My ex moved on so fast. How can I overcome the pain?

On their side, there has been a process of emotionally and mentally checking out while you were still together and while you were under the impression that everything is cool.

Simply put, because they have been prepared and you weren't.

This is why comparing yourself to them in terms of the healing process isn't going to help you in any way, shape or form.

Should I have left it alone and kept quiet? I came out as gay to my adult kids last week. Age 61 married 15 years, divorced for 20. I feel so guilty for ruining their lives by living a lie.

Instead, focus on taking care of, solving and healing what you are experiencing right now.

So, don't try to compete with them.

You both are on polar opposites of the scale.

What is your opinion on The Beatles' impact on modern popular music? Are there any other bands with similar impacts on their genre(s)? Why them and not others?

This is why you can't expect them to feel anything close to what you're feeling right now, because you and them are on a completely different stage in the healing process.

This happened long or shortly before they physically left.

I.e. you thought that you had the perfect deal whereas they had already made up their mind and just weren't as emotionally invested in it as you were.

Do most narcissists have good intentions as long as you are under their control?

And during this process, they either started seeing someone new who they planned to secure as their rebound option or were busy creating their post-breakup plan.

What they do doesn't matter and it's completely irrelevant to your healing process, though it’s valid to hate and judge them harshly for leaving the way they did.
