nostalgicx Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 My boyfriend (now ex) of almost 3 years and I broke up almost 5 months ago. We are both 20. We broke up because he wanted some time to “find himself”. We have not been in contact for 4 months since I found out he had a new girlfriend. While the initial shock and pain was terrible, I have since learnt to accept that this is the current situation. I have removed him from my social media sites and have been getting on with my life, while trying to “disappear” from his. This is difficult as we have many mutual friends and live relatively close. Recently, some mutual friends have been expressing concern as he has withdrawn almost completely from his immediate social circle. It appears as though he attends social functions by himself as none of our mutual friends have met his new girlfriend. I am hesitant to label her a rebound however there are a few red flags – e.g. she was the first person available to him after our break up, she is the complete opposite of me, photos of him show weight gain and lack of enthusiasm, photos of us still together on his social media sites (friends have shown me these photos) while there is no acknowledgement of the new girlfriend. My friends were at a birthday a few weeks ago that he attended, they reported he looked as though he’d “let himself go” and that he was drinking rather heavily, this struck me as odd as he wasn’t a drinker throughout our relationship. I am moving on with my life, and am definitely not in the same state of depression I was in the days and weeks after our break up. However I am still hoping that I will hear from him again. My question is, in cases such as this, how common/likely is reconciliation?
