im still trying to wrap my head around the fact of how someone use to depend on you so much doesnt need you at all anymore.

 

I agree. Its like.. We've been together for a long time and now, there he is flirting or dating other girls. How come he just ignore the person who's always been there from the start. :|

One of my exes told me that his gf of 3 years dumped him for particular reason and it came out of the blue.

It's not a gender thing, it's a dumper thing. Trying to paint it as a male thing or a female thing is inaccurate.

Obviously it depends on the guy, but I think guys are generally better at putting forward the image of having moved on because it's less socially acceptable for a guy to be crying to his friends over a tub of chocolate ice-cream 4 weeks after he broke up. He'll be told 'plenty more fish' and expected to just get on with things. With women, there's more of an expectation that she'll be upset and need time to grieve.

 

I think as a result of this, many guys have a tendency to leap into rebound relationships straight away. (I remember back in the days when I was stalking my ex, I logged onto his fb to find out what was going on his head, to discover he'd been emailing his friend to boast about all the girls he'd met OLD and how great everything was, and how happy he was in his new life. Needless to say, it didn't last and all came crashing down eventually).

 

So although it sometimes looks as though guys have moved on faster, it doesn't mean they actually have.

 

Except that maybe it's best to fake it till you make it anyway. I like the guy approach.

Almost 2 years after the break up (after a 4 years relationship),tried to have a rebound but i realize it was like that when I texted my ex that my dog was died before than the rebound gf... Broke up the rebound in june,had other one night stands,but i don't want any relationship.

Another friend of mine was dumped in january after a 1.5 year relationship and still not over her.

If you think it is easy for guys to move on from relationships, then you've never really hooked a man. If I am genuinely into a girl, I am devastated when it ends. And then it is NC and onto the 7 stages. Nothing easy about it.

How can a guy be engaged a long time and the dumpee and still move on quickly?
