AwptiK Posted August 28, 2012 Posted August 28, 2012 (edited) First off, I really don't know what i'm seeking advice-wise, this forum helps me clear my head but I do love input when it's offered. After dating all summer, a few days after school started up my ex broke up with me. The breakup was this past Thursday. She just started freshman year (she's 18, i'm 21). The breakup wasn't mutual, but it was understandable... She wanted to focus on school and her father was no help either, constantly preaching, "You shouldn't get all wrapped up in one guy right now, you're young..etc" The relationship otherwise was absolutely fine through it's entirety. I also know she told our mutual friend the night of the breakup, "I just wish I could do both right now...or I could put us on hold for a year and then pick back up." So there was slight hope (no I wasn't gonna wait around), that things would settle in at school and we'd pick up in a few weeks or something. But now, there's a new guy in the picture, one she has classes with at school. According to the same mutual friend, she said, "He's actually a lot like (me)." But she also said, "He's my age though..." just because she feels like she has to justify everything. And even though i'm 21, I don't go out and drink at bars or clubs. I do drink in small groups though, which i've done with my ex a few times.. In summary, the comparison and the quickness make me think it's just a rebound. I know rebounds usually come as opposites, but I think she's trying to get a little bit of me and how I treated her, out of someone else right now. Although i'll admit, similar me + a little added convenience of school...not a great thought. Then again, it's been a few days, who ever really knows anyone after that soon a time? I know NC is the way to go, and from a contact standpoint, we have been NC. I may still talk about it, hear about it, or happen to see her fb status this morning, but i'm at the point where i'm indifferent about the situation. I'm perfectly fine without her and I accept it'll turn out how it's supposed to. Edited August 28, 2012 by AwptiK
Author AwptiK Posted August 28, 2012 Author Posted August 28, 2012 (edited) Well, scratch my entire story. I just found out the new guy dropped my ex like a rock. She hasn't contacted me, but she called the same mutual buddy of ours and said, "You were right about everything" and proceeded to explain that the new guy was using her as a fallback while he was trying to be with a different girl.
