After months of NC, I just discovered nex is now with someone I never suspected n it’s triggered a wave of betrayal I never saw coming.

For the past several months, I’ve been on a committed healing journey... maintaining strict NC, and genuinely attempting to move forward..for the most part, I was doing okay. Not perfect, but steady. Until today...so I received a follow request from a girl nex used to follow back when we were together. At the time, I never questioned their connection I genuinely believed they were either family or long-time friends. He never spoke about her, and I never saw any reason to be suspicious.

Out of instinct, I looked into it further. To my surprise (and pain), I discovered they’re now seemingly together. While there’s no public declaration yet, their interactions and online presence leave little room for doubt. They're clearly close. Strangely, the same girl who sent the request quickly removed it when I didn’t respond within a day.. and today i dug deeper to find out he's just following her.

And now, I feel like I’ve been emotionally thrown back to square one. All the progress I made suddenly feels fragile. I can’t help but ask myself: Was I merely a placeholder? Was there emotional overlap I didn’t know about? Was I deceived while being fully trusting??? What’s most painful is that I never once questioned him.. never doubted his honesty or intentions when it came to her. She was never in the picture or in my mind,..and now I’m left with this hollow, gut-wrenching feeling of betrayal.
