  Two years ago, my partner left me for someone else. It was very unexpected and ugly, and we never really spoke again. I ended up shifting everything in my life so that I wouldn’t be reminded of the beautiful life we’d built together. I’ve actually managed to do this—I moved back home to be with my best friends, I’m wildly in love with someone else, and I’ve just started my own business. But still, I’m less happy than I was before. I think about what I would say to my old partner constantly. I can’t get over that I wasn’t enough for him. I hate that I can never cause him the pain he’s caused me. I’m so bitter. How do I move on?

  See a therapist.
  
  Betrayal hurts.  But part of growing up (and I suspect LW is at least less than 30) is figuring out how to focus on your own growth that shouldn't take down others.
  
  That doesn't mean that all adults figure this out. I see grown adults that can't manage to figure this out.  But you at some point have to figure out how to let go.

  Time to see a therapist. While it's hard to forget a betrayal like that, and the sting may never entirely go away, it shouldn't be ruling your life at this point. Don't let your past ruin your future.
