What if my ex cheated on me with her and now they go out? He cheated on me with her while I was pregnant and dumped in my last month of the pregnancy, but I found out 2 weeks later that he was cheating.

Hi chris!
first i’d like to say that your words are big help.
well, i had bf for 1.8 yrs.that relation was almost perfect. we were actually talking about our wedding.. but suddenly everythings turned different. he broke up with me almost a month now,he said he just need a space because of some sort of family problem.. i beg, i pleaded and i know i did everything to asked for another chance to work things out between us but he remains to his reason and asked for space. i asked if there was a third party involved but he denies it but then i learned after 2 weeks he already have a gf who tends to be his colleage.. we were still ok after the break up bcoz we agreed to be friends, we were still exchanging text and still talking on phone but suddenly the new girl intrude. right now we are no longer talking for like 1 week.i still love my ex boyfriend. do you think the new girl now was just a rebound? do i need to do NC? for how long? do you think there is still a chance that we can be together again? pls help..
thank you!

hi,
it was a long distance relationship,so how do I find out if he has a new girlfriend, I can’t just ask him, can I?… And there is nothing on facebook. Btw, he broke up half a year ago now…
What can I do? After no contact he is alwasy really nice, but when I write him for the second time, he merely replies. Maybe I did a mistake, but I was really carful not to make one…and it was a casual topic (more or less). He just doesn’t answer to my message, I’d really like to wirte: “Ok, I understood, I’m sorry ;)” just to see how he reacts. Then I would probably know what’s going on…but I know it’s a really stupid idea…
Tips?
(At least he likes most of my pictures on facebook)

Do you have any mutual friends?

March 31, 2014 at 4:24 pm
yes, we have one ^^ but they don’t have a lot of contact :/ Should I ask her if she can find something out?
On facebook there are some small hints, but it doesn’t have to mean he’s got a new girlfriend…I can’t be sure.
And is a nc for 4 months dangerous, is it too long, will he forget me? I don’t want him to get too anoyed…because obviously he doesn’t want to talk š beeing ignored really sucks š

What if we broke up but continued to constantly be together for months. Then stopped talking for a month and a half. Would the new woman still be considered a rebound

Any possibilities he would come back? If we had problems in our relationship coz i was too controlling and needy and sorts of things. Then he met a girl but the girl is married. So he cant be with her although they dated for about 2 weeks. I dont know if they still contact but he said no. But he still does not want to reconcile with me. I asked him what does his heart says.? He said he dont know. He said he does not have feelings for me. And he wants to be alone and no commitment. He always be alone in his room. Coz i asked his friends about him. Now he does not want me to text him and i cant even call him. He said he is trying to let me go. He gets jealous seeing me with other guy but he still does not trust that he loves me. He fell in love with that girl? And he wont come back to me right?no matter what i do..

Hi Chris,
Great site! I am not sure if my problem is for this guide/section but itās the closest on your site.
I was with my ex for almost 2.5 years. He had an ex that he knew her and her family (best friends with the brothers) for 11 years now. Her and him dated but broke up 2 or 3 times. One point he put a down payment on a wedding ring for her (He was in his mid 20ās at this time). One of the breakups she left him and gave him no reason. Him and his friends told me that it really tore him up. At the very start of our relationship (he was 29 – I am 5 years older) he needed space and went to therapy ā one of the issues was he needed closure from his ex. Just happens he saw her at a wedding and did just that.
We continued our relationship…all great…until…we had our first real fight about a lie he told me, we didnāt talk for 2 days, when we did talk (long story short – and after a lot of pulling teeth) he tells me he saw his ex during our fight and a lot of good and bad feelings came back. He feels that the last 2 months he was forcing his love for me (didnāt seem that way). He wants to end it with me and try with her. He knows itās a mistake but itās a chance he wants to take! He gave me some bs that I was the best thing that happened to him but he has feelings for her.
What I found out was she started texting him out of the blue and they texting for a few months. They would even get into text fights not talk for a few days and she would text back and apologize (which she would never do in the past) He told his friend he wants to move fast and even marry her. His friends and family are not happy about his decision.
This all happened, then he left for 3 weeksā vacation with his family. Itās been 3 weeks that he has been back. I only contacted him the 2 days after the breakup before he left.
Any thoughts on this…

When you say “give it some time” you say this because you believe his relationship with her may not last?

Impossible to know 100% sure but yes. The only way to know is to give it some time at this point. I talk about moving on without moving on. You may want to read more about that.

Hey Chris – My boyfriend and I were together for about 10 months until hr broke up with me 6 weeks ago. I admit it. I made all the mistakes, every single one! I begged, I pleaded, I cried, I guilt-tripped, I screamed, I texted, I phoned…I was basically a stalker! Don’t get me wrong, he fed right into it, he waxed and waned, one minute he loved me, the next he hated me. He’s been seeing other people, but trying to hide it from me and is back to being friends with his ex (who he referred to as Satan!) on FB. Now, after 6 weeks of this back and forth roller coaster nonsense, he told me I was not allowed to contact him for two weeks. It’s eating me alive to respect his wishes but I’m determined to do it. My question is, do you think I did irreversible damage in the 6 weeks since we’ve broken up or should I still try to get him back?
WTF?!
March 18, 2014 at 1:53 pm
What if your EX calls you and says he didn’t realize how much you mean to him and he misses you so much and cant go on without you. He tells you he broke up with his girlfriend because he cant stop thinking of you..and that she is a horrible person and tells you how wonderful you are. This whole time bawling his eyes out!!! Then the next day pretends nothing happened and goes back to his girlfriend and stops talking to you??? Then what??? I do not get it….

Men confused me….
First off, let me start by saying your blog has help me a lot during my breakup š Thanks for everything…okay
-My ex and I broke up about two months ago. Two weeks after, he started dating again. At that time, he told me he wanted to be friends. I was very depressed and I found your site.
-I went into no contact for 13 days until he texted me saying he was confused of whether he wants to stay with his new gf or get back together with me. I broke my no contact saying he can come back anytime but I’m not waiting forever for him.
-I return to no contact for two days…that’s when he came home (we live together but he stay at his gf house for the past month) to get one item of his. Once again he said the same thing as before. I told him I will help pack his stuff up and move to his gf house and he said No. He wanted his stuff to remain at our place….almost 90% of his stuff his still here including his car I drive around?!
So my question is should I even go back to no contact or should I go to texting the ex boyexfriend? Am I a dumba$$ for waiting around for him. What does he want from me?
Anybody can answer

Hey Chris
I stuck in a dilemma…
So I return to no contact….he contacting me four days ago saying that he is split between a decision: going back to me or staying with new gf of almost two months. He said he loves me and it will rip his “soul” if he never see me again but he doesn’t wanna get hurt again or say with his new gf who does everything for him and is happy with her. What should I do? The situation is driving me crazy. How high are my chances if him chosing me?

Hi Chris , after no contact for two months i reached out to my ex. When we talked he brought up some mistakes i made but didnt admit to anything he did wrong so i let it go. I suggested being on cool terms with him and after telling me some things he said he didnt like that i did again, he agreed to be cool with me. But he told me that he was moving on and I told him that i was completely fine with him moving on and that i wish him the best. So after that day he starts talking to another girl and after only talking for a week they take a kissing picture and they seem kinda serious but i cant tell. But he also said to one of his friends that he ākeeps his instagram comments from other girls up to make me jealousā why would he be worried about making me jealous if he says he is moving on? I havent brought it up to him because I dont want to argue about it.

Few questions about how manĀ“s mind work, iĀ“m wondering where iĀ“m standing at the moment. ( or does these things even matter, really) And please, bear in mind, iām not a stalker – this is a small town.
I have been texting to him only couple weeks now, so i have been keeping our conversations simple and ending conversations. He have new girlfriend.I have had something going on, but I noticed that want my ex back. I tried this before but i wasnĀ“t really ready then. Now i am.
1. I send him a text on one afternoon. it was very good and clever. He answered to me at night from a bar where he was with his new girlfriend and her father having a beer.. he was asking how I was etc. is it good or bad that he was texting to me at that moment?
2. Once again alone in barā¦ texting to me? good or bad. (I never ever text/call while drunk – so, what does men think then?)
3. his new girlfriend has gained lot of weight during relationship. Even on her face has become huge. she really isnĀ“t pretty anymore. How does men feel about that? And she really canĀ“t do her make up, waay too much (i mean really) and extremely messy, Does men notice that kind of thing? And I wasnĀ“t even mean…

I’ve been dated him for little over two and a half years. I broke up with my ex last December and he started to seeing someone else since beginning of last month(February). None of my friend told me about this because they thought I would get hurt and I don’t go on facebook that much. We didn’t talk, text, fb message each other for a month. After a month, I contact him and we met and talked because I thought I should tell him how I felt back then and just wanted him to know that. Seemed pretty fine and we are still remain as friends but doesn’t text me first but answer me positively. He said he still working on to get over me but he said yes when I asked him that does he like her. Also said I can get him over soon, but he has photo on his phone. Told him to delete it because it will be bad if new girl figures it out but he didn’t clearly answer about this. As we all know that there’s obvious risk that his new girl to find it out. This girl is the one he liked before. He didn’t expect to meet her but he did and had those few catch up times and decide to date her. I’m not sure how should I take all these confusing signs. He’s away with her for 3-4days break and that make me nervous what if he really fall in love with her. His fb photos are just bothering me because he seems so happy with her. So I just want to ask “Does he seems still like me or he just moved on?” Is there any chance for me to get him back? I want him to be single because we both know that if one of us is in a relationship then we know that we won’t hang out. He doesn’t reply after certain time or few text going back and forth. So yesterday, while we were text to each other, I sent him a text message that says I really admire that his skills of working on some stuff that I’m bad at, and I just went somewhere today and thought of him so I sent a message about that but ended the conversation because I needed to go to church so told him to talk later. Not sure I’m doing good or not. Not even sure he still has those feelings in me or not. He text me back with those casual answers, so not sure that am I just friend or on the borderline or still likes me. What should I do? I really want him back. This is the worst case because he will leave the states in two months. Thank you for reading this long comment and I really need your help.

Well, today was my no contact day after text him yesterday. And he just sent me text message says how am I doing. This is his usual “poking” phrase that he used to use when we were together. Now, he’s still with her on a vacation for few days and I think I’m going to answer him tomorrow afternoon. But not sure am I doing it right or not.
If I say I don’t care about his new girl but I don’t have extreme negative feeling for her. But what I just worry about is what if he’s really into her.
Thanks, Chris.
(If you give me a little bit of advise and give me a clue of what kind of stage/how my ex feel, then that would be really helpful too tho XD)

My ex and I were together for a little over 6 months. Things moved along quickly, he told me he loved me just after a month of dating and would tell me how lucky he was, that I was amazing and the best gf he had ever had. There were times during our arguments when he would become a text gnat and tell me that I meant the world to him and I was his best friend and he was crying over the thought of losing me. He was so in love with me and it was mutual, but after trying out NC back in October, things changed. He told me the butterflies weren’t there anymore, and that he loved me but not like he used to. I was devastated and the tables turned, and then I became the one who was begging. For a little bit we were fine again, but then got into the biggest fight ever which ended with us saying FU to each other and deleting each other’s numbers, and not speaking for another month.
In January we slowly began to speak again, things were rough and he repeatedly said that he had made up his mind and he no longer wanted to be with me, and we would always just be friends now. But soon we began flirting A LOT and talking all the time. I found out that he did want to try to be together again and he told me he missed me, and everything felt like it was going to be fine again. But then I suddenly found out that he might have feelings for another girl.
I don’t know this girl, and I’m content with that and it bothers me at the same time. I don’t know what she looks like, her name, nothing. All I know is that they’ve been friends for a while, that he had a crush on her in the past, and that she’s never seemed interested until now all of a sudden. He wanted me, but now that she’s shown up, he no longer wants me and now wants to see where things go with her. This caused a huge fight between us, where he said that our arguments always take a toll on him and maybe we should just go back to not speaking so we won’t have to worry about getting my feelings hurt. I told him I don’t want to fight and I just want things to be cool with us, he said he wants the same thing, but I heard from a friend of ours that he said he’s not going to talk to me anymore and now we haven’t spoken in almost a week.
I’m currently doing NC, not planning on talking to him until April 5th lol. I’m just so scared of what is going to happen! How can I compete with a girl who he’s known for so long and is obviously close with, and he’s now interested in? I bet all of his friends like her, and she’s like a breath of fresh air because it’s just been fights with us and he’s never had to worry about that with her š
He did say that he doesn’t think there will ever be another girl who’s there for him as much as I am, but I’m just worried because he’s said so many times now that he doesn’t want me like that and I’ve gotten emotional more than logical with him and I’m just scared of the future. They’re not dating or anything, last I heard she hasn’t even gone on an official date with him yet, but still a girl worries. Does it sound like I could still have a chance despite how he says I don’t?

March 15, 2014 at 4:49 pm
Ok so I’m confused. The last time I texted my ex was on March 5th, and it said one of your text examples after a fight, something like “I know a lot was said the last time we spoke, I look back on our time fondly, I hold nothing against you and wish you the best, etc etc.” but he never replied. At this rate I actually believed he wasn’t going to contact me during NC but at 3 AM today I received a text from him that said this –
“Thought we could be cool and grown and have a good friendship but guess that never happening and it kinda sucks cuz your a great friend but I hope your happy now or at least heading towards finding happiness.”
I mean I’m almost but positive he was drunk, but huh!?!? What does that even mean, Chris? He’s the one who hasn’t been talking to me, where did that even come from?
I’m not going to reply though anyways, I just want to know your opinion on this. I still have like 20 days left of NC :p

March 19, 2014 at 7:50 am
I had to break NC. I was just told today that my ex had gotten into a really bad car accident and it freaked me out so I had to reach out to him to make sure he was alright. I was also told that there was a girl in the passenger seat, I’m assuming it’s this new girl he’s been talking to. He texted me saying that his car is completely gone, and that his ‘friend’ is still in the hospital with a broken neck and fractured back but that he’ll be fine so I should just stop worrying. I told him I’m glad he’s alive and I’m here if he needs anything, and he said thank you & that he appreciates it.
I really don’t know what to do now. I’m all shaken up, I could have lost him forever. I don’t really feel like I have a chance with him anymore to begin with, but it doesn’t change that I still care about him and would lose it if he died. I have a little over 2 weeks left of NC, but just needed to make sure he was alright. Idk how to continue on with this now, when NC is over it would be weird of me to just text him randomly and act as if I haven’t been thinking of him, y’know? What’s your advice?

Hey Chris, it’s been a while since I’ve asked for your help, but I have a big problem…
I did my 30 days no contact back in July/August and have been talking to my ex since September. Things have been all over the place with him, one second I think things are going great then he does a 180 and treats me like I’m worth nothing.
Now, what I’m going to say I know you won’t like, as I’m not suppose to be doing this, but we do hook up… The thing is, when he comes over and after we’ve fooled around, we’ll be lying in my bed just talking and cuddling and in those moments it seems like he cares about me and everything feels right. But, after he leaves, I’ll text him the next day and he acts like I don’t mean anything- he’ll respond to my text, but he doesn’t stay engaged.
I just found out that he’s seeing another girl- he doesn’t know I know about her and I’m positive she doesn’t know about me. I was devastated when I saw this, my heart just sank in my chest. I’ve been trying so hard to reignite his feelings for me, and now he’s seeing another girl… and sleeping with me!
This girl lives in Toronto, which is a little over an hour drive away. On Friday, I texted him asking if he wanted to come over to watch a movie with me, but he told me that he was spending the weekend in Toronto. I asked if he would be back for walking dead and he said he would be, so I asked of he wanted to watch it at my house, which he said “yea sure:)” I told him I would get some chips and asked what kind he would like then I ended the conversation by telling him to have fun in Toronto.
I’m really freaking out now! I don’t want to just give up, I want to show him that I am the better choice, and I believe I am; we’re pretty much the same person and get along really well. I’m really scared that he won’t come tomorrow.
I just don’t know what to do!!? We were suppose to hangout Thursday night, but he never showed up and he didn’t respond to my texts.
I really don’t know what to do, I’m completely lost! I have no idea how to proceed! If he shows up tomorrow, I’ll just be myself and make sure he has a good time, but what do I do if he doesn’t show up? And should I text him today or stay silent and text him tomorrow? I thought that I should say nothing today (since he’s in Toronto with her..) and text him tomorrow by asking what time he’ll be over?
I really appreciate any advice you can give! I’m sorry for being all over the place, I’m trying to stay in a logical mind set, but this just really hurts š

Hi Chris,
I just actually wanted to thank you for your advice and support. I’ve been separated for 4-ish months now, done everything wrong, struggled … No be honest … Failed with the NC. I cried, begged, text-hounded, the lot! Not easy for me to admit. I tried jealousy tactics which backfired with his going rebound and then – typically – I came across your posts.
Lord knows I should’ve looked sooner!
It’s unlikely I’ll reconcile with my ex… I won’t lie …after the hurt we’ve both caused I’d still agree to reconcile if I thought it would be for good but reading your guidance I have recognised the need for time focused on me. I realise now that by focusing on your own self worth and not the actions of the ex, you’re more likely to find your happy place again… With or without the ex.
After seeing my ex today to exchange the last few items, I realise now how my actions have convinced him that we’re better apart. I let my emotions take over and wasted weeks/months on worry when I could’ve implemented these techniques sooner and got myself right – possibly got the guy back.
Your words have offered me an unbelievable amount of comfort these past few weeks so I just wanted to say thanks… And while it’s maybe (ever hopeful!) too late to salvage this relationship, you’ve certainly helped me to understand how guys think a lot better so hopefully I can avoid heartache like this again in the future.
Josie :-))

Dear Chris,
GOOD NEWS!! After dating for three years and breaking up with my boyfriend because of his behavior issues and trust issues with him, I discovered 4-5 weeks after our break up, he is dating his ex. Keep in mind his ex previously left him twice in the past for another guy. Why am I so happy about this? Because after doing the NC rule and expecting him to turn around (I explicity said when he’s ready to come back I’m here to listen), I finally realized that I deserve so much better. Why would I take that jerk back? Even if she’s a rebound (which she is), he KNEW how much she interfered with our relationship and almost single handedly destroyed it. But……he goes back. This ex is desperate too…she has dated THREE guys in the past year and got married to one of them and divorced in three months LOL! Perfect match, eh?
Thank you for all the advice, it helped me power through and the shackles have been taking off! I’m free to do as I want! And as for my ex…wonder how long it’ll take before she leaves him for the third time? Goodbye Chris, it was a pleasure reading your articles. š

March 3, 2014 at 5:08 pm
Hope you can help me with this, because Iād like to know if the NC rule is still applicable to my situation or itās already too late.
I dated this guy for 2 months, and during the first month I let him know I like him too by kissing him back. He was frank about not being comfortable with committing to a girl because of his responsibilities regarding his family (heās the breadwinner) and serving his community. Because of that, I told him I understand him because I also have responsibilities that take a lot of my time (being a breadwinner and a single mom) I canāt have sex with him if he canāt commit.
I let him do most of the work since I feel that Iām the girl and he shouldnāt feel that I like him a lot. I do show him that I appreciate his efforts by thanking him, talking to him on the phone often (but Iāve never called him), and kissing him. We just one issue which is not having enough time to be together, and weāre already lucky if we get to spend 2 hours of dating in a day.
But 2 months ago, we had the chance to meet at my place and we made out. I wasnāt just comfortable doing that at my house and I told him that, because I wanted him to feel that my parentsā house isnāt really the best place to do it. He said before he left that weāll still see each other and exchange text messages. Yet I noticed something strange: he borrowed my laptop to do social networking stuff, checked on his photos and showed one to me, mentioning a female co-worker of his out of the blue. I didnāt feel good about it but I didnāt show him that I was that bothered.
I noticed that after that day of making out, he started disappearing little by littleā¦no text the whole day, then the day after that he just sent me a text that he has a lot of problems. I told him to keep praying, since it was the third time that he told me he has a lot of problems and he didnāt talk much about it when I asked him the first and second time. Days after that I got no texts and I found out later on that during that weekend that we were supposed to meet like always, he went on vacation with his colleagues (and that girl he talked about) and they, not the company, paid for it. It made me feel bad because he didnāt tell me anything about the vacation, and he said money was a big problem to him that time during the first time I asked what his problem was.
When he came back from vacation, he didnāt even explain why he didnāt text me that longā¦he didnāt even apologize. He instead started treating me differently and would just send me general good morning quotations. In person, he was already avoiding me, leaving me hanging. A few weeks after, he and his colleagues went on vacation again (he also paid for his share) and I saw their photos online that he was always beside that female colleague.
What made things worse for me is that I saw him, two his colleagues and the girl in our own hometown. He brought them over and showed them around. I was so curious if he already has a relationship with the girl, and I had the chance to catch them on a double date with the two other colleagues. I could tell with the look on their faces that they never expected me to see them on the spot, yet I didnāt make a scene. I just stared at him and the girl and didnāt make a scandal or confrontation. They canāt stare back at me long enough, so I assumed they were guilty of making me look like a fool for a long time.
Since then, I never made an effort to contact him. He didnāt contact me either, and I noticed that after the incident, he kept creating shout outs online that heās happy and in love (without referring to any girl in particular) and the girl would give comments that werenāt too obvious that theyāre already an item.
What hurts me is that the female colleague is a bit older than me, not the type who has simple needs and wants (he would often say that what he wanted in a girl is simplicity since heās a simple guy), and is too convenient for him that I thought wouldnāt be a challenge to him at all unlike me who he pursued for 5 months (I didnāt like him at first so I would really ignore him). I just donāt understand if my being a single mom was really an issue, since he told me from the start he accepts me for who I am (unless his familyās totally against the idea), or heās just a pathetic flirt. Another is he can make time with her even on weekends, unlike with me before. Yeah sure, she can go out with him even during late nights because she doesnāt have a kid and parents to take care of. I also made it clear to the guy on the first month that we were dating that I can spend time with him late at night only if heās already my boyfriend or weāre with friends (if weāre not yet a couple). I donāt want him to think that I can easily be that comfortable around him and he just might take advantage.
Iāve been doing the NC with him for a week now, but within that period I accidentally bumped into him but I didnāt expect him to show up in the area right then and there. I resisted the urge to stop walking and be approachable so I pretended to be talking to someone on my mobile phone and ignored him as I kept walking. As it happened, I noticed that he looked at me until I turned my back on me. Unlike the past few weeks, he didnāt avoid me as I was going to where he was (since that was the only way I should take to go home) thatās why he was able to look at me as I was ātalking on the phoneā.
Should I still go on considering what happened to us? I want him back because not all guys are open to dating single moms and Iāve fallen in love with him. Iāve been through a lot of failed relationships in the past and I wanted him to be my last, that Iāll end up with him in the near future. I think I would still be open to give him another chance if his reason of cheating was his family wanted him to dump me and look for another girl who doesnāt have a kid.
Please help.

Personally, I don’t think you should dismiss his cheating like that. The guy who dates you should be accepting of your child. Not use it as a “reason” for cheating.

Hey Chris I’ve been reading your guide for a while now and it has been very helpful me an my ex been broken up for only 27 days and he has a new gf. My family has been kind of questioning him on his actions with this new relationship he has but I convinced them not to because it will only make him feel like what he is doing is working in his favor..so about a week ago he sent me a message basically saying he made a mistake by breaking up with me and he wished he can take me back. But I Ignored it because I was doing the No Contact but I broke it because I wanted to let him know not to take any of my family’s comments personal because I wanted to keep the peace…But I Will Be Starting The No Contact over again…But A lot of my friends and family says he downgraded by her looks and “baggage”.Even his family is shocked by the whole thing..And to but the icing on the cake his rebound is a girl I went to High School which I Can Not Lie Lol It Was very shocking..But Anyways Of Course I wanna know just like every other girl is he doing all of this to hurt me or to hide his pain?? Although he did break up with me. Till this day I don’t know exactly why he ended our relationship but I Probably already know the answers but it doesn’t hurt to make sure from a guys point of view

Probably a combo of both.
