Okay so me and my ex oficially broke up end of October. We were gojng through a rough patch in August september and we decided to work things out. Then a week after deciding to work things out, she said she doesn’t love me anymore and it’s not the same and that I did nothing wrong. Yesterday I found out she’s seeing someone, basically a month and a half after we oficially broke up. Is she using him as a rebound? Btw we were together for 5 years. I’m 24, and she’s 23. Is it possible she will realize what she’s doing isn’t right? Are the chances of her coming back strong?

Have you read my other site, Ex Girlfriend Recovery. It’s more applicable to your situation I think.

Or maybe I was a rebound from a previous relationship?

It’s possible but unlikely.

How long did you date him total?

7 months. He told me he loved me 2 months in the relationship. I wanted to take it slow, he wanted to go fast. He made me out to be the bad guy for it.

Theres nothing wrong with wanting to go slow.

I agree. That’s why I’m wondering if this relationship he is in is a rebound? We have a mutual friend who tells me his past relationships don’t last cuz he’s too needy. And I do see a pattern with conversations I’ve had with him about his past relationships. They end ebrubtly. I guess I blame myself, I saw a lot of red flags.

Hi. Please I need some advices. I have a 6 year old son from a previous relationship. Now I was in a serious relationship with this guy for 1 year and 3 months. Last week he broke it off with me. First he said that he is not good for a woman and that lately he is not feeling happy with me. I was devastated because he was showing me the contrary.. always talking about marriage kids having a house etc… He broke up with me by sending me a message telling me also that he will never find someone like me and that he is going to lose an angel. After 4 days now he is in a serious relationship with an another girl, When I sent him a message he told me that he has no feelings for me and that he left me because he fears that my son will give him trouble when he is old. I really love this men and I am shattered into pieces. Pls is this is rebound? will he realize what he has lost? HELP:(

Define his neediness? He’s retired from the air force so he has a lot of time on his hands. He needed to b with me 247. He always seems mad when I have to leave him to go to work, like hell never see me again. He gets upset when I don’t contact him right away when I get home from work or if I’m late coming over. He stalked me alot. He’s extremely jealous I have guy friends. He takes things too personally if I’m not up for sex. He’s very emotional, which is off for a man. There is so much more, but I’m independent person, and I did my best to please him but it just seemed like it wasn’t good enuff.

Hye. My ex and i just broke up during end of october this year. We been like 8 months . We had great moment each other. We were mutuals and he said knowing me was the best present and thing that happened in his life before. But after we broke up due to huge fight, he said he cant take anymore. And he doesnt love or even like me anymore. He said he was numb that time. I was very very very sad. How could he simply not love me and throw me away? He said he wanted to be friend. After like a week plus, he started being “sweet” and more close with his bestfriend. In fact, a week after break up, he put his picture and his “bestfriend” in default picture of whatsapp and that girl put his picture as her wallpaper of whatsapp and screen shot it and tweet it. Right now, all their friends congrates them as they are boyfriend and girlfriend. In fact, my ex have met this girl’s parents in november. They tweet, they tag each other in facebook and their friends even proud and happy because they are together.

All these like within a month! It means they been together in early november. Is that too soon?? Is this a rebound relationship? He seems like very happy with his “bestfriend”/girlfriend. However this girl is completely opposite me. She is not that pretty, she harshed, she act like a boy but my ex seems comfortable. I dont know what to do. Please help me to get him back.

Hi. Me and my ex were together for 6 months. He broke up, giving no reason. Within one month, he made a gf and he is really serious for her, liking talking all the time to her, rushing to her place just as the college gets over and stuff.
I tried to follow him and asked him, where did I went wrong and he just told me that he wasn’t happy with me. Though we loved each other a lot. And he was the one who told me that he can never love anyone more than me and he did soooooo much for me. And even I did a lot for him. But he never seemed to realize that.
Now, he is in a relationship with a girl and I still wish that it’s a rebound. But I don’t think so, he has blocked me out of everywhere and told me we can be friends after exams.
I want it to be a rebound but, I’m utterly confused. Please help.

How long has he been dating this new girl? Is she still in rebound territory?

Me and my ex (baby father) has been together for three years. Starting last month, I noticed he paid attention to going out with friends, not really coming home much, he ditched my son and I. I noticed him and his female co worker being offly close. She lets him use her car and everything. Last month I seen her writing 5 text messages to his phone and then he got pissed and push me when I seen it. Mind you, she knew about us having a child and being together. So like, 5 days ago I called the police on him for being verbally abusive, and he moved out the house. He was mad at me. Then, I come to find out he told me today, that he had sex with her that day and he doesn’t love me anymore. That he can’t be with me anymore. I was heart broke because I knew it all along. Is this a rebound relationship? He is currently dating her.

My ex and I were together 6 months. We had an amazing intense summer together. His nephew past away and he was devastated. He started acting weird. Needy, possessive, emotional. I understood to a point and tried to help but it wasn’t good enough. Most of our probs was lack of communication and hes very needy, which eas another issue. He broke up with me cuz he claimed I hurt him, when I have been there for him this whole time. after we broke up, he contacted me, wanting to see me, and I refused. The things he said hurt me a lot. We emailed back and forth til I finally had to block him cuz I just couldn’t take the headgames. He put a thank you goodbye card on my car which was a slap in the face for me. And I was done after that. I couldn’t take the pain anymore. We been broken up for a month and I found out he started seeing someone 2 weeks ago. It killed me!!! Is that a rebound? And how long is that gonna last? Keep in mind he is extremely needy. And I tried helping him with that, but it got worse after his nephews passing.

Is he with this other girl?
Naomi

December 2, 2014 at 10:35 pm

Yes he now says they are in a relationship he said she wasnt the reason he left, i believe when he started working again he seen all the people around his age partying and being single, he use to say right up to the day he left that he hated this girl and then like i said 2 days later he was sleeping with her and living with her, as well as working with her, i do know he has got no where else to live as he doesnt really know anybody where we live, the week before he left we were still trying to fall pregnant with our second baby and he was still bringing me home wedding ideas too
Naomi

December 2, 2014 at 10:51 pm

He also still has his profile picture on facebook as him our daughter and me and also still says that we are engaged, he also knows that i know his email password as he had to ask me what it was but still hasnt changed that either, i keep getting mixed signals from him, i havent dont MC yet as i had never heard of it but i am going to start today with that, as when he isnt with his new gf on his days off work we can spend 4 hours straight just texting,
Thanks for helping

Hi Chris,
My ex was the 2nd love of my life and I’m now in my 50th year! (don’t find it easy to fall in love). We were together for 7 1/2 years in total although knew of each other for 2 years before … engaged for 5 years. It was a very intense relationship as we had common work assignments and goals … did literally everything together such as grocery shopping, general clothes shopping, just everything! Split at the end of May 2014 (my decision) and he suddenly announced on facebook (which he rarely used previously) that he was in a new relationship (26th Aug) – got engaged – 30th Aug – married on 15th November!
What the ?? Would love to hear your input on this!

The second love of your life?

December 1, 2014 at 7:49 pm

My ex and I broke up about a Month ago, we have a 2 year old daughter together and we were together for 4…i just recently learned he had slept with another girl and brought her home to meet the family during Thanksgiving plus apparently she met my daughter. I’m very hurt upon this and I’m trying so hard to move on but I still love him

Kayla

December 2, 2014 at 3:04 pm

We broke up because I caught him asking another female for dirty photos and I got extremely mad and told him to get out
admin

December 3, 2014 at 4:34 pm

I kind of consider that cheating… B/c it means he would be willing to if he was asking someone else for those photos.
admin

December 2, 2014 at 2:45 pm

Why did the two of you break up in the first place?

Allison

December 1, 2014 at 9:10 am

I’m making such a long story short. I have dated this guy almost 6 years on and off. We had a son together that will be 4 soon. We broke things off less than 2 months ago. He went to a wedding (I was supposed to be his date and that day still wanted me to go) and met a girl. He started dating her right away. Now they are engaged. Yes, ENGAGED! He has so given me so many signals that he hasn’t moved on. But then I believe maybe they will work. He didn’t even tell me about the engagement. He told me he missed me 4 hrs before he did it. I now here he’s the one pushing the marriage and they might get married within a month. I know she’s not pregnant because I’ve seen very recent photos of her drinking. None of his family knows her and vise versa. His family in fact loves me, and cannot believe this and they don’t approve. They don’t care..what does this mean?! 🙁

Btw..I told him I didn’t want to move on. I told him I want to work out family to work out. He says its to late. But other things he says doesn’t make sense. I need help 🙁

How long was he dating her before he proposed?

Do you know?
Allison

December 1, 2014 at 7:43 pm

Less than 2 months! And I’m hearing he wants to get married asap. I should also tell you every time we break up he goes to another girl as soon as he can then breaks up with her after an average of 4 months. He told me “this sucks” and “I’m sorry” about this. He told me in the beginning he doesnt even want to date her. He got “into a relationship” on fb on my birthday. Just so many things..I’m so hurt by his actions. The worst part is, this girl is going along with it! The day he proposed he told me he had to tell me something. He started with small talk, I finally said what do you have to tell me? He said nothing just checking to see if your ok. I miss you. I said no you don’t. Then we proceded to talk about our past. How he chose this life and he said no that I chose this. Btw this was after I stopped texting him for a week. Also I should add earlier before that week I have asked for him back and he has talked to me for hours in his car. And he would say “what am I supposed to do? Break this girls heart? So this can happen with us again?” I could write a novel

Hey…so my ex and I dated off and on for 2 years. More on but not necessarily “together”. We would hang constantly, sleep together and it was always awesome, I would help with his daughter ect. We jumped super fast into living together. 3 months in and he moved into my new house I had built. Literally 1 month into living together we went to hell. It was nasty. He moved out, started dating a girl immediately, broke up with her, contacted me and we literally did the whole thing over again. This time we hung out for 7 or 8 months before he moved in again. This 7 or 8 months was rocky though! We were extremely up and down. Either awesome oe terrible. I am not saying I am amazing but I really don’t see where I was the problem. He has past relationship issues and family as well. I gave and gave and did all I could for he and his little girl. Loved them with all of my heart and still do. He would tell me he loved me and only wanted me, wanted kids someday, would treat me better, and blah blah. Than 2 weeks later woukd have no feelings for me! What?! This happeNed more times than I care to admit! He would get super close and be great, back off and get mean, get distant, than come back and apologize…..over and over this happened. He would randomly start talking to a new girl and than come back. He broke my heart and any confidence I had….totally shattered me inside. He would call me names, throw things on occassion. I started watching his little girl to help him out and save $. When i was watching her he started getting jealous that i was getting so much time with her. He started treating me bad because of it. He would use her as a pawn. He is the best dad I have ever met though….that is one thing I can say! Anyways….last Jan we just got back to good from a bad phase. We’re having fun….Than out of no where was talking to a new girl. From feb to may we didn’t soeak. He broke up with her and we kinda started to hang out again. We went to sone awesome hotsprings one day, lityke road trip, fished….great day…than he got pissued I said he and my dad would have fun fishing together. He said I was trying to be with him again. I said to him “why do you do this, you love bring with me in every way?!” He agreed to that but said he didn’t want to love it. What the hell?! Weird….right?! So after that he dudnt talk to ne, literally. He blocked my number. I found out he started dating a girl about 1 1/2 months later. He already invited her to his family thanksgiving dinner which is in another town, taking her to placed we used to go, ect. I did soooo much for him and his little girl. I was absolutely unconditional. I do have my demons for sure! I am willing to look at myself though and take the steps to change and be a better person. I would never leave him. I would have stuck around and helped him work through his shit! The thing I lost in all this was my self respect which looking back was terrible!! He has been dating this girl since August and it is now mid to late november. He unblocked me on facebook so I blocked him. He had texted me 3 diff times for stupid reasons, as if checking up on me. Said he would come say hi the next time he was in my neighborhood which is once or twice a month. I recently like I said blocked him on facebook, deleted his number from my phone, blocked him on instagram, and blocked his number through verizon. I guess I am simply venting but wondering what you think about his behaviors? Do you think he is in a rebound relationship?

admin

November 24, 2014 at 4:06 pm

You would sleep with him while you weren’t officially together?

If so, that is a problem since he knows he can get you without you committing.

hello, I am extremely confused about my break up from my ex boyfriend and could do with some help? Me and my ex were together for two years, and for the first year and a half we were very close, inseperable. We were best friends aswell. However, after that he had some bad family news and didn’t cope at all. He pushed me away and ended the relationship. I was heartbroken but there was nothing i could do. i learnt he was hanging out with his ex again and tried my hardest to move on from him. However, about 2 months after we separated, he got back in contact with me after no communication. He initiated all contact and told me he loved me and treat me like a princess, knowing he had done wrong. We stayed friends for a month (my choice) before eventually getting back together. Everything was perfect, no issues at all. We had the odd argument but that was it. We was better than we had been in a long time and he even said that. Then randomly one day out of the blue he texted me saying he didn’t want a relationship no more. No explanation. For the next few days he contacted me each day first, checking how i wa etc. He explained he was confused and just needed space – which i gave to him. However when i tried to contact him a few days later, i got nothing in return. Eventually i found out he had been hanging out with another girl, staying at her house etc. He admitted to me he had grown feelings for her since we broke up. This was only in the space of 5 days?! since then they have been staying at each others places, going out for dinner, giving her his shirts and jewellery. He seems devoted to her. is this a rebound? or is it serious? how long will it last? she has also just got out of a 7 month relationship and seems devoted to my ex. please help!

Hi im really just wondering what your take on this is. I have two kids from a man and we were together on amd off 3 yrs. He left and two months later started a relationship. I tried to get him back but he would have nothing to do with it. Their relationship lasted two months and almost three weeks after he ended it with her he wants me back and is saying he made a mistake and he thought he wanted to move on because he was angry but realized after a month with her she wasnt what he wanted. Should i be worried i am a rebound for him leaving her ? They only dated two months. And we were together 3 years

What was his reasoning for leaving you those three times?

Hi Chris!

Firstly lemme say well done!!! you are doing a good job, I have been dating my man for two yrs, and our relationship was very nice, the last time we got physical it was in January, after that we have been communicating on the phone and we were friends on fb, we never communicated that much between May, June and July, but I was aware of all the things that he was doing on fb with other girls, it really hurt me so much that I decided to block him so that I can nnot see what he was doing..but later unblock him. Then he blocked me completely and sometime in August, we started talking (I called him first), he said he wants to work things out but there is another person in the picture and it is going to be difficult for him to leave her. We started arguing on the phone and I asked him why did he agree to work things out with me whereas he knew there was someone else. He accused me of having issues and that I am stalking his girlfriend on fb. I heard from close friends that he is always updating status on fb declaring his love for her, I even saw it myself on my friend”s phone and I must say that it really hit so hard! he even got this chick’s photo as his profile pic, he got her photos all over facebook and they even went to a music en=vent together, he didn’t exactly told me to break up with him. I am so confused, hurt, humiliated and embarrassed. Is this a rebound or should I just move on? Please help me Chris.

My ex and I just broke up not even 2 months ago and already jumped into a relationship 3 weeks after he broke up with me. Is it a rebound? I saw him and we talked and I told him I loved him and he started crying and said he’s in a relationship and doesn’t want to hurt the girl. He also cried and said he was confused. I don’t know what to do!! HELP! Oh yea and we lived together for 2 years..

My boyfriend of 4 years broke up with me 2 weeks before Christmas, giving a bunch of reasons that didn’t make any sense. I have not had any contact with him since the split, except maybe to say hi in passing. Before we even considered dating we were friends for 20+ years. (I was in his wedding) I just found out that he is seeing someone else. From what I can gather they have been together since the first part of July but I’m guessing that it started sooner. The kicker is he dated this person a few times before we decided to “upgrade” our friendship. What he would tell me about her (because we were friends) wasn’t very good. He said she was clingy and had an issue with our friendship. He broke things off when she accused him of doing things and being places he wasn’t. The term he used once was regarding her was CRAZY. My questions is WHY her? Is he rebounding and was she just an easy guarantee he would have someone? What are the chances of him returning? Should I just cut my losses and move on? Thanks for your thoughts.

What were the reasons he gave you for the breakup that you didn’t think made sense?
Wendy

October 3, 2014 at 3:56 pm

He was a selfish person and this was something he had to do. He felt smothered. (We had been living together for 2 plus years) He didn’t think I was happy and could be happier. Oh but he said that I was good to him and he will always love me. Guess he thought that would make it easier. I’m sure he said some other bs stuff but I can’t remember because it came out of nowhere.
