When your partner dumps you for someone else, your ego is one of the biggest factors that keeps you from moving.

Of course we still have memories and feelings for them but most people get stuck on the new person in their life. They’ll get stuck on what that person has that they don’t have. “Are they taller, have more money, better looking, makes love better,” and so on. Remember this, although your ex has moved on, that doesn’t mean that person is “better” than you in any way. They might have attributes that your ex likes better than you, but I guarantee there are attributes that you have that their new partner doesn’t have. Your ex will compare. That doesn’t mean that they’ll come back to you but don’t dwell on your exes new partner and start thinking you’re unworthy. You’re still special and someone will appreciate all things you bring to the table. Move on and find someone who will appreciate everything you have to offer.
