That's true. Multiple break ups are a sign that someone is a huge a**hole and will never ever change. No matter how times I hoped that he would.I'm sure it's painful. Just know that you broke up with him, multiple times it seems, and it was the right choice. Be thankful that you are not tied to him for generations. She can't ever just walk away.
I wholeheartedly cosign with this post.The best advice I can give is to.... Keep it real. Don't reflect on what 'could have been' focus on what was. If he was a Mutha***** when you all were together ( thus breaking up, repeatedly as someone else typed) then he still is a MF. I tried to think back to when I had a similar experience but I haven't had many. When a relationship is over for me... Trust me there is a reason. I tell myself then ...that he will not change & that this is who he is and then I move on. I don't immediately jump into another relationship until I am sure I got the lesson from the last. Reminisce about the times when he was an A**hole. The reason you all broke up. When/if he cheated. He is still the same person. The problems you once had....are now hers. When the time is right, you will meet your Prince. And.... He will not knock you up without a ring.

We broke up for good in July. He announced on Christmas Eve that he got his new girlfriend pregnant. I thought I was over him and moved on already. I guess I wasn't. This hit me hard. I knew it was over, that we've both moved on. I've been with other men since him. I thought I accepted it but why am I in so much pain? I've been depressed and crying since then. I'm bouncing all over the grief cycle. I'm grieving the truth that it's really over and permanently. I'm grieving what will never be. I'm grieving the fact that we'll never share a first pregnancy together and all that comes with it. I'm grieving lost hope and all the dreams he took with him. I'm sorry y'all. I need time to deal with this.
I didn't look at it that wayAwww....sisterly love wrapped up in assholessness xoxo
Thank you BelleSending you a big hug.
Omg I'm there now. At the anger stage. I feel horrible for wishing ill on them and an innocent child yet here I am. I know it's the anger talking. I feel like it's gonna take all of the personal growth I've done over the years to get through this. Like I'll never love again. Right now I'm ready to crawl into a hole and never come out. Like I wanna be alone forever. Maybe I'm being too dramatic.
Thank you. I will wallow in self pity for one more day and then I'll start living again. I'm out of wine and almost out of ice cream. Damn...You're not being dramatic, you're being human. Go ahead and crawl into a hole, just give yourself a time limit in staying there! It will take effort to move forward but you can do it!
He hurt you. Go ahead and get in your feelings girl! And know that eventually they will change. One day soon the hurt will only be a distant memory and you will be able to take real joy in delegating him to the past.
Thank you for the laugh. Don't give my petty self anymore ideas pleaseHugs! I know how you feel. I'm married and moved on from my ex years ago. That still didn't stop from me from taking screenshots of his newborn baby and laughing at her with my bestie. God ain't done with me yet.
Thank you to all of you. It's times like this that make me grateful that I have the sisterhood here supporting me. I gotta remember that I'm not alone. I can make it through anything as I long as I have supportive friends like you all here to help me. Thank you.
This will pass. Just keep focusing on you . We are here for you.
It's hard to avoid him completely because he's a family friend. Our parents are friends and he's best friends with my brother and close to my sister too. Yes it's a mess. I've asked them before to please stop updating me about what my ex is up to and they have for the most part. I guess since this was huge news they couldn't help themselves. I am gonna take social media break for a few months though. I can't handle it right now.I think this is one of the biggest reasons why when a relationship is over, I cut off ALL contact with exes. I block numbers, delete all traces of our relationship from my home and social media before blocking them there too and I ask family and friends to please spare me on their life updates. It's not that you want them back but their happiness can be a slap in the face when they dogged you out so bad.
Allow yourself to be angry but do not stay there too long.
I'm not shame I did this before tooHugs! I know how you feel. I'm married and moved on from my ex years ago. That still didn't stop from me from taking screenshots of his newborn baby and laughing at her with my bestie. God ain't done with me yet.

Exactly. It's like a slap in the face to me. 5 freaking months!!
For their child's sake I hope this experience matures him and forces him to leave his childish ways behind.
That's why we broke up so many times. I got tired of the mind games and dealing with his insecure behind. I honestly don't know if he cheated in the past. Oh well that negro is now blocked permanently! I should've ignored my friends when they told me to unblock him the first time. I'll trust my instincts from now on.it's less because she must be a few months already. That alone is infuriating and would make me wonder how long she's been around. I don't like the fact that it seems like he's trying to make you jealous. He's playing games and sounds quite insecure.
I finally told one of my friends. She gave me conflicting advice. At first she said what you all said: "he's an a**hole. Good riddance!" But later on she told me that if he comes back I should hear him out, that he made a mistake and to forgive him in the future. I was like:

Hell naw! I will forgive him eventually but I'm not going back to him. No thanks
Agreed
Absolutely not. You can forgive him without his involvement.
I wish you nothing but the best! I used the block + binge watching method after a breakup and funnel cake . You deserve so much better . BTW, Underground is good to get into. Season 2 is around the corner.That's why we broke up so many times. I got tired of the mind games and dealing with his insecure behind. I honestly don't know if he cheated in the past.
