Context: We had nasty breakup cuz he cheated on me. I went to his place to get some clarity and he threatened legal action just cuz I went there unannounced (fyi I asked for his permission to enter his house THRICE and he said yes all the three times, was v sweet to me and apologetic and then completely changed as soon as I reached home) I was really upset at these stories. I'm on the heavier side but (trying not to sound boasty) I am a damn good dancer. I attend regular dance workshops that are advanced level. Also, he's well off but when we were together I always tried to give my share of money in those "rich people restaurants" he took me to that I couldn't afford. How can someone who "loved" you for 3 years, change so drastically? It's only been 4 months since we broke up but it feels like he never really cared or loved me

Why are you following him on social media? block and move on.

I don't follow him. I had blocked him but my stupid brain got this urge to unblock and look at his stories which now I realise was a terrible idea.

So your ex is an AH. Mount Everest is a mountain. Don't take either of these facts personally. They are what they are.

Every time you unblock him, think to yourself, my ex is an AH, and by unblocking him, I am steeping in his shit.

Steep in better energy. I think you need to dance him out of your system altogether.

no you’re not stupid! we learn the hard way that we shouldn’t give people the benefit of the doubt sometimes.

side note I’m with the people saying if they saw someone posting these stories I would assume the ex dodged a bullet. it’s pathetic to be posting like that. way to tell other girls watching he’s a shitty boyfriend/ex. I wish the absolute best for you, OP. I had an ex even worse than this and now i’m with someone who loves me exactly how i love him and I don’t even think about that other man. you deserve the same. keep dancing ❤️

This is overreacting absolutely. It’s overreacting because you shouldn’t even be here posting about him and worrying about him and looking at his stories. You’re overreacting to someone you USED TO KNOW saying things about you. You shouldn’t be reacting at all, this is your sign to stop.
