My Ex Is Dating Someone New

[@xtrekrex]

One of my exes I dated did this to me. Long story short, she left me for another dude. I pretty much died for nearly 2 months. I would always imagine my ex having sex with the other dude and going to all the places we went to. It was bad lol. Then I decided that I need to get it together, so I started traveling solo and started opening myself to other girls. Long story short, my ex contacted me around 3 months after she pretty much told me to F off. She wanted to get back together even when she knew that I was already dating someone else. Seriously, I never would've thought that she would say, "Me and this guy aren't connecting. I really miss what we had." It's too bad that I learned to overcome all the BS and decide to stay with the other girl. What Craig says in his videos is super legit. I never ever ever ever would've thought that she wanted to get back together. Ex's feelings change. Sometimes it just takes time. In my case, it took her a while. She also compared the other dude with me and made her realize that I was her best option lol. Our feelings change too. Now I'm okay to never contact her again.

[@lemotheemonemo]

You're better off without her. Sounds like she has "grass is greener" syndrome. Best of luck in the new relationship! :D

[@Danash2013]

Agree ☝️😁

[@markmz3369]

That's a great story. My ex left almost 2 months ago after overlapping for god knows how long - I think she still expects me to believe she just met this new person and is suddenly in a relationship. I would never take her back now but it would be highly satisfying to say thanks but no thanks!

[@mura0]

good for you man. My ex is with another dude. I saw the pic last night for the first time and it killed me. I don't picture them having sex or anything cause I know our sex was just unbelievable and she will not find anything better. What hurts me is the fact that she will probably get attached to this person. But I know she still thinks about me. She still "liking" posts on IG of breakup, feelings, hurt etc..things is its been 2 months after the BU. Maybe she will move on for sure now.

[@sandman4471]

If the sex is better with u she’s gonna come back as soon as she starts having problems with this guy. Relationships die but the attraction never does i say give it 2 more months she’s gonna reach out

My ex girlfriend broke up with me after a relationship of almost 4 years and after a month later she have a new boyfriend. She literally told me that she don't want to have any relationship and wanted to focus on herself and also her career but a week later she texted and saying she's seeing someone else and she needs to block me because she doesn't want to make her new boyfriend "uncomfortable". I'm just speechless.

I don't usually comment on KZbin, but I wanted to say that thank you so much Craig for making these contents and being there for thousands of people who shares the same pain. I was dumped around one and a half year ago, and have been working on my self and doing no contact since day one. I just discovered that my ex started a new relationship yesterday through my friend. The pain is so heavy and physical, I felt like I couldn't breathe. But within the pain, I know that this really does help me to finally move on and stop fantasizing about what we could have been. I will continue to better my self, no matter if they cared or not. I know my family and friends will always love me and will stay by my side. I came to learn that it's unexpectedly a good thing to experience a breakup, since that enables me to feel the love from other connections in my life (friendship , family etc.) more clearer than I ever had before. To anyone out there who is struggling, I hope you feel better, I really do. I love you all so much and we will get through this together

[@tylerstronk]

Just today I found out my ex is seeing someone else. I was in class I saw that she was sitting right in front of me with the "new guy" and I have 3 classes with her plus lunch. I'm staying in no contact and just focusing on building myself. It was bit surprising to see someone that I've been with for almost 2 years quickly jump into another relationship. It's been about 3 months since she broke up with me. The only thing I can do rn is continuing to better myself to see that I come to the best person I could be. Much love Craig I hope all is going good and to everyone out there. Edit: I think I was that 97% but she got out of a abusive relationship which was clearly bad and she knows it and I think I was better match for her.

[@tylerstronk]

@@Atothetheist yeah also turns out they started dating at little over a week after she broke up with me. So it's possible that she was cheating on me may not on physical but on a emotional since. But doesn't matter ik I'll find someone better than her won't be all that difficult.

[@DiegooFXX]

So any update?

[@tylerstronk]

@@DiegooFXX my knowledge they're still together which honestly doesn't matter to me. Currently I'm feeling my best ever and was able to create a support system. Something I didn't have for many years and probably wouldn't have if she never broke up with me. So really it was blessing in disguise. That and I learnt some much about myself and others. So really if someone broke up with you take the opportunity to better yourself in every possible way. If you do that you'll be healthier and therefore attract healthier good people in your life. So if you're alone dealing with a break up. I highly recommend slowly develop a support system but do mind and understand that you can't talk about the samething for too long. I can on and on for hours on what I learned and ways that helped me.

We had such a beautiful love and I’m so emotional and attached that, although the strong side of me shouldn’t talk to her, the weak side of me just... can’t even begin to think about not having contact with her.

[@DB-ue7cs]

After 13 years my ex is in a new relationship three months after breaking up.The girl practically is living with him. the kicker here, right from the start of this new relationship he reached out to me. For six months he hid this relationship from me. We'd been talking about understand each others attachment style and really put the work in to learning to related. He said he needed/wanted to take care of him, his house, cottage, etc..first.

[@Knel89]

I’m so thankful for these videos, I learn so much every day. I think a super important point to highlight in this video is when they talked about the guy who went through a lot of growth and the girl didn’t and went back to the ex who didn’t want her at all. She left a good man who was improving and making himself more valuable because she couldn’t handle someone like that. She was more than likely very insecure and controlling in certain ways and when she felt she lost that control over him and he was making himself more valuable than her, it freaked her out and she maybe felt worthless or not good enough next to him anymore or feared he would leave her for someone better- it was uncomfortable for her. So what does she do? She goes back to the ex that maybe was similar to her or less valuable all because it was more comfortable for her. Crazy stuff right there. I’ve noticed with my ex now that she has a rebound, it is clear that she has a much higher sexual market value than he does and it is clear that he is anxious because he is already posting the grand gesture on social media. When my ex felt I was going to upgrade my value when we were together, it freaked her out and she left me because she couldn’t control me in certain ways anymore. I bought a new car and started working out, she wanted no part of that. I even insisted and told her I wouldn’t leave her, I wanted her to have my children and be together forever. She was my woman. She has shown desperation, weakness and her avoidant tendencies. I know for a fact she didn’t fully process the breakup and she is using this new guy to ease her feelings, which is selfish. She’s not with him for the right reasons, thus it will not last. She’ll have no choice when they breakup, either process the emotions and come back to me, or continue to hurt yourself and others by jumping from relationship to relationship and not fix what’s wrong with you personally. Love you guys, you guys really have made a huge impact on me.

After a 5 year relationship and 3 months of no contact she told me by text message (last december) that she started dating someone else. It is indeed the worst thing that ever happened to me. In this video you say it's not 100% sure it will last. Well I know it will last, since she's chinese (living in China), she's 30, and all she wants is to get married, be provided for everything etc. She's working in the luxury business so I'm sure she found a rich guy to marry asap. They're all like that, and I thought she was different, SHE made me believe in 5 years she was different.

[@PancakeRecipes]

Coach Craig can you please do a video about how ex’s can regress after breaking up with you? I’ve heard you mention a few times how the Applebee’s girl regressed to a younger version of herself after the breakup. This has happened with my ex, when I met her she seemed quite mature for her age and the entire time we were together she acted a certain way. Then after dumping me she started hanging out with a new group of friends including a new guy and just recently she reached out and we’ve hung out several times. The main thing I’ve noticed is that she acts like a completely different person, she acts very immature almost like a teenager. It’s hard for me to wrap my head around it. On the flip side I feel like I’ve matured and grown a lot since the breakup because I’m determined to not make the same mistakes I’ve made in the past. Because of her regression it doesn’t seem like she is seeing the changes I’ve made. It’s like both of our emotional states are at two different levels when during the relationship they were the same. Now she’s even farther apart from me because she’s at a childlike level and I’m making an attempt at being an adult. Our wave lengths are on two completely different levels so I’m having a hard time re-connecting with her. On top of all this she is hanging out with a new guy who is also very immature. The whole situation sucks.

[@0220LMB]

What if you didn't find out through social media? (Blocked) And she just mentions it randomly after we had been back in contact and talking a lot (her always initiating contact)? She tells me during the worst time of my life while going through the loss of a loved one. Why not assume that it might hurt me and not say anything about it at all? Why did she feel compelled to tell me that esp after we had been reconnecting LD over the phone? I would have just been blissfully unaware. Now, I am all messed up not eating and sleeping, thinking of her in someone else's bed. She said she told me because she thought we are friends. I told her that's what she wanted.

I get why a rebound relationship typically doesn't work out because they don't know each other well yet, but what about someone who was an "overlapper" (i.e. cheater) for several months with someone new until they finally dump you and move on to that new person -- meaning by then they would already know that person better than a typical rebound relationship. Would you expect that relationship to have a better chance vs someone she met right after the breakup (i.e. rebound)? Or is it worse since it was built on deception?

[@austintang1645]

I’m in the same situation, the new person was just waiting in line and she emotionally cheated and was always venting to him instead of me. They met 2 weeks before the breakup and I’m confident he encouraged her to leave the relationship and take advantage of her vulnerability after the breakup. Two months later they’re official now. The thing is it’s a long distance rebound from Washington and Nevada. My ex plans to move back to Vancouver next year permanently for school so it would’ve been long distance with me or this new guy anyways, but at least they will be closer. I’ve lost 30 pounds, realized what went wrong in the relationship on my part (such as not contributing/providing enough (she spent more money on me than I did on her) and being able to emotionally understand her) and already spinning plates/meeting new people. The pain and anxiety relapse sometimes knowing that I lost a good woman, but I know deep down she lost someone who would’ve never gave up on her. Either way she wanted to move back home to Vancouver for college next year and stay there permanently and my hospitality degree is so much more useful in Vegas, so long distance would just be an ongoing standoff between us. I just wish we could’ve spent her last year here in Vegas together, but she’d rather breakup and then jump into a long distance relationship with the guy she told me not worry about when I caught her flirting over text with him a week before she broke up with me🤷🏻‍♂️

My ex started talking to the girl 10 days after we broke up. But he emphasized to her that he doesn’t want to have a serious relationship, and of course the girl agrees. I know about this because this girl keeps stalking my social media accounts and even sending me messages (with the fake account) asking if I have a boyfriend. I stop putting my ex on the pedestal. But still want him back even if it’s seems so impossible, he reached out every week or two, but i think he has a grass is greener syndrome so it will take a loooong time and i’ll move on. On week 6 now. Still feel shitty every day. Heartbreak is suck. Feels like I should be alone than giving my love to someone who is not going to return it back.

Experienced the weirdest thing. It’s been 4 months of him being with the girl he dumped me for. I’ve assumed a hundred things. That she was better than me in every way. That she’s been doing fun things with his family, etc. Ended up talking to his mom a few days ago. She said he doesn’t call the girl his girlfriend....just a friend. They’ve never done anything with the family. They don’t go out at all. She doesn’t speak to his mom. Just heads straight to the bedroom apartment when she shows up without speaking to anyone. She’s super introverted which is not his style. I just don’t understand why he left me to hang out with someone that he’s got so little in common with where they do nothing. He has reached out to me numerous times so I feel like he misses me or is bored. I relate so much to what you’re saying about the replacement person who has nothing on you. I’m not sure what to do. I haven’t been no contact because he keeps reaching out.

[@PancakeRecipes]

Sam Hill I’ve had a similar experience. Found out my ex was hanging out with a new guy but she refers to him as her “buddy”. I finally hung out with both of them several times now after she reached out to me. Based on what I’ve seen it doesn’t seem very romantic but I know for a fact he’s trying to have some sort of relationship with her. He’s also literally the exact opposite of me and doesn’t seem like her type. When she interacts with him she acts like a totally different person and not like how she acted when we were together. The whole thing is so confusing I can’t figure out why she wants to hang out with me and him at the same time either.

[@samhill7471]

Upson Downs That is weird. This girl of my exes spends the night at his place so she’s at least a friend with benefits. But I just don’t see what he sees in her being that she’s that introverted.

[@morelions4014]

I thinking more my ex had some sort of split personality. She is so different now to the day I first met her. That is what is so hard to understand. One day they seem to be so happy you have come into their live. And made them feel better about themselves. Especially when their previous boyfriends where very nasty to her or so she says. All I did was be kind caring and did anything for her. I've been told I don't have a nasty bone in my body so the saying. And I often think now shes just taken advantage of that. Soon after the break up she's staying round one of my new friends. It just seems the timing works out so well. What it seems is when she said well go on a short break from each other is around the same time I became friends with this guy she's now seeing. But I'm guessing as she must have liked him more or for some reason after a month or so she decides we need to separate completely and stops staying around mine and immediately is sleeping around what is suppose to be my friend. Because I haven't known him long he doesn't know what I'm like or how I truly felt about my ex and they claimed that at first they just saw each other as friends but eventually after seeing how I reacted and getting so upset and confused my ex admitted they were seeing each other. I see that them being together forever like mentioned in this video. But as I've found out that actually my ex is that sort of person and can just jump straight from one person to the next with not a care in the world for how much she's hurt me. I know now it wasn't worth one of my tears. Hopefully I'll learn from this in the future. But of course situations like this make me think it will be a very long time before I trust or even want to have anything to do with another woman. I believe its difficult to know how long any relationship will last if they will work or not. Some couples are meant to be and some are not. I'm pushing forty and it just seems to get harder to have the confidence to even try again. Its like trying to look for the perfect woman out there who will stay with you and love you forever no matter what. Its always nice the thought of settling down and one day being a father. You see plenty of teenagers these days walking around with push chairs. I guess the way it is that you only get one life and always assume your only be happy having a girlfriend or settling down but most of my adult life being single is not so bad its often the constant rejections by these women that I guess because how guys brains work look amazing and sometimes they are but not necessarily right for me. The right personality has to be there for anything to work as well. I've only watched a few of these videos on this channel but they have made sense instantly the moment I read them. Probably now I'm more looking at how to improve my confidence and be brave enough to go out there and start talking to women again. Otherwise staying single and having no contact with other woman I guess won't help my confidence. When you stay single for ages you get use to it and adapt you whole life around it. Probably I'm actually looking for a very complex woman as I'm sure I know myself that I'm a very complex individual and spends a good 70 to 80 percent of every day thinking about a thousand things all at once. I'm not sure many women could cope with that. Somehow I need to calm myself down but that's like trying to change who I am .
