I knew three couples that broke up around the same time as me.

 

The are now all in new realtionships, thats six people.

 

The Dumpers and Dumpee. In the span of 8-9 months. These where long-term relationships. People are asking me where is my new boyfriend. I'd love one.

 

But i'm I the only one that thinks these are all rebounds.

 

I dont know, i guess it depends with eveyone. But if you really cared, which you should have, since you where with the person for so long. HOW long do you think is a safe time to start up new, without hurting the other person your in a new realtionship with?

Everyone is different. Sometimes I feel I'm ready for a new relationship and that it will turn things around. Then other times I think I'm not ready and remember my old feelings for my ex aren't gone (and they definitely aren't).

 

The fact I have doubts means I'm not ready for a new relationship. It probably would just be a rebound. It wouldn't be fair on the new partner.

 

A lot of people are OK with getting into a rebound and hurting an innocent bytander. I'm not OK with doing that to anyone.

 

But there are also people, dumpers and dumpees, that would have moved on by now and would be in good healthy new relationships. As I said, everyone is different.

It's not always a rebound. I broke up with one boyfriend (to be fair, we had been fighting a lot for months), and then started dating a good friend of mine the next day. We were together for six years. That's a hell of a long rebound.

HELL NO. I DON'T want a new relationship right now.

 

.....Maybe like a FWB type deal. Definitely not a new relationship unless I'm randomly struck by cupids arrow

 

Id rather be single for a year or 2. Cheer to being single! Cav

 

F*ck now that I've said this and mean it ill probably be the 1st one struck by love lightning and my ex will start trying to communicate with me like crazy lol :)

MUST RESIST..PRINT OUT MORE COPIES OF NC GUIDE AND HIDE THEM STRATEGICALLY.
