Emma asks :
Hi Lucy,
My ex has a new partner and they seem to be doing OK. I like him still and I think he likes me but is staying with her. What should I do?
Hi Emma,

Perhaps it's best to stay out of things and see how it goes with them. If they are not meant to be they will go their separate ways eventually, without any intervention from you. Breaking them up might not get the result you want it to and you could end up being hurt all over again. If he is single again then maybe that would be the time to tell him if you still feel the same.
You are only working on the assumption that you 'think he still likes you'. If he has not confirmed this then perhaps he has moved on and you are telling yourself that your feelings are reciprocated to make it easier?
If he is dating someone new then maybe this is the perfect chance for you to do the same. Maybe the reason you still like him is because you have not tried to find someone new, which would take your mind of pining for him.
It can be difficult when your ex finds someone else and you have not got to that point yet, however, you will only be at that stage if you put him behind you and look forward and invest a new partner.
