What feelings and emotions do you go through when your ex gets engaged

You may have gone through it, or you may not have experienced it yet. But learning that your ex is moving on with his or her life with someone else is no walk in the park.

These feelings are completely normal, and you will definitely go through them.

1. shock

Haha, there’s no way… Haha, let me double check it. It did not happen. Yes. Yes it did. And you certainly didn’t think it was going to happen in front of you.

You call your mom, you call your grandma, you call all your friends. Everyone should know. Everyone should know that your ex is getting engaged and will either surprise you or confirm that it is a true event.

2. Anger

You can feel your body getting hot while your eyes just stare at the picture of him and his new fiancé. Oh, they look so happy. Well, isn’t it great? I’m just happy that everything went so well in her life,

You grab some harmless snacks and start aggressively eating emotionally. We suggest going for a walk instead.

3. Jealousy

Your hand going deep into the chip bag, and you’re done. Once you reach this stage and you realize that your ex is tying the knot before you, you just have to let him/her get over you.

That being said, don’t get stuck to the point where you’re stalking them outside of their work, begging for a second chance.

But naturally, your thoughts are similar to these: They are not compatible with each other. You can see it in their eyes, they’re not really in love. Enjoy paying $50,000 for a marriage that won’t last more than a year. We were a better looking couple.

4. Defeat

Your feelings change, causing your ex’s preoccupation to turn into competition. How could they have found someone before me? The whole purpose of our break,On top of that, I had to move on and find someone amazing, while they spend the rest of their lives being sad over our break-up.

They weren’t such good partners either. I don’t understand how they find someone who wants to be with them. I’m here, alone, and now suffering from stress-sweats. No one likes stress sweat.

5. Frustration

This is when you take out your Rolodex. The idea that you will never find anyone and will inevitably die alone has never been more powerful. Should I reopen my PlentyOffish account? Tinder isn’t too bad, but wait… maybe eHarmony is better? This is more for serious players.

Fight this state of despair when you find out that your ex is engaged. Don’t call the person you had a date with. Don’t start thinking about potential people who weren’t right for you to begin with.

6. Nostalgia

yes they made you watch rocky Over and over again, and they had a lot of annoying habits that you hated, but what if they were the same habits?

You used to hug and look at the stars on clear nights. And there was that time when both of you would wake up at 4 in the morning and ride your bike to the beach with a bottle of champagne.

7. Regret

Ah, then nostalgia makes something beautiful. Remember his habit of not showering after basketball practice? Remember when you were sick and they didn’t call? Yes you do.

Remember those moments, because these were the moments that made you doubt your relationship with them. Her new fiancé will have to sit around the stench and put up with his lack of thoughtfulness.

8. Entertainment

While sweet memories always bring a smile to your face, remember your ex’s annoying habits and the fact that they will have that “till death do us part” feeling when they tie the knot with their fiancé.

hi god,That poor fiance will have to live with her for the rest of her life. They will have to live with their meanness and dirty underwear until they die. You won’t last even a year!

9. relief

Well, you dodged the bullet. Wipe the sweat of worry from your forehead because the worst is over.

10. Acceptance

Keep browsing those “til the wedding” countdown photos, sit back, relax and enjoy the view. Someone you once loved so much is happy and about to be reunited with the right person.

After fights, terrible breakups and a painful healing phase, their lives have turned around and they are now extremely happy. Just be happy for them and believe that one day you will be equally happy.

Things to keep in mind when your ex is getting married

So, how do you properly get to the final stage of acceptance when your life is crashing down around you because your ex is now engaged and soon to be married?

Well, here are some things to keep in mind when learning how to deal with big news.

1. It’s okay to be upset

You were once the love of their life, so it’s okay if you still have some semblance of feeling for your ex. A simple tug on your heartstrings is normal because at some point you imagined walking down the aisle with this person.

If you still aren’t over your ex, it’s okay to be jealous or even sad. This shows that the feeling is still there. But one day you will have to face the fact that you and your ex are not getting along well.

2. Greet your ex if you are still in a conversation situation

Because of all the breakups, neither of you pretend that the other one doesn’t exist. Amicable separations are becoming increasingly common.

If you’re friends on Facebook or you’re still in touch, drop them a line. Ask your ex how they are doing and offer compliments. Once your ex knows that you are really ready for engagement, a burden can be lifted off his/her chest.

3. Talk to your close friends about it

It works even better if the people you talk to about the upcoming wedding are also acquaintances of your ex-partner. If you feel angry or jealous, let it out.

4. Set boundaries with your mutual friends

Whether you choose to talk about your situation with your close friends or not, you need to set boundaries on this topic with the people in your life.

Such boundaries include whether it is okay to talk about your ex’s engagement and what certain points are or are not appropriate to talk about.

5. Avoid negative comments

If you still have feelings for your ex, the temptation to make negative comments about their engagement is undoubtedly bothering you. But whatever the case, badmouthing your ex-boyfriend’s new love will only make you look bitter and angry.

If you feel that you are too superior to your ex-husband’s future spouse, keep it to yourself. You don’t want to invite drama if the newlyweds suddenly discover that you’ve been talking behind their backs.

6. Stop Social Media Stalking

Give it a few months, plus an extra month for the wedding photos to come out. And then you can go back to following your former partner, that is, if you are still able to remember.

By the time they’re showing you ultrasound pictures of your baby, you should have a better understanding of the issue… hopefully.

7. There is no need to mention this to your current partner

You may share your complaints with your friends, but your partner has a completely different story. Bringing it up emotionally with your partner may make them feel insecure.

After all, it sounds like you’re still affected by any news related to your ex. Our advice is to keep it on the down low for a while, or just leave it be and let it go completely.

8. Don’t try to imagine their wedding

First, you can start thinking about where tthat’s the wedding venueWhat will the bride wear, and what could be its motif? And then, you start thinking about how you’ll do itYou don’t want to go that route.

You don’t want to plan a fantasy wedding for a long-time ex who isn’t even engaged to you. Crush the desire and distract yourself with anything that has anything remotely to do with weddings.

9. Don’t compare yourself

Marriage is not a caste. It is also not a valid measure of success or happiness. Do you have any idea how many people are still honestly not ready for marriage?

Everyone wants to get married at different times in their lives, and some people don’t even want to commit! When your ex-husband gets married, try not to compare yourself to him.

10. Try to remember why things didn’t work out between you

You may have done this before when you were still getting over your ex. But with your ex getting engaged, you might want to revisit those moments. There is a legitimate and non-painful reason why you are not the person to say “I do” to your ex.

Even if he is too busy with other things, their constant nagging, or their habit of looking at other PeopleKeep these reasons in your mind.

11. Surround yourself with people who love you and keep you busy

It’s easy to spiral when you get big news from a person you once shared love with.

Even if you don’t feel the same way about them anymore, it still brings up old memories and can make you feel out of control. That’s why it’s so important to surround yourself with caring, loving people who can keep your focus on better things.

12. Try to be genuinely happy for your ex

It will be easier if you managed to be friends after the breakup. Of course, you want your friend to be happy!

What kind of friend would you be if you didn’t have friends? On the other hand, if you still wish they chose you, try to understand that no amount of wishing can change the fact that your ex is getting married.

If you truly, selflessly love your ex, you would want them to still be happy, right? Even if you are not the one they would be happy with. This may seem like a very sad thing to say, but acceptance will eventually outweigh your love for your ex.

Even if you’ve moved on from your ex, it’s normal to be impressed when you hear that they’re engaged. Be patient and understanding with yourself and your soon-to-be ex-partner. Marriage will be another thing of the past.
