The rebound…
My ex and I were together on and off from 19-23. A lot of bullshit went on during this time as I was in college pre-med and he was in the military. Once he came back from boot camp, he started to be different over time and just more mean until it progressed into lying and shit. I would always be the one to break up with him, but I begged him to act right and he had so many chances. I feel like he did try in ways but it was very materialistic stuff.
I wanted him to stop lying but he felt like apologizing to me was taking me to fancy dinners and taking me out. We were really close but the breaking point was finding out he had been gaslighting me for years on end and seeing other girls. My friend found him on hinge (I was never the type to go through phones) and he fucked 8 bitches when we were exclusive. My dad also like almost died during this time period too and he knew I was dealing with a hard class load and this.
Anyways, fast forward August 2025, a few months after my college graduation I decided to ghost him practically after starting an argument. I never talked to him again but texted him in March 2026 just saying I hope he was safe. This week I see that he removed my spam account and he put his rebound in his insta bio (he would never normally do this and think it’s cringe). They started dating December 2025……
She looks nothing like me and seems to have no goals or ambitions and looks trashy. He always said I was getting fat (I was 5’5 and 130) and she’s larger than me…. He also made fun of me for being a 5th year college student yet she doesn’t go to college. I always felt never good enough. He told me he was super insecure that he didn’t go to college and I did. I just don’t understand why her?? The girls he was even cheating on me with were pretty but this rebound is not. I feel bad saying she’s ugly because I stalked her TikTok and she seems nice but she’s already sending him care packages on deployment and saying “I love you” a month after dating…..
