Simply put, because they have been prepared and you weren't.
So, don't try to compete with them.
On their side, there has been a process of emotionally and mentally checking out while you were still together and while you were under the impression that everything is cool.
What story do you have involving a public restroom?
You both are on polar opposites of the scale.
This happened long or shortly before they physically left.
Instead, focus on taking care of, solving and healing what you are experiencing right now.
Do you remember one day, you put a deep smile on someone's face and made them very happy?
This is why comparing yourself to them in terms of the healing process isn't going to help you in any way, shape or form.
What they do doesn't matter and it's completely irrelevant to your healing process, though it’s valid to hate and judge them harshly for leaving the way they did.
I.e. you thought that you had the perfect deal whereas they had already made up their mind and just weren't as emotionally invested in it as you were.
How did you know you weren't the narc?
This is why you can't expect them to feel anything close to what you're feeling right now, because you and them are on a completely different stage in the healing process.
And during this process, they either started seeing someone new who they planned to secure as their rebound option or were busy creating their post-breakup plan.
