Even after you call it quits, it can be weird when your ex dates someone exactly like you. It’s even more confusing when your ex’s new boo is the complete opposite of you.
Is this the kind of person your partner wanted to be with the whole time?
Bring on the self-doubt and self-criticism.
And that’s the problem.
Take it from a psychotherapist Bustle spoke with.
She says all of this worrying can give you an answer, even if it’s the wrong one.
Your ex is most likely dating your opposite for a simple reason; it’s a reflection of who they are now – not who you were then.
Meaning, a bunch of factors influence attraction like the stage of life they’re at when they meet someone.
They might not have a type at all, so don’t sweat it.
If you need answers, try and have the closure talk with your ex about their new flame and how they’re different than you.
If that’s not going to fly, all you need to know is that your ex’s new partner has nothing to do with you or what you had together.
It can be totally random.
A therapeutic relationship coach tells Bustle the new relationship is just a way for your ex to discover a new side of themselves.
There is some truth to the old saying, “opposites attract.”
That goes for you, too.
If you spend time stalking their new flame, do the opposite!
Block your ex on social media and focus on what makes you unique.
