Today, exactly a year after he ended our relationship days before our son's first Christmas and told me he would always be in mine and our sons lives, I learned my ex got a new girlfriend several months ago, who more than likely is the reason he stopped calling. FML

Today, I was hanging out with my ex's new girlfriend. I found out he was dating us both at the same time and was comparing between us. That is why he broke up with me two years ago and is still with her ever since. FML

Really...? Sounds like the new GF should get a little heads-up about her BF...

While I respect the fact that a breakup or divorce is painful, do not expect an ex to stay in your life. It’s reasonable to expect an ex to continue to take care of his son, but not to stay in your life. Obviously ex has moved on, it’s time OP moves on too.
