Yes, moving on is the healthiest option but unfortunately 9 months later and I have not been able to even though we have barely talked in 5 months.

So, I am wondering if anyone knows if your ex (in my case ex BF) has been dating someone & else seems serious from the outside at least, have they ever wanted to get back together after ? Or know of any friends who this has happened to?

I just can’t give up hope. We were so perfect together and serious for years. I thought he’d regret it and now he’s with another younger girl for the past 5 months. They seem to be so serious and moving so fast but he took almost a year to even officially call me his gf.

I thought after my ex (of 3 yrs together) broke up with me out of the blue he’d realize the grass isn’t greener, there’s no one better, etc. he even told me he hoped to regret it. Well, he found a new gf not even 3 months after we broke up and they’re still dating a few months later now. Really upsetting that he probably feels validated in breaking up. I tried to be such a good gf and we had such a good relationship I can’t stop wondering what she has that I don’t.

It’s so weird talking to an ex who you once told everything to, talking about surface level things , catching up on stuff you normally would’ve known about the minute it happened, and acting completely ok even though I’m still hurt from the breakup :/ while he’s moved on and fine

I am really taking this comment to heart. When I found out my ex bf who broke up with me had a new gf I was upset and asking him questions and he said “don’t I deserve to be happy?” And that hurt because it makes it seem as if he was never happy with me over the years and she makes him much happier. Or that he can only be happy without me / is happier without me. I can’t stop replaying this comment of his even months later.

My ex bf broke up with me 8 months ago now after a ~3 yr relationship. We stayed close for a while then he started dating a new girl and things got a bit messy/ I reacted a lot and have been blocked for a few months. Yet I somehow still have hope we will end up back together one day. I can’t imagine my life with any other guy and I really don’t understand how he’s with another girl there’s no way it compares to what we had. He seemed like he regretted the breakup at first too. I feel like after some time passes maybe he’ll regret it again. We also live in the same area.

My ex broke up with me 8 months ago and is seeing someone else. At first I 100% thought we’d get back together and now it’s hard to imagine but I also am hoping it doesn’t last with this new girl. I was with him about 3 years and we were really serious the breakup was completely out of the blue (he didn’t meet the new girl until after our breakup). I am wondering if it’s possible he still changes his mind eventually

If it’s even possible. Any tips would be appreciated. I do have friends who I hangout with but of course it’s not the same and they have their own lives. My ex and I would see each other every day, sleep over most night, text and call all the time. Now there’s so many empty moments. Even when I’m with people sometimes I feel empty and lonely just knowing I can’t see him later or text and call. It’s been months so I thought I’d be used to it by now but I’m not. It hurts worse to know he has a new relationship now so he doesn’t have to feel this same loneliness that I’m feeling at all.

I feel like I’ve seen a lot saying the next girl is a distraction or rebound but also only heard stories of them staying with the person after you. Anyone experience and ex dating the next girl after you for more than a few months and then breaking up still ?

My ex bf broke up w me out of the blue after years together. A few months later he started dating another girl. I’m really worried (selfishly I guess?) that he’s found everything , he thinks she’s perfect and amazing and maybe he’ll marry her (we always talked of marriage and I was supposed to move in w him), and that I’ll be alone forever. I still haven’t found anyone I like even enough to go on a second date with. I thought at least being single I’d have all these guys trying to start something with me but it really hasn’t been like that at all. Yet for him his perfect girl just falls into his lap within a few months?

My ex bf blocked me a few months after the breakup due to wanting more space. We dated 3 years and had a rlly healthy relationship overall. He’s had me blocked for about 4 months now. Personally I think it’s extremely rude if he were to never unblock me it’s literally him acting as if I never exited or mattered to him. I understand the need for some space but based on him texting his other ex happy birthday every year after their breakup I would feel hurt if he continues to keep me blocked and not even check in to see how I am or anything over time. There was nothing like cheating or anything awful that happened.

Never unblocking seems like an extremely rude and selfish thing to do on top of breaking up with me out of no where after years. I feel like I have no value to him as long as I’m blocked.

I really feel like my ex bf was perfect. I don’t have other personal experience to compare it to because he was my first bf (22-25 while we dated) but he made me so happy. We weren’t toxic at all. Sure, he took a while to fully commit (11 months “talking exclusively” without the label till he asked me to be his gf) but he was so loyal, kind to me and everyone else his family, strangers, he was the type to always tip, give money to homeless, save stray animals, wouldn’t hurt a fly. He’s smart with a good job good ethic. Always looking out for me. Always invited me out with his friends and wanted me to meet them. We could both go out with our friends separately too and no one was questioning the other or anything we had a lot of trust. I read about some pretty bad exs / relationships on here and it makes me feel more down about my prefect ex breaking up with me. I thought our relationship was so healthy. He did have some severe mental health issues which id never know if he didn’t tell me but ultimately ended up ending things with me due to our conflicts being too much stress for him. In my opinion they were normal couple arguments occurring every now and then. nothing big and definitely not with ending things over.
