How to stop comparing yourself to the new girl?
Back story: My ex and I broke up 3 years ago. I kept the hope alive after the breakup thinking we would eventually get back together.
He was very sweet and always let me know I’m pretty in the beginning of our relationship. Towards the end that changed, and he wouldn’t compliment me as much. Before me he was dating a white girl (I’m Latina - so is he). He would say “white girls just want me for fun but not for anything serious”. He was very self conscious about his English. I would encourage him to practice with me and flat out refused. We would only speak Spanish. Not only that but I would notice he would compare me with white girls he would see in public. Such as asking me “why can’t you dress like that?”.
Last year, I found out he’s in a new relationship with a younger white girl. She’s gorgeous and it’s clear he loves her. (Has lasted with her more than me, and flaunts her on social media).
Sucks to know she was probably his type all along. And it irks me knowing he probably puts in effort with speaking English with her. How do I get past this feeling of comparison?
