If your ex got married only months after the breakup, your ex either skipped the new relationship stages and rushed the marriage (which is a bad idea) or got to know the new person behind your back while you were still a couple. Either way, getting married within months of breaking up isn’t the wisest
Handling a breakup is easy, but handling it the right way isn’t always straightforward.

If you’ve been dumped by someone you love, you’re probably sticking to strict no contact and doing your best not to reach out.

Does your ex think about you, or are you the only one wondering what your ex is doing, thinking, and feeling? I can say with certainty that you’re not alone. Your ex is definitely thinking about you. It may not be a romantic kind of thinking and wishing things didn’t end for good, but when
Hate is a common emotion dumpers feel after a breakup. Dumpers are so exhausted, irritated, and stressed from staying in a relationship longer than they wanted that they blame their ex for their unhappiness and failures and hate their ex’s decisions, behavior, or personality.
