FAQ: What Should I Do If My Ex Is Seeing Someone New
Posted: Sep 30, 2008
First, with all situations in The Magic Of Making Up, let's get a firm grip on reality. Your life is not a movie. You're not going to show up on their doorstep, drenched in rain (because it always seems to be raining in those types of movies) gaze into each other's eyes and fall back in love.
Get that out of your head. It's not going to happen.
If your ex is seeing someone new, it's okay. Don't panic. You know why you shouldn't panic?
Because it's been proven and well documented that rebound relationships fail 95% of the time. It's just a perfect storm of emotional turmoil.
They haven't fully recovered from the breakup, and most rebound relationships are just a coping mechanism to provide comfort to a broken heart.
It won't last.
So where does that leave you? Hopefully, if you're following the recommended steps in The Magic Of Making Up, you're in a good position to get back together when the rebound ends.
The worst thing you could do is try and breakup the new relationship. That will turn your ex against you in ways you couldn't imagine.
