Is My Ex-Boyfriend Doing a Rebound Relationship? - Krissie - 03-15-2014 03:51 PM
Hi I just wanted to know if my ex boyfriend of 3+ years is doing a rebound relationship as he started dating ASAP only after about a month we broke up. We broke up in October and then he started dating a new girl by end of November and he now claims that he is in love again.
It hasn't been too long but all of a sudden he is now posting Facebook pictures and is creating status about her whereas I see some of them because our family members and friends are still connected with us and he gets tagged by some of the photos.
I just wanted to know what happened here as he suddenly started doing these things in which he has not done with me when we were together. By the way, he was my first love. we broke up, then got back together after 6 years, then broke up again for the second time. Just wondering how is he able to jump into a relationship while throwing away everything about us in a month?
He also broke up with me because he said that he wants to find himself and he wants to see if he can do better (yeah right, the most common excuse, i know!)
Thanks for your advice!

First loves suck, seems like you can never forget them. But it sounds like he's on a rebound, same thing happened to me a year ago. I definitely wouldn't get back together with him if he tries unless you want to have a bad break up again.

Maybe from his perspective, he didn't "throw everything away." Maybe the second attempt just made him realize why you two didn't work out the first time, and he's been able to move on because that realization enabled him to let you go. I know it's not what you want to hear, but you need to at least accept the fact that he takes this new relationship seriously, and start moving on with your life instead of wondering when he's going to come back.
