I’d feel some grief and sadness and also happiness for them. I’d react warmly.
I would be happy for them and cry in private to be honest. It’s okay to grieve and feel hurt. But also wish them well
I would have my moment to sit by myself privately and be sad, but overall I would be happy they found someone who makes them happy.
I would be a tad sad because it’s not with me, but I would at the same time be happy for them that they found someone.
Outwardly I would be warm and polite and happy for them.
Inside, I would feel sad and take some time to journal and work through some of those feelings and eventually realise that I deserve to be with someone who wants to be with me. That person is clearly not meant for me.
This happened to me with my ex several years ago (and several years before I met my husband) and it honestly felt like the world stopped moving. I remember feeling like I got punched square in the chest. It was a horrible feeling that stayed with me for a long time, and ultimately caused me to actually move on. It sucks, no way around it, but it can propel you where you need to go.
Honestly, I don’t think I would care too much because I’ve pretty much moved on so I don’t think it will really affect me if that ever happened.
Sad, for a moment.
