Am I wrong for seeing someone else 2-3 months after a 6 month toxic relationship?

I broke up with him and started seeing someone else that I met AFTER the breakup 2-3 months AFTERWARDS, but now he’s telling my friends that I emotionally cheated on him with my current boyfriend and that I’m in a rebound relationship. I’ve read about rebounding but I do not feel the need to use someone to move on. If I like someone, I go for it and I’m someone who doesn’t dwell on things, but was I supposed to wait longer in-order to date again?

There is no time frame to see someone else after an official breakup with someone. Some people need more time, others less.

If both of you agreed to split up and go their own way, then there is no problem whatsoever. However, I presume that he thinks that you must have been seeing that other person while you were in the relationship and that is why he acts the way he does.

As long as you are only seeing that other person and not physically interacting with him (fornicating), then he has absolutely no reason to believe that you were emotionally cheating on him. Even if you are being physical with the new guy, this happens after you have officially separated.

Yeah, I met my new boyfriend a month afterwards and the breakup between my ex was not mutual since I broke up with him due to how toxic he was towards me throughout the relationship. I was already clocked out a bit before the split and he has been blocked since then, but still finds ways to find out what I’m doing and spreads rumors that I emotionally cheated :/

I started to see someone else after a week broke up with my ex. And seeing my husband after 7 months broke up with the ex. As long as you are single, nothing wrong with it.

That’s what I was thinking because he was claiming that he was going on dates every other day after we broke up, but when I actually started dating someone I started getting called an emotional cheater which made no sense to me at all. I thought it was normal to move on after a month or two 🤔

My ex did that too, even though we broke up because he cheated on me he still said i cheated on him. And said it must be long time before we broke up i saw this guy. But ex is just ex, let him barking.

Not at all. 2 to 3 months is a long time.
