His Ex-Girlfriend Started Dating Her Psychologist, And It Makes Him Sick Since This Guy Is 30 Years Older Than She Is
It was for five years that this 24-year-old guy dated his 23-year-old ex-girlfriend, and he admits the whole relationship was hardly healthy.
He and his ex each struggled with psychological problems; for him, it’s been addiction and depression, and for her, Bipolar Disorder and extreme anxiety.
His ex-girlfriend’s life was nothing but chaos. She dropped out of college several times and suffered from bad self-esteem.
She had an incredible bond with her dad, but then he passed away while they were still dating. It was then that his ex started seeing a psychologist, and he chose to do the same thing.
“As my substance abuse became worse, our relationship deteriorated,” he explained. “Towards the end, her (now former) psychologist invited her to dinner at his home.”
“They drank a lot of alcohol…when she told me this, she seemed creeped out, so I didn’t think much of it. He was far too old and grotesque to ever succeed with whatever he was trying. Turns out I was wrong.”
“We broke up shortly thereafter, about 9 months ago, because she had lost attraction towards me after I took her for granted for far too long. It’s true – I didn’t put any effort into the relationship. I was intensely heartbroken and still miss her to this day, despite not wanting anything to do with her. I have since turned my life around and am quite grateful to have gone through the heartbreak. I wish the same for her.”
A couple of days ago, he ran into his ex and her psychologist while at an event their mutual friend was hosting.
Seeing his ex with this man who is 30 years older than she is struck him as bizarre, but he figured that perhaps they had just turned into close friends.

But then his ex mentioned that she was living with her psychologist and dating him too. The more he considered his ex’s new relationship, the more disturbed he became.
Yesterday, he started to feel physically sick, mulling over his ex’s new man. This guy knows way too many deep, dark details about him and the defective relationship he had with his ex.
“He knows so much about her that the power dynamic of their relationship must be incredibly skewed,” he said.
“She is/was psychologically compromised. She’s 30 years younger than he is. She doesn’t have many friends or family, at least not close by. And now they’re living together after what can only be a few months together.”
“That said, they’re both consenting adults, and I’m sure he takes good care of her. At least someone is.”
Regardless, he’s left wondering how to get over this and how to finally move on and quit thinking about his ex.
What advice do you have for him?
