My ex dated someone else as we split up should I be worried?

[Anonymous]

Me and my ex split up for two months which I decided to walk away from him. He was in a bad place, his business failed and lost over 100k (he kept this from me when we was together).

In the end I needed some space from him as I felt like he was a different person I mean I didn’t know what was going on with his personal life so now I wish I would of tried to dig deep and support him.

anyway we have started speaking again and he admitted he has been on two dates which upset me and he told me he was in a bad place with what had happened, felt extremely lonely and went on the dates to get out the house and to have someone to speak to. He assured me he knew very quickly he didn’t want to date anymore and missed me.

do I have a right to be upset and worried?

For everybody saying I wasn’t there for him I didn’t know to the extent what was going on! I tried my hardest and was constantly pushed away!

You two were broken up and he was acting as a single person, which is not wrong. Maybe you are upset that he did it quickly but everyone handles breakups differently. As of now if you’re going to get back with him then you need to consciously make the choice to let it go. If you can’t and it feels too hurtful then be honest with yourself about that, own it and walk away. If you stay, you cannot bring this up again.

Honestly I simply see space as a break up. So in short no in my point of view you left him because you didn't wanna deal with his issues and because of that he decided to find someone else. He should be upset at you for leaving him while he was down. He needed your support but you just left, what does that say about you?

Instead of being there for him through times of trouble, you left him when he needed support, and now you are worried that he found someone capable of loyalty?

You dumped him for being in a tough spot... he deserves better
