Dear Lily, my ex is getting married and I’m crushed. How do I get over it and be genuinely happy for them?
Dear reader, it’s okay to feel sad when an ex is getting married. They were an important part of your life, it’s normal to have residual emotions.

It might feel like you’re going to feel this way forever — you won’t. Here are a few things to speed up moving on.
