Why did she settle for less?

Well… I dont really know if the topic title is the correct question. But let me explain:

She was 21, I was 30…
We had been together for about 6-7 months or so. We lived about an hour (by car) apart. We had an amazing relationship, and I was searching for a job at her city and we talked alot about moving in together. We really enjoyed planning our future home together. :slight_smile:
The breakup really came out of the blue. There wasn’t any warning signs at all. She just started a new school, and suddenly 3 days later she had lost all feelings for me, and texted me it was over… :frowning:

An entire year passed. I tried to move on as good as I could. During this year, from time to time she would start to like all my posts on social medias, and ask to hang out. But when I agreed she went cold and distant again. As you can imagine this was very hard on me. So after that 1 year I decided to completely block her of social medias, and whenever I saw her in real life I just ignored her. (for my own good, no mindgames)

Well… Believe it or not, but now another 2 years has passed. I am happy with my life and I am moving on. I have had several other girls. Some serious, some not so serious. :slight_smile:
But this story with my ex keeps nagging me. Maybe because I never really got any closure? Maybe because she was the only girl I ever imagined marrying.

I know she has now found a new boyfriend. They meet at a party. 1 month later they were official BF/GF. 3 months later: she is now moving across the country to live with him… (This is fast, right?)

To be honest I have accepted the fact that I lost her. But I did hope she would find some sort of a David Beckham lookalike :wink: Someone who would be a big upgrade from me. Because then I could say “She wanted something better, and she found it. The better man won”

But this…?
He looks are 2/10
He is an unemployed party-animal.
A complete looser…

Why did she downgrade so much?
Why does it make me feel worse again?

You shouldn’t compare looks as a standard. Compatibility is much more important! Get on with your life and stop dwelling on her.
