Just saw my ex's new girlfriend slagging me off on Twitter. I'm angry. How to cope and find the willpower to stop snooping?

My ex left me for someone else but was a complete coward about it. He started treating me badly so I would dump him basically. I did and he got with this girl the day after. This was September and they moved in together last month.

I sent my ex some angry texts when I found out they moved in together and we haven’t contacted each other since. I don’t intend to ever see him or speak to him again. He disgusts me. I told him this.

I hadn’t looked at his or her social media since which has been three weeks. I forced myself to stop looking because it was making me upset. But I had a weak moment today and checked her Twitter. I noticed on the 28th of November she tweeted: “It’s a weird feeling knowing someone has been stalking your social media #getalife”

I know it was me she was talking about because the 28th of November was when I found out they moved in together and I sent him angry texts.

I’m angry. I felt like tweeting her back but obviously I’m not going to. I have more dignity than that. I never made anything public on social networking websites concerning the break up and the fact that she has gets to me. I thought maybe she was a nice girl which is why my ex wants to be with her, but she seems to be a nasty piece of work. If it was the other way around and I was the girl a guy left his ex for, I’d feel sorry for the ex for being broken up with in such a cowardly way and that it must be heartbreaking for her. But she just says “get a life”

The anger stage is hard. I need to find the will power to stop me from snooping…
