How do I (M21) survive my girlfriend (F19) leaving me for another more successfull guy?

She wasn't the one. It's gonna hurt like a bitch, and maybe might be a bad memory, but you'll get past it and get to enjoy the excitement of meeting new girls. Those 2 years you were with her will be a distant memory eventually. I dated a girl like that, she dumped me, and got with someone who she ended up marrying and having kids with almost immediately after. Felt like shit, and the feelings are bad when I think of it, but it's so distant it's ultimately unimportant.

I had the excitement of meeting and dating lots of other women, and now I'm married with an amazing woman who I feel incredibly comfortable with. And I'm always grateful I ended up with a good person that is committed and cares about me like I care about her.

The girl who dumped me and got with someone so quickly afterward was immature and inconsiderate. She went her way, and she became just an ex. She probably found her right one, but I know I found mine!
