Moved on

It hasn’t even been 3 weeks since we split and his denials, but he has a new girlfriend already and I’m told she’s meeting his family this weekend. I am so upset. How did he move on so quickly? I don’t know how much more hurt and pain I can handle.

Re: Moved on

Still trying to pretend he's straight then? He moved on quickly because he's desperate to stay in the closet RW.
I understand that this is so very hard, so painful just now. But you are better off out, that poor new girl has to deal with all this come - you can be sure he isn't just suddenly straight, honest and committed!

Re: Moved on

It could all just be lies to throw you off-balance for the holidays.  Put NOTHING beneath them.

Hearing that someone has moved on is difficult - especially so soon after your split.  But try to switch your thinking to "I don't want that horse's ass anyway - why should I care who else wants him if I don't want him anyway???"

I know it's more than that.  You aren't viewing this as you not wanting him.  This is making you feel like he doesn't want YOU.  And now he's proving it by moving quickly on to someone else.  But we've all seen movies where this happens and it doesn't mean they're in love, or that they don't/never loved you.  It doesn't mean anything, really.  If he's looking to remain firmly in the closet, he'll need to quickly establish another woman in his life.  And what better way to prove that he's got a woman than by bringing her around to the people he's trying to delude?

It's all a big game to them.  Try to tell yourself that you're just glad not to be on his casino any longer.  He can play whomever he wants in his own place - the dice are fake, the house always wins.  Be glad you got out of that place before it spelled your ruin.  It's someone else's issue now.

Re: Moved on

I guess he’s using her to pretend to be straight. I was blindsided. Never thought he’d move on so quickly and introduce her to his family. I don’t want him back. I know these are games he’s playing. It still hurts.

Re: Moved on

He hasn't moved on RW, it's a game. You can move on and be happy though, either alone or with someone new, because you can love and you are honest. The best is yet to come.

Re: Moved on

I’m Second guessing myself, but i have the proof in hand. This is all just so surreal. He told a mutual friend that i am accusing him of disgusting things, but he sure wouldn’t tell him what. Ugh.

Re: Moved on

Keep that proof, look at it when you doubt yourself, it’s real! I have screenshots and old messages with blatant lies that I use to ground myself from time to time.

He’s messed with your reality, takes some doing that does!

Re: Moved on

That’s what I do. I keep opening those pictures of the emails and telling myself that that is reality.
