Can anyone share some tips for moving on from a long-term relationship and dealing with the emotions of seeing your ex-partner in social situations, especially when they have moved on to a new relationship? I am feeling so depressed as it is getting difficult to move on and can't even share the emotion with someone.😔

I am sorry to hear that you are going through a bad time. Ending a long-term relationship can be incredibly difficult and painful, and it's completely understandable that you're struggling to move on. But let's look at the positive side of the same, As your ex has moved on and he has chosen someone else over you. So you don't need to feel stuck as you clearly know he has gone. Sometimes people don't break up and choose to cheat on which is more painful.
You need to understand that relationship get's over and it's normal. You are not alone who are facing this situation. Seeing or meeting him in social events is sometimes inevitable, when you have a common friend circle. To avoid him, avoiding your other friends will not be even option. That will be a bad idea. So the best that you can do is accept that things happen for a reason and whatever has happened to you is just way of divine to tell you things are not permanent here. You always need to be prepared to face situations like that, and believe me these incidents makes you stronger and stronger. It's okay to feel depressed, sad, angry or lonely as these are natural emotions which are there to help you to grieve for your loss and same emotions makes you realise, what are the mistakes you've committed in the past, so take all those emotions positively. Let some days pass, In these days try to observe your behaviour, your mind and body reactions and how they bring past memory again and again to make you feel depressed. Observation and Introspection will help you to understand your "self" more. My simple advice to you is don't force yourself to delete him from your mind as force does not work well rather feel loved for the good time that you have had together an forgive him and yourself for being wrong in the relationship. Give yourself nice vacation. Go out and spend time with others but do not choose to date someone else as that won't help and you will get stuck to another wrong relationship.
