When we've been left for someone else, we'll be devastated of course, but it's easy to up the torture further by thinking that a) the rival is so much better than us b) our ex will be so much happier with them than they ever were with us. Both ideas are profoundly flawed, as our film shows.

“Sometimes, we are not only left in love; we are left for someone else - a rival who comes to assume a large, indeed monstrous position in our imaginations. The torture comes down to one essential question which pursues us into the early hours: What do they have that we do not?
Part of the agony rests on a basic feature of human psychology; we know ourselves from the inside, in great and dispiriting detail, whereas we can know others only from the outside, from what they choose to reveal, which may be almost nothing, aside from an attractive face and a charming manner.”

Its crazy but with my ex, I saw his flaws, all of them I saw him for who he truly is and still I loved him. I too, showed myself to him without any masks but he didn't like that at all. So here I am, heartbroken. Wondering how can I have loved someone so much despite of their flaws while they were only falling out of love when they saw mine. It's crazy and truly cruel.

@mqh2411 3 года назад

It is. I'm sorry for you. You're more mature and better than him. It broke your heart, but it also freed you from an unbalanced and unhealthy relationship to allow you to thrive alone or with someone better. But for now, focus on yourself first, fight for your happiness. And that means you have to slowly, but surely get over him. It's gonna be okay.

@tomwanders6022 4 года назад

@sidismo2903 4 года назад

This is true. GF replaced me with someone noticeably less good-looking, less financially stable, and less intelligent. When I asked her why she chose him, she just said because he listened and talked to her, which was weird because being busy with work and spending less time with each other was our mutual decision so we could establish a better life. Sometimes, cheaters or those who leave for another look for one thing that is missing in their current relationship and think it's everything when they see it with the new person. The reality is, however, they're just trading down for scraps of what they think they're missing.

@ger658 5 лет назад

Just today I saw the person I'm in love with, with his new girlfriend. And yes, I also thought that she is perfect for him and why on earth would he ever choose me instead of her. She is more beautiful, taller, younger, probably has a much more interesting life and personality than me. And yes, I also thought that now it's only the beginning and they're still in love and fascinated with each other. And that this is bound to change. I get everything you say and I totally agree with these observations. But the thing is ... he is with her and not with me. And I miss him and I want him in my life. I am rationalizing everything but the pain and torture is here and it's breaking my heart.

@NightZ3r0 5 лет назад

Him being with her is only at this moment. As you said, they are currently in the 'honeymoon period' at the beginning of a crush. Give them time to see each other's flaws, the more space you can give them the faster they will see these flaws. In the mean time, if you really wish to be with that person, the first thing you can do is to improve yourself as a person. When you keep working on yourself, who knows. You might end up loving yourself and realizing the need to be with that person has become a tiny fraction of what it once was. Now you might also be able to make a more objective, rational decision when that person comes back for you - and they will also see how much you've improved yourself.

@auk8174 5 лет назад

I do not agree there is hundreds. U do meet optimal numbet of ppl through your life, but not all are concious enough to satisfy you. I would like some1 who is aware enough of himself, with enough integrity, concious etc. I want high starting point, and not to need to fix some1. I want some1 who is already ready for direct, open comunication, with mature emotional state. But speaking of this, when u find one like that, all problems somehow become resolved, without leaving any space for resentment. With mature comunication there are no any rivals to be left for. You are fulfilled already. This topic, i think, is for those who are kind of lower on emotional growth scale.

It hurts to loose her as a girlfriend, I dont want to loose her friendship, the intimacy, the love. I want to see her happy, if the relationship was making her sad, I have to accept it and move on. But its just a thought in the air, my actual feelings are so depressing. The only thing that sometimes calms me is that maybe we will keep being friends, but I dont know if she will want that too, even though she says she does wants that, I dont know if she will change her mind. She is not perfect, nor was I, but it was so nice, and healthy, yes it had its issues but so fixable. I dont know how to explain the amount of suffering Im going through, but seeing more people going through the same thought processes its helpful.

@georgiivdovin6543 5 лет назад

Could you make a video about dealing with jealousy? I feel like this is a very harsh problem for a lot of people, me certainly. Not about what it's psychological origins are or how your partner has to not put you throw it, but how to actually deal with those waves of jealousy. For instance, I get instantly triggered when my partner mentions her past experiences in any way. And it's not just her mentioning it, we live in a small city so I can actually meet those people/see a picture online, so the triggers are constantly there, I can't just hide from it. I consider myself a fairly reasonable person and I do understand what's in the core of that feeling, but it frustrates me so much that I literally can't do anything about it except to just sit through this whirlpool of explainable, but barely justified anger and envy. Maybe there is a mental framework that I'm missing out on. Please help.

@georgiivdovin6543 5 лет назад

It's my first serious relationship and she's actually trying to avoid triggering me, so it's not her manipulations (I hope), most of it is just my mind overthinking. I think I have trust issues without any actual reason for it, it's just there. But thanks for the feedback.

@NikkoYM 5 лет назад

I think it's a reasonable expectation for someone's partner to exercise restraint when talking about the past. I myself need to be really careful about talking about exes. Not that I think my current beau is affected by it too much. Even so, I need to ask myself what my motive is by doing that? Something I've heard said is that the person talking about the past may be engaging in what is known as "euphoric recall"...and they may not even know that that is what they are doing. If you and your partner are serious, I think it's worth talking to her about it - - and what you may need to do is explain that you need to set a boundary with her. And, ask her if she is willing to acknowledge that you need this boundary and will she try to respect it. It's tricky territory. Sometimes women talk about their exes because they may not want the same mistakes repeated in their current relationship. For instance, 1 person may talk about past abuse in the hopes that they will not be the victim of such behavior again. (It's just an example. It could even be about more trivial things.) There's an interesting resource which you and your partner may want to investigate. It's called "Non-Violent Communication" (there's a book/website by the title). I hope this may be somewhat helpful. I can appreciate that hearing about exes can be a painful thing.

@steeleye2112 5 лет назад

Hiya, been there, done that and i'm afraid the only answer is one you probably don't want to hear. Your jealousy is nothing to do with what your partner has done or is doing. Your jealousy comes from a lack of self worth, self-respect and self love. If you loved and accepted who you are, faults, strengths, et al you simply wouldn't care about any of this. Unfortunately learning to accept yourself is a unique journey for everyone and there are no instant off the shelf answers. The first step is to stop thinking it''s about anything external to yourself and start looking inside, examine what you are actually feeling. This can be hard. It was for me. Just as an example, When I heard about the sexual experiences she had enjoyed I felt jealous and anxious. It took forever to realize I wasn't jealous of her for having them. I was envious because i wanted those kind of experiences and hadn't experienced what I truly wanted. This was just the first step, where i went from there was a long and wonderful journey which is still underway. Therapy, meaningful discussions with friends, internet videos that reveal new ways of thinking can all help but the answer is inside you, these are just paths to find it. I wish you all the best and hope you resolve your pain. You are a perfectly fine, lovable individual, we all know that, when you know that for yourself you will enjoy life more than you can imagine.

Emotions are energy in motion. You won't find a mental model is enough. We need to release past trauma through energy healing. At some point the amygdala will calm down x

Please know that anyone going through heartbreak, you will be ok... time WILL heal if you progress with yourself. Im 44 and I felt soooooo much pain I had never experienced about 4 months ago from being left by a beautiful person who just wasn't my match I now realise but it forced me into working on LOVING MYSELF as most of us don't do this before we find ourselves in a relationship that can end which means pining over another form if they leave us..

I had a short "fling" with a girl at work whom I really liked. She ended up ending things to pursue a relationship with someone else. I'm feeling worthless, powerless, depressed right now... this video made me feel somewhat better

I like how Parisians view love relationships! It never ends well! You either go through a breakup after an affair, or go through a divorce after marrying or you end up widowed like I did after 42 years! Very pragmatic outlook on life! Best to learn how to self-partner with oneself! BTW, love the graphics! Thanks for sharing~

A lot of these brilliant ideos were uploaded in the month leading up to my breakup last year. I wish I had known about these then. I think they would've so brilliantly conveyed what I wanted to tell my ex. Might even have saved us, who knows.
