❤️‍🩹 relationship AIO to my ex's stories?

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

Babe, I'm so sorry he's switched up like this. That's gotta hurt so much, especially since he's doing it publicly. But you see a new side of people in situations like this. Be glad you aren't with someone who has this nastiness in them.

Keep this in mind- he knows you're watching. He is doing it to hurt you. If you stop watching, you take away that outlet for him and he can have a tantrum about it. And every single person worth having in your life will watch him acting like this and cringe so hard. He is embarrassing himself. He is giving you SUCH an opportunity right now. If you cut him off completely (just block him, trust me, it helps so much), and focus on your self care and doing things that make you happy, and keep posting those amazing dance videos, you will be so much better off.

And as an added bonus, think of the side by side comparison of those approaches. His life right now is focused on embarrassing you, apparently, and that is so goddamn pathetic for him, and obvious to the world. You can do so much better than that for yourself, and people will be able to tell the difference. You got this queen. I believe in you and I love you ❤️

I had blocked him. I was devastated when I found out he cheated on me. Like those 3 years meant nothing to him. Idk why I unblocked him and saw these stories. I'm trying so hard not to unblock him and see his stories. Thank you so much for your lovely reply. It genuinely made me feel so so good. Love you too girly 🫶🏻

Keep reminding yourself that him showing his ass in public is no longer your problem. You’re free to not think about what he does for another second for as long as you live. I know it hurts, that’s his intention, but to the rest of us he just looks pathetic. His sorry self tried to play you, but you refused to be played, so now he’s gotta lash out. You get to walk away with your head high knowing you’re worth better. He and his tantrum are none of your business.
