lovesick1 Posted June 16, 2014 Posted June 16, 2014 Ex popped in my head earlier today, been a while since I thought of her. Checked her facebook and noticed the guy she left me for she has since moved in with after dating him for almost 2 years. She literally broke up with me and started dating him practically simultaneously... I was kinda always expecting that relationship to crack given it is clearly a rebound and one based on convenience for her- we were long distance. 1
Smthn_Like_Olivia Posted June 16, 2014 Posted June 16, 2014 If she's been with him for 2 years and they are now moving in together, it is clearly NOT a rebound. Forget about her. 1
stillafool Posted June 16, 2014 Posted June 16, 2014 I completely agree. They are going to marry. Please move on.
Author lovesick1 Posted June 16, 2014 Author Posted June 16, 2014 As I thought. Moved on, just curious
witmadskilllz Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 OP, i'm with you on this one as my ex had rebounded and are still going stronger than ever before. Therefore, the absolute strongest NC you'll ever be and forever to maintain your dignity, strength and achieve ultimate happiness. Cheers mate!
Author lovesick1 Posted June 18, 2014 Author Posted June 18, 2014 Wow, this is crazy. Like you I was convinced they were going to marry but they literally broke up just last night... I'm shocked. The irony
Simon Phoenix Posted June 18, 2014 Posted June 18, 2014 Rebounds are like any other relationship -- they can end in marriage, or end pretty quickly. I know people who have married "rebounds".
redbaron005 Posted June 18, 2014 Posted June 18, 2014 Wow, this is crazy. Like you I was convinced they were going to marry but they literally broke up just last night... I'm shocked. The irony Wow, weird. It's like you sensed it.
Mistercash Posted June 18, 2014 Posted June 18, 2014 Wow, this is crazy. Like you I was convinced they were going to marry but they literally broke up just last night... I'm shocked. The irony Now is the time to swoop in for some rebound action and get her back....haha.
Dspawn76 Posted July 10, 2014 Posted July 10, 2014 This is one of those questions that I had pondered on for a long time. My wife of 11 years started taking antidepressants for CHEST PAINS.. (no depression at all, we were in the peak of our M and life building a new business etc) In 3 months she was a different person. What once was a loving, caring wife and mother, became a child again, started drinking and doing drugs, both of which she despised... partying etc. Divorced Feb 5, 2012, Feb 12 she stated "In a Relationship" on Fb with a 19 yo kid. She was 29. Today, they have been married for a month or two. This kid is a complete opposite of me. Opposite of what she used to be attracted to. She's now a narcissist and controlling. Controls everything in his life, as to what clothes to wear, what to do for hobbies, what games to play, etc. She's completely a loon now. And apparently it's going to be this way for good. I will start a thread later explaining more detail about our story... but yes, my ex married her rebound of which she started dating the day of our court date... SHE TOOK HIM TO OUR DIVORCE COURT.... kissed him in the car as they left. So basically ... yeah. Rebound. This is NOT the guy she cheated on me with, fwiw.
love1336x Posted July 13, 2014 Posted July 13, 2014 That happened to my mother. She dated a man for two years. They broke up, a week later he had a new girlfriend and they haven't broke up. Its been nearly 2 years. Another one of my friend. He dated a girl for six months. They broke up. Three days later she had a new boyfriend, and they were together for 2 years. Sometime its rebound. Sometimes its not. All depends.
sugarlove Posted July 13, 2014 Posted July 13, 2014 It'll do you no good to label relationships. Rebound or not, if it lasts, it lasts, If it doesn't, it doesn't. 4
Jiivy Posted July 13, 2014 Posted July 13, 2014 These kind of stories leave me feeling sick - my fiancée left me after 7 years together and hopped in to a relationship with someone else 3 weeks later... As sad as it is, I have to agree with the posters here. There is no label and sometimes they last, sometimes they don't. Running in to a relationship, whether you're the dumper or dumpee so quickly after a previous one (espcially a long, meaningful relationship) in my opinion is really not a very healthy or mature palce to start. It's kind of like building a house on a foundation of sand. Frankly I'd take the fact that they had such a 'long' relationship after you as a very clear message. They didn't really give a **** about you. 2
