Why?



I failed. Miserably. 

I was driving for Uber eats.  I had to go down sixth street to get to the place I had to deliver.  Sixth street is a cool street with antique shops and biker bars and quaint little restaurants. The last time I was there I was with David.  So, it was hard to drive down it and relive the happy memories. When I was driving and trying not to cry, I thought I saw him.  

David lives 6 hours away in Truth or Consequences, NM so the chances of him being in Amarillo are very low.  But it looked just like him.  The guy wore his hat and sunglasses the same.  He had on a similar shirt that David wears all the time.  His body was nearly identical to Davids.  Stocky and overweight.  The guy was holding hands with a girl.  

I had to keep driving. But I wanted to go back and see if it was him.  My mind started going a million miles a minute. I started to think that I needed to know for sure if he was dating someone new from Amarillo.  I wanted to know if there was a chance I might run into him.  I don't want that.  

The only thing I could think to do was to check his Facebook profile. I argued with myself. I stared at his profile pic.  I kept telling myself no.  I haven't checked his Facebook since we broke up 4 months ago.  I was so proud of myself for staying in no contact. My goal was to stay in no contact indefinitely or until he reached out. 

I gave in. I looked. 

He's in a new relationship with a girl named Lauren.  She looks half his age. Fortunately, she lives in the same town as him so the chances of seeing him here in Texas are still very low to non-existent. 

They made their relationship public on July 5.  Who knows when they started going out. It's only been 4 months!!!  I am devastated.  But at the same time, I knew this was going to happen. 

He did the same thing in 2025.  We broke up in November of 2024 and by January he was with Tammy.  By March they were engaged and 8 months later she dumped him and he ran back to me. 

The first time he dumped me in 2023, he ran back to his ex-fiancé Karen and then ended up in jail for shooting the dude she was cheating on him with. 

He hasn't unfriended me on Facebook.  He hasn't deleted any of the pics or posts about me on his page. 

My pic is no longer on the featured 6 friends that show up due to the algorithm. 

But his pic is on mine.  😡 It makes me so mad because I have to see it when I go to my page. 

Sometimes it disappears for a few days, but it always comes back.  Why????   And now that I have checked his page, it will probably never disappear!

How does he find girls so fast?  How???  I don't want him happy. I want him to be miserable like I am. He's fat! He's a felon!  He's a sex addict and possibly a narcissist! Why???????????????????

He has friends and a good family and a job and a girlfriend. 

I know I should stop comparing.  But it's hard being the loser. 

I am so angry. I want to beat him up.  I want to warn the new girl.  

They will probably get engaged and get married. 

But I won't know because I am never checking his page again!

Should I block him? I have been thinking about that for the last few days.  I can't decide. 

Part of me wants to block him and go on with my life. 

Why am I holding on?   

Part of me wants to become the girl he can't get - I want to show him all the weight I lose ... I want him to see how great I became... how I have this wonderful life ... (even though it's a lie) 

But am I performing for an empty auditorium? He doesn't care.  He has erased me from his life. 

Why hasn't he unfriended me on Facebook?   Well, he didn't unfriend any of his exes. 

     I already know what they will say.  Do it for yourself. Not for some man who doesn't a care about you at all.  He has moved on. He does not want me.  I will never hear from him again.  

He has moved on. He does not want me.  I will never hear from him again. 

He has moved on.  He does not want me. I will never hear from him again. 

How many times do I have to tell myself that until it finally clicks?

Girl, you are over here beating yourself up about him, missing him, crying over him, letting him disrupt your life.  While is out there with someone new, living his life and not giving you a second thought. He is living rent free in your head. EVICT HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
