Ex narcissist keeps bringing his new gf to all the places we use to go to/restaurants near my house. How do I avoid getting hurt/not let it get to me?

I broke up with him to see if he would change/treat me better seeing as he always complained/put me down/broke up with me whenever he didn’t like something. I always had hope he would miss me and realize how bad his life was without me. Now he is dating a girl really similar to me and even it’s been almost a year he shows her off (which he never did to me)/ takes her to our favorite spots. I know I shouldn’t let it affect me but it still hurts

I feel sorry for you. But you should move on already. Life is too short for wasting it on someone who isn't worthy.

Don't keep upsetting yourself. Move forward he sounds like a total knob

Maybe those places are his favorite places and has nothing to do with you.

There is no future in the past.

He's trying to replace you.
I did that with a woman once. I missed the experience of that
Relationship, so I would take my new girl to all those new places in hopes of reliving those experiences that were so fun with the first

What should I do? Just ignore it even if it hurts @SW-User

@Sensitiveheart Just remember that maybe he isn't doing it to hurt you, that is may not be an attack.

He might just be trying to fill some holes in himself.

You're not an idiot for letting it hurt you, these things take time to heal. People who are important to us stay important for a while.
I got to the point with my last ex girlfriend that I had to move to a new city because everything reminded me of her, good and bad.

Sometimes it's good to move to the other side of town. Find new haunts. Do new things. Find new people.

I'm sorry you hurt this way.
