Rebound

[caterpillar79]

Guys, I want to know about your opinion on this. You broke up with your GF, told her that it is better this way...it's for both your own good...that you don't love her the way she loves you - but you do care for her, yet not enought to make you want to stay a couple.

So this girl was devastated, tried hard to bounce back, but struggles. She then finds that a lot of men are swarming over her. She tries to avoid them - drives them away because she doesn't want to rebound anyone of them. Yet, one night, one was able to sneak in to her radius and caught her at her most vulnerable moment - she slept with him.

She realized how much she hated you for dumping her - reason why he had that rebound sex...what would you do? How would you think of her?

You still care for her...will you look down on her? Should you want to get back with her realizing that you made a grave mistake for leaving her...how will you deal with this fact?

Personally - If I broke up with the woman, I probably wouldn't mind much that she went and did her own thing.

Yes - I'd probably look down on her...I'd figure that she slept with the guy to either get back at me or to spite me, even if it wasn't the case. Also, I'm not a fan of fast women.

And lastly, no - it wouldn't make me want to get back with her. In fact, it would do the opposite....just make my decision seem all the more logical.

Good luck.

If I broke up with someone, I'd feel they were free to do whatever they wanted. If they broke up with me I'd feel free to do whatever I wanted (happened once and I did). When you break up with someone you relinquish all claim to that person.

I'm not a guy, but this is a boundries issue. He ended the relationship. You didn't go go out 2 hours or 2 days later and hop into bed with someone else and then call him up to gloat over it. What you've done since the break up is none of his business. There is no reason he needs to or should know, no more than he would know who you dated before the two of you became exclusive.

What men (some) fail to realise is that women are emotional creates and as such, all sorts of emotions occur through a break-up... If she was told "I dont' love you the way you love me", then later told " I made a mistake, I want you back", is this not yoyo love?

Some women will turn to someone for emotional comfort just to feel that love that has been taken away from them, only to realise it was only for a moment and wasn't really worth doing.

The bottom line is "she", is a grown person and can make her own decisions as to why, where, when ... and "she" was told "seeya later", therefore, "she" was her own person and no longer in a relationship and should carry no guilt.

He, has to realise the hurt he caused by making such a comment.

And, that he had no claim on her over that period of time, which judging from the comment of many other suitors but she did not do anything means it wasn't within a day or 2, or 7, or probably even 21, that this occured... so she shouldn't be judged on quickly attending rather, probably trying to get on with her life and making that management decision to do so.

Now, that he has done the yoyo, oops, some time after, doesn't give him the right to get up-set at any actions she chose to take.

If more guys would prescribe to the philosophy of "leave her better than you found her" then there wouldn't nearly as many bad breakups. Would it still hurt? Certainly. But there are ways to quickly remove the hurt and heal the wounded heart.

Would I be mad if she slept with another guy shortly after our breakup? Absolutely not, because I know he's not nearly as skilled as I am!

Would I think less of her for it? She slept with me on the first night. Who am I to judge?

I agree OG both men and women should follow leave em better than you found them...

If he broke up with you he ended it and sometimes that's what happens. We are emotional creates You tried to avoid it oh well it happened... Did you x find out about this? Is that why he is texting you and whatnot?

[caterpillar79]

I think he figured it out via my blogs. Whatever will be, will be. I have no control then. But now, I am more stable than before (I hope it continues progressing).
I still care about him, and he says he does care, too. But this time, maybe, just on a friendly level. He is very hard to read. He kept sending me mixed signals.

Exactly... I think it would be an act of desperation.

Excepting.... (30 days) having gone past before hand, is purely and simply " moving on"... He had 30 days in which to tell her that he was wrong and ask her back, as his girlfriend.... Yet, did not...

How long do you honestly think us women are going to sit back and wait?

I think that's more than reasonable.
