Is posting on Facebook immature? Or sign of a lasting relationship?

Me and my ex has been broken up since October. He is in a new relationship - one which I don't believe is a rebound.

 

From what I can gather they met on a Saturday and posted they were in a relationship couple of days later and have listed the Sunday as their anniversary.

 

It has been just over 2 weeks now, and they seem to spend everyy waking second with each other.

 

Constantly tagging each other in places, posting new photos every day (having kissing photos as their profile pictures). Saying they have never been so happy. How lucky they both are.

 

She has introduced him to all her friend and he has been given the "seal of approval"

 

He dedicated a song to both her and his mum and told them to listen to the lyrics because that describes how hes never felt so happy.

 

It just seems a little too much by anyones standards. I don't see why they couldn't have gone on a couple of dates first and then got into a relationship? Or why they feel the need to tell the Facebook world how amazing their relationship is?

 

Last time I looked it wouldn't have surprised me if they were engaged. Btw they are both almost 30 - so not teenagers.

 

It looks like they are the love of each others lives and are soulmates.

 

Or is this too much too fast and maybe heading for the crash and burn effect?

It could be serious, they are old enough, though this sorta behaviour makes me want to throw up in my mouth a little.

 

Why are you doing this to yourself?

I know I am torturing myself for no reason. I have blocked him and her now.

 

He fell in love with me after 2 weeks ... and he's been married before - it lasted for a year.

Some people pretend to have a different life for show on facebook yes, others are more real. There is no way for you to know which one. I'm sorry for your pain and blocking was the best. Besides, whether they got married or broke up the next day would have no impact on your personal life really, would it?

Stop. Just stop. Blocking obviously isn't enough since you're still obsessing.

 

Who cares. Its only been two weeks. You going to do this the entire relationship? Learn how to block these thoughts or at least when you see them pop up, force yourself to think of other things.

Thank you!

 

This is obviously, what I need - a good dose of a reality.

 

To me it is definitely one of those relationships that in a short space of time will either end up - moved in and engaged or it will crash and burn.

 

 

Either way it doesn't matter and I need to stop obsessing about it.

 

I lost my job recently and I have too much free time, and it's hard not to obsess about it.

Yeah, been there myself, you feel like c**p is hitting you from all directions. Sports/workouts are you friend in need like this :)

Eugh!

 

I would have a total breakdown if I had to see my ex and his new girlfriend in a new relationship on FB.

 

I have decided that NC also encompasses not looking at his FB or twitter.

 

It's essentially impossible. I don't really believe people who have to act out their relationships on social networking sites tbh!

 

Good luck- try not to look
