I understand your feelings but try to overcome them

I guess not buying that engagement ring was the right thing to do. Have you ever been dumped before by a partner?

I was a student that time so focused on my studies. That's how I overcame that trauma

Reflection of feelings
Should I confront Brad at my ex-GF's workplace or start looking online for another partner? You think connecting with other people would work? Like a support group?

start looking for a new one because if she wanted to stay with you she would have never ditched you for Brad yeah

Yeah, it was a long relationship. I should have lived together with her instead of being in different apartments. Well, she constantly told me that she loved me. I never thought it would be Brad.....he is a geeky dude. I met him at my GF's last Christmas party, hosted uptown. Work Christmas Party, too.

its ok, things happen, if she was actually in love with you, she would not leave you just for being in a different apartment
