Finding out your abuser has a new partner

I felt the same way. Now I'm working on letting go. I know my ex has found someone, and she's probably feeling like the luckiest girl in the world right now to have found someone like him! Just like I felt when I first met him. However the new person has a long road ahead of them. They're not the 'new love' they're the new supply. And the same thing will happen to them. They'll have to learn just as we did. It's not our problem anymore.

You're in a much better place than either of them. It's hard sometimes not to be bitter or jealous, trust me I know! Just always remember it's not as perfect as they make it seem. Once the honeymoon phase wears off the abuse starts...the gaslighting, lies, secrecy, physical abuse etc. No healthy, loving relationship has those traits. Your ex and mine will forever be chasing a new supply once they get bored or the one they're currently seeing finally leaves. They're doomed to live that way. It's an endless cycle and whenever any bad feelings come up just remind yourself how lucky and strong you are that you chose not to live that way anymore. You chose happiness. Life is too short for anything else!
