Hi Heather,

As you mentioned, he now has a girlfriend. Think about all she has to go through with being with such an emotionally unstable man..and look at yourself as starting a new life, with great new opportunities at your college..wow..think how exciting that will be for you. All the new friends you will make, the great looking men you will encounter.

Before you know it, you will get caught up in all this new excitement, one day you will wake up thinking about something, a new class at college, a new social activity or athletic event, a cute guy you saw in class, your studies..it will most likely be a large campus, and I really doubt you will run into your ex. Try to avoid him at as much as you can, try to stay away from his girlfriend or any of his friends, just make a clean break from him. He does not deserve anything from you at this time, as he has moved on, and show your self you are a strong, independent women who can be happy without him, and you don’t even have to say anything to him. Try not to put so much pressure on yourself and analyze what he is thinking about, or what you will say to him. If you see him, just give him a polite nod, or smile and keep moving like you have people to see and places to go.

Why should he have all the fun? Do things for you to make you happy. You already are actually by embarking on an exciting new journey, college is awesome. When I got my degrees I forgot all about my exes because I was busy going to dances, joining the college newspaper, athletics, honor clubs. You will too, and as the days go by, you will think of him and his girlfriend less and less because you will be so busy with your new life. Heck with him right? Let me know what you think.
