Could you get over your ex sleeping with someone while you broke up?

Been in this exact situation. It hurts at first, a lot. But time really does help to heal. It'll hurt today, a little bit less next week, and a little bit less the week after and so on
@Dory we are thinking of giving things a go
Oh I see. So you guys were on a break versus like fully broken up?
I think I’d look at it more as, his come clean and told you something that really isn’t none of your business as yous wasn’t together and no say whether yous would actually get back together .. as much as it hurts.. I’d appreciate he had told you and not just brushed it under the carpet for you to find out months down the line etc .. I think take time to heal, but like @Francesca said, it’ll get easier x
Personally I wouldn’t think anything of it. I’m sure it was just sex or else he wouldn’t be trying to fix things with you. You’re both grown and had no commitment to each other. I would say try to see it from this perspective so you guys can have a healthy new beginning 🩷
I guess for me it would depend on a few things. If we were broken up, like not on a break but actually broken up then he was free to do whatever he wanted, with whoever he wanted. BUT if he hooked up with someone he regularly sees due to work or because they're just good friends then...that part is rough because can you trust the other person to be respectful? Can you trust him to make it clear it was a one time thing and that's it? Also, was it a one time thing or did they have their own little thing during the break up? Do you trust that he's being honest about what it was? Then go from there.
I'd say depends how soon he did it and how long you were broken up for
It hurts but think of it this way. It’s you he wants to make things work with. Perhaps sleeping with that other woman made him realise how much he missed you. :)
How long was the break or break up?
@Dory we were fully broken up, I think we were both not expecting to work things out until recently
@Chelsea it was six months after we broke up x
@Shannon it was 10 months in total and he slept with her six months into it x
I’m confused. If it’s your ex it shouldn’t matter what they do anymore
