When the Ex Moves In With A New Lover

You know, it doesn’t matter how much you think you’ve moved on from a past relationship. When someone who swore their undying love to you moves in with someone else, your heart is going to hurt and your mind is going to start racing all over again.

The first thing to do is breathe deeply. Take a minute and you’ll soon realise that this isn’t really such a shock. After all, you didn’t really think they were going to spend the rest of their lives pining after you, did you? (Well, ok, maybe you secretly hoped they would )

But now that it’s happened you have to deal with it. As hard as you might think this is going to be, it’s nowhere near as hard as dealing with the breakup in the first place. And you’ve survived that already. So keep reminding yourself of that.

Breakups are hard. Always have been and always will be. But whether we like it or not, the world keeps turning and as the days pass, we learn to cope and live our lives a little better each day.

If you’re still in love with your ex and haven’t moved on yourself, then the news of them taking such a huge step will be doubly hard to hear. No matter how hard it is, DO NOT let that green eyed monster fool you into letting the ex (or anyone else) know how you feel.

For one thing they’re not going to listen to you.

For another, they’ll see it as you being petty and bitter.

And if you’re hoping that it’ll blow over and you might still end up getting back together, then the last thing you want is for them to see you in a  bad light.

Cry if you must. A lost love is a lost love after all. Nobody is saying you have to be happy about this. But if you really love them, you’ll be more bothered about their happiness than your own. Let them move in with their new love, and you move on with your life.
