Breaking up with an ex is never easy. Picking yourself up and moving on with your dating life can be tough. You're convinced that you will never find anyone who made your heart skip a beat like he did (trust me you will). So after many weeks or in most cases months of crying your eyes out over this person who hurt you so deeply, you see light at the end of the tunnel.
Life goes on, and now you're ready to join the masses. That is until you do something incredibly stupid that makes all the progress you made a waste. You look him up on Facebook! You know you shouldn't but part of you is just a little interested to know if he's dating, and if so with who. His picture pops up, and now you're face to face with reality. Your heart races and you feel dizzy.
For a split second you tell yourself this is crazy, but logic and reason fly out the window. Then you get the answer you're looking for. You scroll down and see the picture of him and his new girlfriend. You get a knot in your stomach as you stare at the two of them looking very much in love. A wave of sadness comes over you and you realize that this was a huge mistake.
Now you sit there staring at a blank screen. He's moved on, you tell yourself. Saying those words to yourself brings tears to your eyes, even after all this time. It has been almost a year since I had my heart shattered by someone who was my everything (at the time). The reason I wrote this blog is to say to women that I know it's hard, but if you make the effort you move on, you have to be truly committed to it.
He's moved on and so should you.

I know exactly what you are talking about shro..
The last guy I seriously dated before this one had serious possession issues. I had to move back to Milwaukee from DC get away from him. I did go back every once and awhile to check out his blog.. after the move to discover the woman he met right after me he married, which didn't surprise me at all since that is exactly what he was looking for.
Sometimes break-ups do happen for the better, and you just have to look on the bright side that there is someone waiting, you just have to have a little patience.

Your post hits home, it just happened to me. I think it's indicative of the technological shifts our dating/relational worlds are going through. Damn Facebook and MySpace because though they keep us connected, they also keep us connected. I have seen the new girlfriend in the life of a man I recently dated and instantly move to questions like "how is she different than I am?" "What is it about her that is better than me?" and like you, have had to come to grips with the fact that she is there and I am not for good reasons...Both because he seems thrilled to be with her and because I am no free to date someone who will be thrilled to be with me.
I often don't agree with many of your blogs, either...but you detailed an event many people have been through in this writing. Well done. Ah for the days of Dorothy Parker simply awaiting a phone call...

I find that funny coming from someone who doesn't know me at all. Listen, I know that I'm not well liked on this site. It's something that I have to deal with, but I'll be damned if I'm going to apologize for be myself.
