I was with this guy for almost 2 yrs. He's a bit younger than me and less experienced. Pretty sure I was his first serious relationship. About 6 months ago he started to talk to his ex and 4 months ago broke up with me to be with her. He claimed it was because he loved both of us and needed to find out if she was right for him. We stayed in constant contact and were very good friends for 3 months then about a month ago I decided to make him choose me or her. He told me he wasn't willing to leave her for me so I pushed him away. I purchased a few books on break ups and getting your ex back and they said chances are this relationship won't last because he is on the rebound. About a week ago my ex contacted me and told me he and this other girl had broken up, and he had a new girlfriend that he asked out on the very same day. On that exact same day this girl had broken up with her boyfriend of 3 months. He told me he wants us to always be friends but that this new girl makes him very happy. He said they click well together, have fun together and pretty much wouldn't stop talking about this other girl and how pretty she is. He then started to tell me that he intends to take things slow with this girl and to not rush into anything because he was afraid of ruining something wonderful. I thought for sure he has moved on now and then he changed the conversation to me and asked me if I was having sex with anyone or had done anything sexual with anyone. He seemed concerned about whether I had moved on with anyone yet or not. When I told him I hadn't he went back to talking about his new girl and how he was downloading her favorite bands to his ipod for her. After about an hour he just said gotta go and hung up. I do still care for him very deeply and I'm a little worried about him jumping from relationship to relationship. I was just wondering if anyone could tell me the likelihood that my ex boyfriend is on the rebound or the chances this new girl is on the rebound. I only ask because in my experience rebounds are usually rushed and people aren't so concerned about ruining a potentially good thing. On the other hand, he seems to be rushing into relationships and he's very concerned about what I'm doing and if I'm with someone. Then again I can't help but wonder if he is over me but his inexperience with relationships is causing him to be jealous. Can anyone clear things up a bit?
ok. this is where I don't get girls. he's your ex, let him be, let him make his own mistakes. he doesn't need you to hold his hand, your guy aren't together. and as for reading a book about geting your ex back? why would you? seems like a big bag of douche to me. next time he calls, tell him you gotta go, or just ignore the call completly. you need to move on, your gonna miss out on something good if you keep your ex in the picture
