How to deal with a broken heart when the ex-partner is happily married!

-

When Neha Dhupia and Angad Bedi had a hush-hush wedding in May last year, most people had one question which they didn’t dare to ask: How would Angad’s ex-girlfriend Norah Fatehi react to this news? And soon after their wedding, the happily married couple told the story behind their quick wedding. The couple was expecting their first child and there was hardly any time left for elaborate wedding preparation. And today, both Angad and Neha are the proud parents of a beautiful and healthy daughter who they named Mehr.

Breaking the silence about his break-up with Nora Fatehi during his interview with ETimes, Angad said “I like to believe that there is dignity in everything. There are some relationships which work and there are some which don’t work. Ideally, you want every relationship to work, if it happens it’s great, if it doesn’t it is unfortunate. I feel as far as my past relationship was concerned, she (Nora) is a lovely girl and she’s doing exceptionally well for herself. She’s a star in the making and all her body of work is being accepted by the audience and she’s on her way up! And, I feel that is what is important and I wish her all the best and all the love and luck.”

Nora, on the other hand, seemed to have moved on gracefully and is busy in her professional life. However, there were reports of Angad and Nora going through awkward moments of silence during social events after their break-up. But the past is over and they have accepted their life. If you are nursing a broken heart while your ex-partner is happily married, here are a few tips to help you get over the broken relationship.

Emotions: feel, process and then let it go

Sadness, anger and disappointment are nothing but emotions all individuals experience after a break-up. And when the person gets to know that the ex-partner has moved on and is now planning a future of togetherness with someone else, such emotions of anger and sadness will only intensify. According to experts, it’s important to feel and process all these emotions, which is the first step towards getting over a broken relationship. Holding onto such emotions would only make the suffering worse.

Set some boundaries

Setting boundaries—both self-imposed and with mutual friends—is very important if you want to move on. When two people are in a relationship they develop into certain habits, like going on social events together, sending romantic messages etc., which later becomes very difficult to stop. So, it’s important to set some self-imposed boundaries as soon as possible, also let your mutual friends know that you want to maintain a certain distance from your ex-partner, and they should respect your decision.

Be with people who love you

It is very important to surround yourself with positive energy after a break-up. When you are with people who love you, make you laugh and keep you busy, you are more likely to feel better sooner as compared to the time a person would take to recover when he keeps to himself.

Control your social media activities

Stopping yourself from stalking your ex-partner requires superhuman will power. The sooner you resist the temptation to follow your ex-partner’s trail on social media, the better it will get for you. Unfollowing or unfriending the person is the best option if you don’t want to watch the stories and happy moments of his life.

Keep yourself busy

An idle mind is the devil’s workshop. And this holds true for this situation as well. So, keeping yourself busy doing the things you love doing is the best antidote to the pain following a heartbreak. Also, picking up a new hobby meeting new people can help you break your chain of thoughts.
