My Nervy X

Hi Taylor; My ex-boyfriend of 3 years left me in January. Within a few months I found out that he was engaged! Then married already in June! It seems everything he did with her were the plans I thought of with him; from the date to the honeymoon! I want to know if I should do anything to let him know how nervy it is of him to use my dreams and wishes with another girl. She is even wearing the ring that I picked out. What do you think?... m

Dear M,

I chose this picture as it epitomizes what would essentially be happening should you choose to let this man know how you feel. As you can tell from the man's posture, it goes in one ear and out the other - your efforts would be in vain. Ask yourself one question: What are you focusing your energy on? Apparently your relationship was not meant to be... so where are you now? How are you focusing your valuable time and energy on your life and future?

Obviously, this man's actions are despicable and although the anger you must feel toward him is completely understandable, certainly you can heed to the wisdom in disciplining your emotions to forgive him. Let go and be free. Pray for the strength if you must as this is not an easy task.

Bottom line: He is living his life and I suggest you do the same - for your sake.
