    It's not admirable to immediately jump into a new relationship. It's admirable to choose to take time, heal your wounds, work on yourself. If they jumped into a new relationship to impress others - they just showed their immaturity. You're the one to admire.

      Men need like 1/2 of the time to recover
      Any relationship in the period of recovery it's a rebound and doesn't help in the healing process.

    The lesson for me that's re-affirmed here is that you don't want to continue right away into something new because everyone has something to learn from the prior relationship that didn't work. And I have learned now that there is a 99% chance that there's always something to learn. So not taking time to get into that with yourself, is not the best way forward. So also, don't envy your ex-partner when they move on right away. Because any shortcomings that were in your relationship together, this person is likely bringing that into the next relationship. And everyone has something about themself that needs improvement.

      It's not your love for him or his love for you that you care about. It's your ego.
      We can't stand the idea that someone could move on from us at all, let alone quickly. Once you drop your ego and realize he's not even worth your time thinking about, then YOU can finally move on.
      His ego was stroked by another girl, so he's fine. He didn't drop it though.
      The human ego is a very powerful thing. We all have it. It can be a good thing or it can be extremely harmful. The trick is to learn to know which is which and how to control it.

    Since everyone else is sharing; I had a highschool girlfriend from when we were 15 years old we lived together, crazy circumstances, until we were 25 years old and then we separated. She had a new boyfriend three days later and I stayed single. She stayed with her new boyfriend for five years and I briefly dated a nice woman for less than a month. Ever since then I haven't dated or even attempted to talk to any woman romantically even though some of the women who helped orchestrate the demise of my highschool relationship showed a vested interest in doing so. Some of which attempted to have sex with me only for me to reject them because I was hurting and sex felt pointless at the time.
    It's been 9 years, 3 months, and 14 days since that split in 2015 when we were 25 years old. I find myself emotionally blunted by my experience and other factors played a part in it as well. I don't ever see myself wanting to care like I used to ever again because honestly I believe I've lost the capacity to do so.

    A lot of bad advice on move on quickly, pretend it's all good, you'll get back together if you do no contact and trauma bond your opponent to come back. While that may work for some in some cases, my heartbreak left me searching for answers inside myself of where I wasn't living up to the task.
    I discovered a lot of stuff on CPTSD, codepency, attachment styles, male and female dynamics, and new pieces of the puzzle keep falling in place daily, even more after almost 2 years.
    In a way I'm grateful that we didn't get back together, because I may have neglected to move in deeper.
    However I miss our connection and wish there were ways to share these insights with her, hate seeing her flail around repeating old patterns and becoming more and more damaged in the process.

I'm deeply attached and loyal to my wife, but I was deeply attached to the previous girl as well and I found out the hard way that I had merely frozen the grieving process.

Did it end because one of you literally moved out of town or out of the country? My point is this: not all people who move on quickly are doing so because of immaturity, codependency or denial of the grieving process.

    Every situation is different. I was once the one to move on quickly, and the reason was that the previous relationship was really not working well - HE was the one with the insecure attachment style and low self esteem that resulted in him treating me like crap but I stayed longer than I should have because I knew that deep down he did care about me and kept hoping things would change. Gradually losing that hope felt like I did the grieving for that relationship while I was still in it... so by the time I summoned the strength to actually end it, I was well and truly ready to move on. Weeks later I was together with the man who is now my husband of 13 years.

    Even though I was the person who initiated the breakup, it was still incredibly surprising and hurtful to find out my ex had moved on (we were still in contact and they lied to me about it at first). What hurt me was that although we didn’t have the best partnership, I thought as a friend they would trust me enough to be open and honest.
    I don’t know their thought process but I do know they kept trying to rub in the fact that they were in a better relationship now (which I suppose is fair, although very tit for tat in nature). I really hope that they genuinely did process what happened and are not avoiding their true feelings.

We have been seeing each other, texting and calling for 2 months. She was saying that she can not move on from me but she is afraid that the breakup will happen again. When I got distanced she was the one who initiate the contact. I didn’t understood what the hell is happening. Then I saw her with another boy holding hands in the park. She is good in manipulation and has serious problems with emotions blaming everyone else but not her. Now I feel cheated and wondering if she is still the person I knew.

    I’ll add that these “new” excuses/avoidant styles that are the new hip language for shitty people don’t always develop at a young age. I think in modern dating, they come out over decades of disappointment and bad choices. I’ve known people who had the picture perfect childhood and even college years. But continuing bad choices and terrible decisions in partners tend to bring this avoidant part to their personalities. People don’t process. Especially hot or attractive people “on the market”. No self awareness where it’s easier to just blame. Block. Roll on to the next one. Hurt people hurt people.

If the relationship was just a shell in the end, and there is no chance to reconnect, and the other party ended for plausible or external reasons, making the breakup final, it actually made it easier for me. Nothing that I could have done would have changed the outcome. In this case I was actually able to be open for someone else relatively quickly. There were a few times when I had to end it, and that was much harder.

Yesterday we called and got into an argument. She tried to blaime me for her family issues, keep in mind she’s been in abusing family her whole life. She said dating me was the worst thing she ever did. I then sent a message saying that I’m sad that I’m not the person for her and she’s not the one for me, I hope me and you can be on good terms after this and I genuinely hope you have a good future and life. She then called me to say that wasn’t an apology and that I should call her when I get some balls. I’m more hurt by the fact I tried to end things in a mature way and it gets thrown back at me in that way. Even though she always accused me of being immature.

    You're talking about romantic relationships here. But the same thing happened to me with friends.I was ghosted and denied proper explanation on why this person wanted to end the friendship. What they told me was so trivial, it couldn't be the cause of them ending the friendship.

    Sometimes a relationship dies long before both of you officially make it so. It could be years if your partner is studying or going through a rough patch. In these cases one partner might have a long head start on moving on. One person will always be slower at realising it’s dead. You are correct that it has very little to do with you.

    Thank you for producing this video. I wish I had reviewed this video years before.

    Never take modern women seriously! She's not yours; it's just your turn.

    It can mean a variety things but usually it’s because they’ve been over it for awhile before the breakup.

    I was the one who moved on very quickly and happy. Your suggestions that it indicates that there is something wrong with that, are incorrect. I felt VERY released after being mentally abused during 12 years. Now, five years later, I still feel the liberation and happiness from de day I decided to leave her.
