Summary
There's a particular kind of heartbreak that comes from seeing your ex move on before you have.
It can leave you wondering what they saw in someone else that they didn't see in you, or whether they were always meant to end up with someone else in the first place.
In this episode, Matthew answers a question from a live audience member who is trying to let go after the end of a five-year relationship. They talk about why it's so hard to move on when someone else seems to have done it so quickly, the role our ego plays in heartbreak, and one shift in perspective that can completely change the way we see the relationship we've lost.
If you've been feeling stuck after a breakup or can't stop thinking about your ex moving on, this is an episode you'll want to hear.
