24 people share how they reacted to the moment they learned their ex was dating someone new

Breakups are one of the toughest shared common experiences we all go through as humans. Regardless of whether you were the dumper or the dumpee, there is real no good place to be in a breakup. Despite how things may have ended, you wanted to be together in the first place so there will always be a little stab of pain when you see that your ex has moved on and seeing someone new. (Who are we kidding — usually a big stab of pain!) It doesn’t matter if you want to be with your ex or not, seeing them with someone new before you’re ready to see that will always be a little weird and tough. The reactions range from being mad, sad, confused, and indifferent (just like having an ex in the first place!)

So commiserate and read these real confessions from people who have just learned their ex has met someone new, because we’ve all been there!
