Am I Allowed to Move on?

[Wintergrace]

My ex and I broke up over a month ago. We both agreed to be amicable and respect each other. I’ve felt bad because I’ve met some nice guys that I wouldn’t mind going on dates with. But I didn’t want to disrespect my previously long term relationship.
However, recently, he’s taken to partying with the boys 3 nights a week at nightclub style bars (when he was a total homebody both before and during our relationship). He’s getting wasted at least 2 nights per week (up to 4) since we broke up. Does this mean it’s socially acceptable for me to date again or would it be wrong of me? I’m not the partying type, I’ve done all of the self care, and the relationship was dead for over half a year before the breakup. I just don’t want to seem disrespectful because I do care, he just wasn’t right for me.

What do people mean when they "x" person wasn't right for me

I think you are maybe, but consider asking him..

[Wintergrace]

We didn’t have the same interests. He never wanted to go and do anything (literally agoraphobic level homebody). Other little issues that would take too long. I care about him, but I’d rather date other people. But I don't know if it’s being nice to him this soon or if it’s socially acceptable

[sensible27]

Whys he going places if he didn't like going anywhere before..

[Wintergrace]

My point in, maybe this means I will just start dating again. Hahaha. It feels so off and I feel like he’s doing it for the ego boost because he’s a home drinker when he does.

[sensible27]

Wdym ego boost?

[Wintergrace]

Seeing pretty girls at the bar to make himself feel better and more attractive basically

You don't need permission to be single when you're single.

Are you trying to be respectful to your ex, even though the both of you have gone your separate ways and he is clearly moving on? Or are you scared of moving on because you haven’t actually gotten over your ex or don’t know where to start over?

[Wintergrace]

Just trying to be respectful. I’ve met someone else and I’m over him. :)

[DarkWinterNights]

Well then I don’t see anything wrong with moving on and dating again.

You can date right away after the breakup. You don't need to wait for him to date first. I will get a date the next day.

[TrillXHippy]

No you’re not allowed to move on. Thanks for asking 😐

[Wintergrace]

When is it acceptable to move on?

[TrillXHippy]

The second you broke up with him
