Ex new bf 3 months after breakup?

Hi guys my gf of 20 months; broke up with me on September 12th. She was 21 I’m 27. She said I was controlling, didn’t make her happy (said she had 5 happy days all year) said she can’t change me to make her happy and she’s tired of doing things just to not hurt me. Doesn’t see a future with me when she ended it with me. Around July/August she started dimming her phone lighting when around me. She claimed I wouldn’t let her hangout with friends, which was totally untrue she never even asked about hanging out with friends, she barely had any. 

She met this guy in class in July (not sure if it’s zoom class), (also I guess I wasn’t so controlling, if she had this guy and I didn’t know about him) and they are now officially dating. She says he knew all about me and respected everything and he wasn’t the reason we broke up. He had nothing to do with it. But I’m finding this hard to believe.... 

How do I get over this mess and what do I make of it?

    Hard to say whether you're really controlling or whether you just picked someone too young to truly embrace monogamy. But things like even noticing that she dimmed her phone suggests that maybe you do have paranoid/controlling tendencies. The way to get past this is to spend some time working on yourself and getting your head clear before you try to find love again. You'll also have a better shot at relationship success if you pick someone closer to your own age.

    For whatever reason, she likes this other guy more. Be glad you saw all of this, she was no good to start with.

    Dude, it's literally gonna be December, than there will be a new year. You need to stop focusing on the past and keep moving to the future. It doesn't matter what she did. Its over now and you need to move on. I don't understand why you're still here putting in effort for someone who doesn't care about you. Why are you still in contact? This thing you got here sounds toxic and you're unable to move on. You better leave the past and move towards the future now.
