So basically a little over a year ago I broke up with my then boyfriend because I had been fed up with his ways. He was just a really emotionally unavailable and distance person. He lied a lot. Was a complete flake with all our plans. So I ended it after a year of that.

Since I had already been mentally distancing myself for him for awhile, I wanted a fresh start.

I downloaded tinder about a few weeks later. Around that time I slept with my ex to distract myself from the thought of him. And soon after I met my current boyfriend, in the same month.

We’ve been together for over a year now, I told him about everything and he isn’t happy about it.

Should I really be ashamed for handling it that way? I had been really dependent on my ex and that was just my coping method at the time.
