What Does The Dumpee REALLY feel???

[Sadly Mistaken]

Does a dumpee still have feelings for his ex even if he's seeing someone else? Particularly if he has tried to get back together with his ex and is still flirting and talking with them?

Or is it simply a case of his moved on but wants to keep his options open.

its hard to break up with someone, but your ex is probably feeling some of the same emotions as you. The reason he is seeing someone else/flirting with you is because he is confused and doesn't want to let go. It takes a lot of strength to decide to stop seeing someone and then just be alone for awhile. It sounds to me like hes not strong enough to let go and take the world on his own.

i think you can have complicated and confusing feelings for people. this includes after a break up, if you loved someone. if a dumpee feels like they were dumped and didn't have any control over the situation, then i can see them still having feelings for the dumper, even as they move on. it seems important for their happiness to move on with someone new or to work on themselves, though... as the dumper did dump them and there probably isn't really a future for them with that person.

I can see where your coming from, i even thought about getting together with somoone just to make him feel i wasn't a loser and alone, but my heart wasn't in it and it wouldn't have been fair on the rebound guy. I was the dumper but trust me i do not feel proud or better than my ex, just sorry and confused.:sad:
