I’m just looking for some advice. I have a new partner and I genuinely feel she is the person I want to move forward in life with.
My ex left me for a drug dealer after she found out she wasn’t pregnant last year following what seemed to be a very loving and committed relationship but has constantly been in and out of contact saying she made a mistake and we are soulmates etc but when it came to trying again, there was always an excuse why we couldn’t (she has bipolar so maybe I use that as an excuse not to be angry).
The last time she contacted me again but this time showed much more intent on making things work, sending quotes on forgiving and doing things right etc. we met and had a night of regret together and after agreed it was a mistake. My sense of pride took a hit as I gave this person everything, took on all her issues and in the end I wasn’t enough to her.
I am with my new partner since and the ex decides to create another email and try this cycle again. I of course did not entertain it and remained loyal to this amazing woman however the pride raises its head and I still allow her to have an impact on my mental state and question if I will be good enough for this even better person now. (I am not going to be childish, my ex is insanely beautiful on the outside and is almost of influencer status on social media with thousands of men trying to contact her)
I suppose I just would like to know, does anyone have any experience on an ex making them feel inferior and how to not let it affect their new relationships and can they share their advice/knowledge? My question isn’t about the current partner as I know she is what I want but rather how to let my ex’s opinion of me go.
