Hi everyone, for some context I broke up with my ex 3 months ago due to a very toxic relationship that had lasted for a while longer than it needed it to do so. I believed that we needed time and space to grow and be a better version of ourselves in order to work out our relationship.

After 2 months of NC, I decided to reach back to her and see how she was doing. TL;DR on this, she said she still loves me and changed for me, but she met another guy 3 weeks ago and now couldn't choose me because she feels like it's "unfair" for that guy if she chooses to come back to me.

The guy had connections and money. She knew her family would like the guy, and used that as another reason of her choosing him over me. She would show me pictures of them together and being on a call, and worse, them teasing each other s*xually.

I cannot fathom the thought of her giving in to another guy, it hurts, especially after what we've been through - or what I've been through to make it work. I know it's my fault for initially letting go, but how do I cope with this pain?

This happened a week ago. I'm doing a lot better honestly these past few days thanks to my friends, just relapsing that's why I'm venting out here. Hope you guys have a great day ahead, much love!
