Yeah the feeling sucks but look at this way: Singleness is a time to grow as a person, an individual, a time of self-discovery. Which in turn, will allow you to make better relationship choices in the future. If your ex is getting new partners quickly, well... just shows they aren't an independent person and can't handle being alone and will probably continue to make the same stupid mistakes over and over. ;)

[–]look_under_here 6 points7 points ago

Thats good advice I will definitely keep that in mind when Iam meeting new people at bars

    As someone who just got out of a two year relationship and my ex was dating someone else 6 days later, I can confirm this.

    [–]Neverendtillbegin 32 points33 points ago

    I know that feel bro. Dated ex for 3 and half years. Found out 6 months before our break up that she was texting this guy, we got in a big fight assured me it was absolutely nothing. Week later after she told me this relationship was too hard for her and she just needed be single and free... she starts dating him. But fast forward 7 months she now writes me 2 page messages begging to be part of my life. I feel like a fucking champ and always reply with the same thing "LOL"

    I always write "aww" when i get those texts from the exes.

    [–]amayernican 148 points149 points ago

    She probably started that relationship before you broke up.

    [–]MeatIsMeaty 52 points53 points ago

    This is the sad truth. Maybe it wasn't a relationship per se, but they probably both knew that they wanted each other.

    [–]dialupmoron 42 points43 points ago

    I was in a relationship for about a year and a half. After the breakup they were with someone else within a week.

    I was mad at first, and obviously quite sad, but then I realized our relationship had ended long before the official breakup. I wasn't a good partner and was absolutely blind to this fact. We were simply wrong for each other. I hypothesize this may be the case for many relationships that end like this.

    [–]Azael_the_Tiefling 2 points3 points ago

    As someone who dated too soon after being dumped after 2 years I can confirm this. I just want everyone to be happy but she still feels like she owns me.

    [–]Stoli 2 points3 points ago

    Being on the other end of this, it's nice to see this posted.

    I started dating arguably too soon after my previous relationship officially ended, but the breakup process started several months back. I had severed emotional ties long before, and when a new opportunity presented itself I felt ready to begin a new relationship even though it was shortly after the official breakup.

    [–]snickles19 1 point2 points ago

    She finally had the chance.

    [–]MeatIsMeaty 6 points7 points ago

    They finally had the chance.

    FTFY

    Let's keep the misogyny to a minimum.

    [–]faurette 3 points4 points ago

    It's not really misogyny. He probably would've said "He finally had the chance" if we're talking about a guy who cheated.

    [–]snickles19 2 points3 points ago

    Yes I'm sorry, her and the new boyfriend had a chance*

    [–]SparkitusRex 9 points10 points ago

    My ex and I had been together for a year. He was a complete douchebag who emotionally abused me and neglected me, and expected me to sit around and wait for him to want me. He didn't want me sexually or emotionally, he just wanted me as a trophy. It took me a year to figure this out.

    I dumped him and one week later I found a guy who wanted me physically, emotionally, mentally, and every way you could possibly imagine. He swept me off my feet and we've been together for five and a half years since.

    Sometimes the girl isn't the scumbag, sometimes you just find someone better suited when you don't have the looming "I'm taken" over your head.

    Not to say lschmidt814 is a scumbag or anything, because I'm sure he's a perfect gentleman, but don't immediately blame the dame.

    [–]Stoli 0 points1 point ago

    Well put, SparkitusRex. I know that feel.

      Not always true, I'm gonna be that asshole that started dating a girl 4 days after a breakup and it wasn't started before my ex and I broke up. It just happened somehow.

      Also, she broke up with me and I wasn't prepared so it wasn't like I wasn't heartbroken

        Hey, are you me from 3 years ago? I dated my first love for 2 years in college and, after we broke up, she got into a relationship with a dude who lived two doors down from me less than a week later. This past summer she just got married to that same guy, actually! They look really happy and, and I'm being honest here, I'm genuinely happy for them. Hard to hold a grudge towards an ex when the person they (maybe) left you for is quite possibly the love of their life.

        Live and let live, brother.

        [–]imkidcable 1 point2 points ago

        Not sure if genuine advice....or opposite.

        [–]bizarro_barbie 0 points1 point ago

        Yup, thats how I feel in the end. I realize I was pushing them away and never really would have been happy anyways, regardless of whether I am rationalizing my end point of view tends to be "better them than me, hope they are happy."

        [–]Add4164 16 points17 points ago

        2 years of relationship, she was dating 1 week later

        [–]slothzen 16 points17 points ago

        To me, this smacks of the type of person who has to be with someone. When my 5 year relationship ended I carved a cubby of despair and huddled in darkness for a month. Then I celebrated my freedom with reckless abandon, and it felt awesome. That's how it's done.

        [–]offwiththepants 2 points3 points ago

        Some relationships die a slow death. It's not like all relationships are awesome all the way up to the end. My last relationship died a slow death... he started nitpicking everything about me, was negative, and always had some sort of issue. I broke up with him and then called up a friend for booty call and immediately started dating other guys. I didn't want a relationship mind you.... I had just gotten out of one. I just wanted to have fun.

        Sorry to break it to you, but this is how the real world works. I once had fantasies about finding true love when I was a teenager or in my early 20's... but that is hard to find, it's quite rare.

        [–]Stembio 1 point2 points ago

        My roommate's relationship with his fiancee just ended. Ah, how well I know the cubby of despair. I consider it a successful day if I get him to eat at least 500 calories.

        [–]musenji 0 points1 point ago

        When you said "That's how it's done" I thought of Rocky in the last movie:

        "You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t about how hard you hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done!"

        As someone who got out of a three year relationship and my ex was dating someone two weeks before we broke up, I'm still a resentful, cynical bastard.

        [–]bizarro_barbie 0 points1 point ago

        You and most guys I encounter man. I am in a city of heart broken guys who stomp on 3 hearts to justify having one broken. I spot that pining, lingering, "woes me" shit a mile away.

        [–]jp2323 2 points3 points ago

        Damn, I was in the exact same situation, but then i figured out she started the relationship before ours ended, and the new guy is closeted, so she left me for someone who doesn't even like her, but uses her as a beard...whatever, she was a bitch anyways

        [–]bluthru 4 points5 points ago

        Girls are like monkeys: They don't let go of one branch without grasping onto the next.

        (Is this a generalization? Yep. However, is it more common amongst girls than guys? Yep.)

        [–]ElevenReds 32 points33 points ago

        doesnt have the same effect when she starts dating someone else the same week

        [–]asshold 38 points39 points ago

        Or if she starts dating someone before you break up.

        FML.

        [–]amayernican 16 points17 points ago

        I know that feel.

        [–]tehkyle5k 4 points5 points ago

        Or when your wife has a boyfriend before you're divorced. Feels all around.

        [–]BPenguinfire 4 points5 points ago

        Happened to me this fucking week. This whole thread is making me angry and sad.

        [–]iTimmeh 2 points3 points ago

        My ex is like that. She'd go from guy to guy within a few days of break up. Odd part is it, wasn't a boyfriend of a few weeks, but usually years. She'd rid of emotion easy.

        [–]Stembio 8 points9 points ago

        I have a friend who does this. What happens is that she stays in the relationship long after she no longer likes the dude, and won't break up with him until she has a new relationship all lined up. She doesn't cheat... physically. But she lays all the necessary groundwork to assure that she won't ever be actually single.

        Did I mention that she is a diagnosed sociopath? I always want to shake the dudes, yelling "YOU ARE NOTHING TO HER BUT CASUAL AMUSEMENT! GET OUT BEFORE SHE EATS YOUR SOUL!"

        [–]meiam001 5 points6 points ago

        I call girls like that monkeys because they have to have a hold of one branch before they let go of the last.

        [–]iTimmeh 4 points5 points ago

        That describes my ex. She had a "friend", who she totally didn't like "that way." Lo and behold we break up and she dates him.

          wat.

          [–]Pogotross 3 points4 points ago

          So your ex was dating two dudes: One you didn't (necessarily) have any other connection to, and one you did have a connection to. That connection being he was secretly engaged to a married lady, who I assume was your wife (if "was I marry to" means "who I was married to" not "who was married, too.")

          Basically (assuming hetrosexuality):
          Ex has two dudes, Tom and Dick.
          Tom has (at least) ex.
          Dick has Ex and Wife.
          Wife has Dick and Jorgemeister.
          Jorgemeister has wife and need of lawyer.

                    [–]daznificent 13 points14 points ago

                    Mine just had a baby with the girlfriend he had after me (as in there have been multiple). Did the math, she conceived around the same week we last had sex. :(

                    [–]imkidcable 16 points17 points ago

                    Why are you letting that get you down now? The poor bastard is stuck with a poop-machine and won't get laid until the kid leaves the house at 18. You're the winner in this scenario.

                    [–]daznificent 13 points14 points ago

                    Because feelings are irrational. I'm glad I don't have a baby, but it still hurts because he couldn't even wait a week.

                    It's even worse when they start a new relationship right after you guys break up with a guy she always 'disliked'.

                    More like "He's creeping me out, tell him to stop bothering me."

                    My ex 'transitioned' into a new relationship while we were still together.

                    Happened to me twice, but it's fun to turn them down when they come back to you right after they realize they made a big mistake. Chin-up, bro.

                    [–]carouselderby 6 points7 points ago

                    If it makes you feel better, it's only a rebound. At least, that's what you can tell yourself.

                    [–]adharma[S] 6 points7 points ago

                    She's now in a relationship with the guy that ruined ours. Yay. <,<

                    [–]carouselderby 17 points18 points ago

                    Well, he's dumb and stupid anyway. You know who's awesome? You are! And cut off all communication if you haven't already (block both on Facebook, delete her number, etc.). Out of sight isn't necessarily out of mind, but will definitely help.

                    Did I mention that you're awesome?

                    [–]adharma[S] 9 points10 points ago

                    You. I like you.

                    [–]kdpha 11 points12 points ago

                    That's the rebound talking.

                    [–]Filthybiped 4 points5 points ago

                    carouselderby is right. It will definitely help. Also, adharma, this is a good time to get more active. Get out and do things. Keep your mind busy with projects and shit you've kept on the back-burner. Keeping yourself busy is the best remedy for a bad break-up.

                    Bonus: Getting more fit/getting cool stuff done is awesome non-harmful revenge while being positive for yourself!

                    [–]adharma[S] 3 points4 points ago

                    Hit the gym, delete facebook, acquire lawyer. Gottit. Minus the lawyer.

                    [–]Filthybiped 1 point2 points ago

                    I completely forgot about that one but it is pretty spot on! I hope the lawyer bit is unnecessary in your case though! Best of luck to you!

                      Yo, MikeL! I know exactly how you feel, and it's not funny at all. But it will get better. Just be strong and cut her out of your life. This will probably be tough to do because you guys used to be really close and talk to each other everyday. But things changed and now you are in a completely different situation with her. You no longer have that same bond that you used to when you were together. Savor it for what it was and leave it as is, untouched. You will always have the good memories and nobody can take those away from you.

                        As a side note, kids at WWE events are hilarious. They take what happens, and the crowds reaction to it, personally.

                        [–]jsn0x 3 points4 points ago

                        I hate to be a dick, but I'm (hopefully) about to be that ex! I just met someone who shares so much in common with me it's almost scary. There is some chemistry there too. Hoping for the best here.

                        Back to the ex- fucking bitch cheated on me damn near 5 months ago. She was a master of emotional warfare... Even though I was the most depressed and unhappy I'd been in my entire life for the last 6 months of our relationshit (we had been together for 6+ years), I was failing school, AND losing my friends over her I still stayed with her. Hell, I was even depressed for 3 months after we broke up. The bitch ruined me for the most part of a year. Fucking first loves. I learned many life lessons though, and I'm a better person now because of her, but she can still rot in hell.

                        Well, of course she does. She's a pretty (yet totally insane) girl, I'm a big, hairy slightly cynical dude. I can be happy if I ever have a relationship again.

                        i would imagine (can't speak for experience) that it wouldn't be as difficult to see your ex date someone else if you were the one who did the dumping.

                        Speaking from personal experience it really depends on the context of the breakup and less on whom broke up with whom.

                            What's worse, if you're a heterosexual male, is that your ex-partner's next relationship is a matter of whenever she wants one, whereas your next relationship is a matter of whenever you can get one.

                            Feelings of men....They have them.

                            This feels bad, bro.

                            Saw my ex with her new dude.

                            They have a dog together.

                            feels bad.

                            I was the ex, but HE broke up with me. When he found out I was getting married, he tried to get me to have a last "hurrah" sex with him for old times' sake. I told him good bye and to have a nice life. He responded by insulting me and my soon-to-be husband. I definitely got the last laugh.

                            Yo it sucks but at least you get confirmation that there's no chance of you guys getting back together! Huge weight off my shoulders not having to hope for that. Then you can just delete them from FB and your phone and shit and eventually you'll move on and have to think about them all the time.
