My ex bf hurt me a lot. I broke up with him to see if he would change.He is now dating someone else. I feel really depressed. How do I move forward?

I thought he would change. Instead, he tried to ruin my life (get back at me in every way by turning my friends against me). I loved him a lot so it was very difficult for me. He is now dating various women and doing the same thing he did with me. I only went on one date but I feel bad about it. I just feel depressed even though I know I made the right decision. But how do I stop from feeling bad/missing him - move forward?

accept the hardest thing to accept..but will set you free...he does NOT want to be with you anymore...he is immature and selfish. This is all up to you to move on. I think you dodged a bullet...why would you want anything else to do with someone who as you said "tried to ruin my life (get back at me in every way by turning my friends against me)." There is no love there...if you think you still love a jerk like that you need to work on your self esteem and self respect
