I just have to quote this from dandylion because you can only hit the Thanks button once!
I absolutely believe this to be true. Time and time again we hear of alcoholic exes that move on in the blink of an eye or shortly thereafter, who does that? Do people miraculously find great partners at the drop of a hat without taking any time to reflect?
No, it's a "thing" as dandylion describes.
I do believe it's something you should not take personally at all, also, he is not "that guy" anymore, not the guy you started out with. She is just dating the same guy you left, with good reason!
Hang in there, you are going to feel so much better very soon. I'm so glad today is moving day for you, hope you will check in and let us know how you are doing.
