My ex is now back with his ex before me, I feel like I was a REBOUND

Hello there, 

After leaving my longterm relationship of one year, I have just found out that my ex partner is getting back together with his ex (before me).

I feel really hurt that after a month he can just move on like that and back with his ex, before me. 

I am feeling so lonely and sad. Although, I’m lonely.. I am appreciative that I had did not stay with him because he would guilt trip me and say things like “…I will never love another” and “If you leave me I will be forever alone and you are my last hope.”

Because he is going back with his ex it has made me feel that the WHOLE time he had feelings for her… I felt like a rebound. It has made me feel terrible about my self esteem.

This is about him not you. He derived you and maybe himself. You are a kind honest caring person who deserve high self esteem. It is  awful when the person you loved appears to have maybe still been in love with his ex.
