I went through the most awful breakup last year after my long term partner ended the relationship abruptly. We had plans to move across the country but he decided to move back to his hometown. He packed up his stuff while I was away at work and left without a word and ended things with me over a text. (I know, pretty awful) I decided to move across the country alone last spring. It was rough the first 3 months being in a new place and then thousands of miles away from my family and friends but one day in June I realized the breakup wasn’t as heavy on my heart anymore and I wasn’t sad anymore. I have dedicated myself to my studies and will be graduating next month from my higher degree program and I’m extremely proud of myself for completing this goal I’ve had for myself for years. 2 weeks ago, I found out my ex had a baby from snooping on Facebook. I definitely did this to myself lol. I think they grew up together in their small town and maybe dated in middle school and kept in touch on social media? We have been broken up for less than a year as of today and to know while I spent the first 3 months in a deep spiraling depression hole, he wasn’t hurting at all. It sucks knowing he moved on so quickly and literally started a family with someone new in less than a year. I don’t have the negative emotions as I did last year when we initially broke up and I can say I’m over him but for some reason, this hurts me. When I initially found out, my heart was racing and I called my best friend crying. After I got those emotions out, I thought I’d be less upset but I’m still upset.

Has anybody been in a similar situation? I know I’m in a better place emotionally and everything fell into place and I have so many things to look forward to like moving into my dream home and starting my new position with my higher degree in June so why can’t I shake this off?
