Hi all!
I just have this persistent thought in my head that I just wanted to get out there. My ex and I broke up 6 months ago and now I find him dating someone else. She's a lot younger than me and him..about 6 yrs younger than him and 5 yrs younger than me. She seems to like partying and drinking, and he never touches alcohol. But they seem to have the same sense of humour and she's very pretty. Anyway, I have this feeling that he's treating this new gf a lot better than he treated me. He seems to put up a "couple" pic on his facebook, and introduced her to his family. That makes a part of me very sad. But then I remind myself of who my ex really was to me. He was self-centred, and never liked to make me feel special. He hated relationship talks and always seemed to avoid any real conversation. He was rare on the physical affection and even more on verbal affection. He was superficial and narcisstic. He only enjoyed doing things he liked, and rarely tried to share my interests. And there's so much more to the list.
I will NEVER EVER think about trying to get him back. But, out of curiousity and learning experience, do you think he has changed for his new gf? Do you think he likes to make her feel special and loves to hug and kiss her? Are people basically who they are, or do they alter significantly between relationships depending on their partner? Are some girls ok with being treated this way and actually happy with it? Is he really capable of truly loving someone, or is he too much in love with himself to do that?
I donno, but these thoughts have been bothering me and interfering with my work sometimes. Thought if I write it down here and hear some opnions, I will know how to let these thoughts go once and for all Thanks!
-Hope
