Therapy comes in many forms.
Sometimes the best way to find solace in a breakup is to befriend your ex-boyfriend's new girlfriend's ex-boyfriend and talk about how "they were made for each other anyways."I know what you're thinking. And yes, it does sound exactly like an episode of MTV's Catfish.But surprisingly, it's very comforting to hear that what you're feeling is exactly what someone else is feeling in the same situation. It makes me feel sane and normal. Two things I very rarely feel.I moved on and I was feeling confident about my decision to be single. But there was always a tiny, muffled voice in the back of my mind popping in and out making me wonder if I had actually done the right thing.Talking with Bob about our breakups and our exes made that little voice of doubt vanish. And suddenly my smile is a little brighter and my shoulders feel a little lighter.So, shout out to all the exes out there feeling like we felt. You aren't alone, and you're gonna be just fine. And don't ever doubt the decisions you make. [disclaimer: names have been changed to protect innocent exes.]
