Hi. My name is Rose and I've been lurking on the forums for a couple months now but finally decided to pluck up the courage and post. My bf of 2 years and i broke up in early November and so it's been just 2 months since the b/u of a 2 year relationship. he told me at the time and continually for the first month and a half that he still loved me and that he just needed time/space and "for now" was happier/free-er. keep in mind we're both 22 and recent college graduates. he'd been saying for a few months knowthat he wanted a break/chance to experience life on his own. so last month (about 1 1/2 mos after the b/u) he started dating a girl he knew from college and they made it offical on new years day. i was floored. i knew he wanted to experience "life" but didn't think he wanted another relationship. also i'm so confused why HER because she is everything i'm not. i'm conservative/she's liberal. i'm christian/she's atheist. i'm modest/she's openingly sexual. also, two fo hsi bigest passions she hates (football and heavy metal music).
my question, i guess, is...
is it possible that he's over me all together?
or could it be possible she's a fill-in? but why are they in a relationship?
are there any chances of a guy like my ex (erik) "waking up" and coming back? although frankly i'm not sure i want him back now that he's been playing around with this girl (amber)...
also, i just want to thank y'all for helping me out of my depression... i've done NC for one month now and feel AMAZING.
