Should I feel bummed out about Valentine’s Day over my short term relationship ending?

[Paulalove98]

I was in a relationship with this guy in November recently of 2022, we were together for 3 weeks but it turns out he was cheating on me talking to other girls while he was overseas and I found out when we were almost together a month! It blew my mind because things seemed to be finally making sense for me and we connected well but I look back on it like he manipulated me and was only telling me what I wanted to hear. I know this relationship wasn’t long enough to be really attached to someone but it still disappoints me a little bit because of how people can be this way but I’m not really triggered or bothered since I wasn’t with this guy long. I’ve decided to treat myself this Valentine’s Day:) Thoughts?

First, sorry. That's shitty. :(

Second, yes, treat yourself. (Not that you need an excuse.)

Third, I'd take a nuanced approach: it sucks to have had the relationship end, and really nice to be in a relationship in general and on Valentine's Day... BUT... I'd also look at it like he did you a favor kind of by outing himself early and allowing you to find someone who deserves you.

So, forget him and focus on you.

It's normal, but don't become too obsessed over it.

You’re feelings are valid yes. Let it all out. there's a whole process you gotta go through for you to move on. Grieving is one of them
