1 yHere's the thing: People have a hard time facing their own pain, or anything that reminds them of it. For example, a man might love his wife with all his heart. But, she dies in a car accident. He's dating again within three months, not because he didn't love her, but because he can't take the void.
With a breakup, especially a nasty one, often people date right away because the breakup causes them to feel insecure about their own value. They can't just sit and contemplate what happened because it requires a) self-examination, b) personal responsibility, and c) processing complex and difficult emotions like guilt, anger, disappointment, sadness, denial, anxiety and so on. It's why we see revenge glow-ups and guys with eye candy on their arm right after break-ups.
It's why I encourage people to do therapy. Life is hard. Relationships hurt. Loss affects us. There's a reality that is ebbing and flowing in our lives unseen and unexpressed, and it affects us whether we choose to give it attention or not. But if we don't address it and face our own hurts honestly, we'll simply repeat our mistakes over and over again.
Just some thoughts on it...
01 ReplyYeh she actually told me all of this. I just can't get over how she looked legitimately happy with him. How can she say she still has feelings for me and wants to be with mw? I mean this chick still wants to get married.
My honest thought is that she got an itch for fling and did it.

1 yloving someone doesn't mean that she can't love herself and move on with her life to see someone else. you can love someone and still let them go. I cared a lot about my ex boyfriend but in my life, i need to prioritise myself and not how someone else feels about me.
11 ReplyOr you're just a cunt.

1 yI can't speak for everyone, but I myself can do the same. I move on very quickly. If someone breaks up with me, it means they don't value me. I use that knowledge to get over them fast. Because why would you stay with someone if even love someone that doesn't value you?
I also fall pretty fast. I get lost in all the similarities between me and the girl I'm dating and envision what a future with her might look like.
So yes... it is very possible.20 Reply

1 yThat is evolutionary biology. It’s more recently than people want to admit that women were ENTIRELY dependent upon a man’s willingness and ability to provide for them and their lifestyle.
Most women can move on quickly because they are quite literally bred to do so, and have been for generations.

Ah, the classic scenario of love turning into a high-speed chase! It's like one day you're the sun in their sky, and the next, you're just another cloud passing by. When someone moves on quickly, it often feels like they're auditioning for the sequel of your romance without you. But here's the twist: people process and express their emotions differently. Sometimes, moving on fast is their way of coping, sort of like using a Band-Aid to cover a wound that’s still healing. It doesn’t negate the love they had; it's just their survival mechanism. Maybe they're trying to avoid facing the emotional tsunami by jumping onto another ship. Remember, the speed of moving on isn't always the measure of love. Love can be deep and true, yet some hearts mend by dancing away into the next chapter. Keep that chin up; the right storyline is out there for you!

1 yShe loves you but she has to do what’s best for her. I believe that women typically leave mentally before physically. Therefore you see her recover that quick.
If I may, I wish you take this time to contemplate about what’s works and doesn’t on that relationship. Use it as a tool in that case you’ll be a better version of YOU and ready for the next chapter of your life.
Good luck.02 ReplyOr women can not act like shitheaded children. Howboutthat?

Sometimes we all are act inappropriate or not what others perceive/expect us to be. That’s how we grow and learn from own mistakes.

1 yA lot of what anxious-avoidant people like that perceive as love is actually an emotional trauma response. Where they experience a connection that they want, but they don't know how to process that connection in a healthy fashion, so they freak out and push it away to avoid getting hurt.

Anonymous(25-29)1 yI’ll speak for myself. I’m just saying that often I deal with a lot of mess before I leave and it takes time for me to realize that the relationship wasn’t good for me, so I use my love for the person as a crutch to stay in the relationship. once I realize that it really isn’t good for me, I can move on and by then I realize that my feelings matter and that’s what makes it easy for me to move on
00 ReplyThe same way men will tell a woman they love her when they never actually did. “Love” is just BS.

@nevooo If you want to insult and can't argue properly, don't bother. And I'm in a relationship for almost two years now. Moving on doesn't make you strong, all those things you're saying is just how you think we are, you're wrong.
Your body counts is probably beyond 50
