4 months after most painful breakup of my life, met someone better

Like it was for many of you, my avoidant breakup was the most painful of my 45 year long life, and I've been married and had all kind of relationships prior to this. We were together for two years, and I got discarded like I had never been before.

First few weeks pain was terrible, and I couldn't feel anything but misery. But one benefit of the breakup was that I was able to spend more time with friends I hadn't seen as much when I was with her. Through one of those friends I met someone new who is prettier, smarter, and more eager to do interesting activities than my ex was. We're just a few dates in, so we'll see where it goes, but I've been thinking I wouldn't have pursued her if I was with my ex, and would have been missing out. If you had asked me three months ago I would have said I'll never meet anyone as good. Now I've met someone better.
