When it looks like he moved on instantly, remember that speed is not healing. It is distraction dressed up as progress. Most men are never taught how to sit with emotional pain, so they do the only thing that feels familiar — they run from it. A new relationship becomes a hiding place, not a home. He may look fine on the outside, but avoiding grief always comes with a price. Every unprocessed feeling follows him into the next connection, showing up as detachment, confusion, or sudden distance. What you worked to understand, he will eventually be forced to face. That is not your loss, it is his delayed lesson. So don’t compare your healing pace to his escape route. You are not behind because you are still processing. You are ahead because you stopped pretending. And while he is running from the pain, you are becoming the version of yourself who will never need to. P.S.
