My ex and I were together almost 3 years. Broke up in March, got back together a month later for about 3 more months. He starts seeing a girl @ his new job where he's making more than double what he was making a year ago at his old job. He's become very materialistic and narcissistic. He likes to spend money in front of her to impress her but he never did that with me because I accepted him for who he was and didn't care how much money he made. I loved him no matter what. This new girl is just into money. I found out that they're shopping for houses together after dating for 4 months. Is it normal to want to buy a house together after 4 months? Especially if the girl is a rebound relationship? Problem is is that I'm still very much in love with him (the old him). Is it really possible that he's truly in love with someone and already knows that he wants to make this huge commitment of buying a house together after breaking up with me 5 months ago? I feel like I've been kicked in the stomach. It really hurts and I'm heartbroken.

Buy a house with the rebound chick? After four months?

Mama mia! TIME OUT. This woman should be just coming off probation. I'm barely likely to by clothes with her, much less a house.

That's just a little wacky. He needs to slow down.

Damn, that sucks. You have to cut this guy loose. He's trying to prove something to himself after a break-up, so you should let him. Don't let him prove it (whatever it is) to you.

He's probably just mixed up from the breakup and in lust, with his head swollen. You don't need a guy like that. Make a clean cut and move on -- maybe try a couple of flings yourself. Give youself space and a few months, with a new focus, if you can. When something like this happened to me, I had to remind myself that it was pride that was hurting me, not heart.

You can do better than someone who walks with a strut, flashing cash. Good luck :)

Here's the deal, he's YOUR ex for a reason. Your the one that's heartbroken and sad, you just need to step back and let the chips fall where they may! Whose to say, which is the real him, people change all the time. Our Reality is all about perception. He sounds very immature and unstable, so you might consider yourself lucky! Move on.and quit worrying about him and concentrate on you and what it is that you want!

Well part of the reason your so hurt is because you're stuck on his relationship. He's your ex, and clearly he's moved on so what are you waiting for? Ignore him and his gold digger! If its meant to be it will be, so just let things happen. Itll hurt you more if you know details about him and his new girl so make a point of it to ignore them. Don't listen to what you hear, you're better then that and should live your own life. Get over him. keep yourself occupied and keep your mind off of him and maybe then itll be possible to move on too

Whether it's a rebound relationship or not (it IS possible). , or if he's just doing this to "get over you" - the point is he IS doing it - without you.
Trust me, the more likely situation will be that he will regret losing the girl that was in it for him and not his money. You should be more preoccupied with letting yourself see him for who he HAS become and try to move on - not into a new relationship - but just from him. I was in a VERY similar situation and lost a big portion of my life to it, but ever since I made the decision to leave it alone and move forward, I actually have found a world of good that I couldn't even IMAGINE when I was where you are right now. It gets better - just leave him to do whatever stupidity he'll do - you'll just be "the one that got away". and he'll have to live knowing that every time he writes the new chick's alimony check.

i know how you feel my ex is in a rebound now too. anyways he's making a really big mistake. rebounds always fail. (especially if its with someone who wants money) anyways he's taking a bound to fail relationship and singing contracts and dropping major cash over it. MAJOR mistake. I can almost guarentee when this happens he will want you back. and I know what your thinking. you'll forgive him and be happy becuase you still love him. well. remember how you feel now when that happens.

Hey I feel for you, its not nice feeling, however its his mistake to make now. You need to get on with your life and concentrate your energies on you. Get out meet some new people, have a blast being single.soon enough you won't be thinking about him and what his doing.

It takes time and determination, but it does and will pass! And you won't care

I can't say this enough. it's STILL a rebound. But I'm not sure if the man you love exists anymore. Sounds like he's trying to change to make himself feel better. And for the whole house-buying thing. don't worry, it won't last. Too much change in too little time catches up with people, and he'll get a reality check soon.

In the meantime, try not to think too much about him (easier said than done, I know!). If he's the one, he'll come around and stop playing these childish games.

Best of luck.

Awww honey! I know from experience it's not easy to watch someone your still in love with move on. :-( I really don't think it's normal or a good idea their house shopping, but it's their life and if it's a mistake then it's theirs to make.

If you really love this guy just stand back for awhile and wait. From all you are saying he is doomed for disaster very soon. Trying to talk with him at this point will have no real effect, but the well will start to run dry very soon and miss new girl will not look so good to him. It sounds very much like he is trying to prove something to you, which means that there are still very deep feelings for you.

Good Luck and hope all works out for you!

Wow. First, I'm very sorry for you. Heartbroken and finding out they're with someone new is, well, a bummer, for lack of a better word. He may very well be in love with her, and I'm sorry, because I know it's not what you want to hear. Or he may be trying to get over you, in a way that may prove to be harmful to himself and his new lady. Don't concern yourself. It will only make things worse for your healing process. If need be, tell him how you feel.this allows you to truly know you did everything in your power to save what you two had. If not, move on. I don't know the whole story.who left who.so this is all I con conclude, unless you provide some more information. Take time for yourself. Try and relax. Time heals all wounds.this coming from someone who has been trying to get over their ex for far too long now. I finally feel better about him being gone.thanks to supportive friends, nights out with the girls, and running into him a bar, s**t-faced and vomiting on himself. That usually helps. Some wisdom I read on this site."picture your ex naked, with a shaved head, throwing up and having diarrhea at the same time. If that doesn't work.picture them throwing up a fish." Or associate him with herpes. Every time you think of him think of an outbreak. It will gross you the hell out.LOL it's actually funny, if you think about it.

You're situation really does suck, and I'm very sorry for you. Sadly it is possible that he's in love with someone else. While I think it's a bit hurried to be looking for a house after such a short period of time, it's really got nothing to do with me, or you. If he's going to foolishly rush into things like this I think you should be glad that you're rid of him!

Sorry sweetie, but he's on the rebound, trying to reinvent himself and going overboard. Shopping for a house after four months is a recipe for disaster.

I'm sorry you're in this position, and I KNOW how it hurts. But what he's doing is such a clear sign that he's having just as hard a time as you: he's just showing it in a different way.

Sadly, there's probably nothing that can make this easy for you. But you can take some comfort in the fact that he's obviously not over you, and obviously acting out over the loss. This doesn't mean you should or will get back together, but you shouldn't feel that he's just moving on like you were nothing. He's trying to move on and struggling with it, even if he doesn't realize it.
