pillowtalk Posted June 25, 2011 Posted June 25, 2011 Here's a story about a rebound relationship that's still going after three years. It's about a friend of a good friend. Basically, the couple broke up. They were very much in love. He cheated on her, though I don't know if she ever knew that. The breakup was a accumulation of various things. She moved away, but they still were obviously very connected and in love with each other. He started dating a new girl. For the first year of the relationship, he was heartbroken over his ex. And even still into the second year, he had feelings for the ex, and those feelings were returned. But now it's almost been three years he's been with his current girlfriend. Perhaps he didn't have that passionate in love feeling with her as he did with his ex, but he does love her and care about her deeply. I'm actually going to meet this couple in a couple of weeks! So for those people whose ex's jumped into another relationship, the point of this story is just to say that none of us really know what the other person is going through, even if their actions may indicate something different. So even if your ex rebounded and is still in a relationship with them for months or even years, it doesn't necessarily mean everything is 'perfect.' It's best just not to even question it. Feelings and emotions after a breakup are complicated, and nothing is ever as it seems from the outside.
Melting Posted June 25, 2011 Posted June 25, 2011 I feel sorry for the current partner and he is a cheater too..............
Sim54 Posted June 25, 2011 Posted June 25, 2011 Not everyone who cheats, continues to cheat. i cheated when I was very young (early 20's). I would NEVER do it now.
cjones22 Posted June 25, 2011 Posted June 25, 2011 I'm in this situation now. My ex jumped in another relationship and they are moving in together. Yet he still comes around my work. What we had was intense, something I'll never forget and am still getting over and dealing with pain. I know we aren't good together, but as long as I know it was a big deal to him as well, it makes my pain not feel so worthless in a way
Sim54 Posted June 25, 2011 Posted June 25, 2011 My ex moved in with a guy 7 years younger than her pretty quickly after we broke up and they got together. There are no rules. And people do whatever they feel is right.
Carus Posted June 25, 2011 Posted June 25, 2011 Here's another one: Toward the end of our RS my ex 'met' another guy. She left me to be with him and they are still together today, 2 years out.... I am still alone as it takes some time to recover from something like that, especially if it is a LTR and your love is still strong.... I am glad to see this thread as it was all the 'Rebound Theories' that kept me hanging on for much much longer than I should have.... Since it's been 2 years I am sure the honeymoon stage has long since passed and they are into the daily grind of their RS, but after all the theories and over analysing etc, the reallity is she is with him and not me.... I worked through a LOT of pain and have forgiven her, and myself, long ago.... Are they happy? Do they argue a lot? Are they even still in the country? I will never know becoz that is the beauty in NC* Ever Forward Carus* 8-)
