposure, focus on your own healing, and remember that their happiness doesn't diminish yours.
Seeing your ex with someone new can feel like a punch to the gut, even if you're the one who ended the relationship. This pain is normal and doesn't mean you want them back - it's often more about feeling replaced or seeing them move on before you have. Limit your exposure by unfollowing them on social media and avoiding places you might see them. Focus on your own healing and remember that their happiness doesn't take away from your worth or your future possibilities.
