5. You imagine all the ways their new relationship will or won’t work
Solution: Sorry, there’s no solution for the fact he's dating someone other than you. But, look, if the guy was an asshole with you, guess what? He’s still going to be one with her. And if you had a good thing and now you’re thinking about him and the new flame in soft lighting with pretty pillow talk, then you’re depressed and letting them be the star of a movie in your head, instead of being the star of your own life.
If you’re cursing them and picturing bad sex and incompatibility, then you’re being — well — totally normal, but bitchy. The most gangsta thing you can do? Wish them well. Shrug ‘em off. Make them irrelevant. They are.
