Honestly... I get out my mental little black book and hook up with someone hotter than the ex.
I think that is shallow and a ignoble thing to do. Then all you do is use someone else so you can make your ex jealous.

Basically just say "oh well" and carry on. Not much a person can do, it just takes time. Darnit anyhow. flowerforyou

It's not about making the ex jealous. It's about feeling good about yourself.

The worse break up I had was with a co-worker and we had to see each other and work closely together at work.......it is much better if you can keep your distance until all the emotions calm down. I do not recommend dating co-worker after that experience, it was tough.

I find the biggest home project and dive into it. Drinking isn't an option because I'm afraid I might "drunk call" them and make an a$$ out of myself.

This is good advice...you and I have a similar way of looking at things.

Thank you! I've been kind of making light of it, but this was a serious relationship for me, and it really hurts. I really thought he was "the one". I think you're right about being with loved ones right now though. I usually have a tendency to withdraw, at least from RL friends, when I am struggling. But maybe they are what I need.

How is it making my ex jealous? It's not like I go blabbing to the world (or the ex) about what I did. It makes ME feel better than that's what the question was about.

And I truthfully don't care if I'm using someone to get off because I know that's exactly what they're doing to me.

I take time to heal with reading, music and some light meditation. Then take a deep breath, smile like I've never been hurt, put on my big girl panties and move on.
