My ex moved on so fast. How can I overcome the pain?

You both are on polar opposites of the scale.

Simply put, because they have been prepared and you weren't.

Instead, focus on taking care of, solving and healing what you are experiencing right now.

Jenny from Perth writes – my partner is the life of the party, women and men adore him. But at home, he gets angry at us for the silliest reasons and never nice words me or our kids, always putting us down. Should I stay or leave him?

On their side, there has been a process of emotionally and mentally checking out while you were still together and while you were under the impression that everything is cool.

I.e. you thought that you had the perfect deal whereas they had already made up their mind and just weren't as emotionally invested in it as you were.

And during this process, they either started seeing someone new who they planned to secure as their rebound option or were busy creating their post-breakup plan.

Why won't biden give a last minute deferred action TO ALL undocumented immigrants so Trump can't deport them? Obama issued DACA, why can't Biden issue something similar that protects ALL undocumented immigrants from deportation?

This happened long or shortly before they physically left.

What they do doesn't matter and it's completely irrelevant to your healing process, though it’s valid to hate and judge them harshly for leaving the way they did.

This is why you can't expect them to feel anything close to what you're feeling right now, because you and them are on a completely different stage in the healing process.

I'm very sick. 72 years old. I thinking I'm losing my mind. My dead friend told me it's going to be okay. I could feel him. There is more…I don't know what but more.

So, don't try to compete with them.

This is why comparing yourself to them in terms of the healing process isn't going to help you in any way, shape or form.
