Think you hit it on the head. If she hasn't hooked up with you ex mate yet she's either not over you or its to soon for her to date again. Can't really saw which one though. And she can't be in a rebound relationship if she isn't with anyone else, right.

I think you need to take a step back, as hard as it is, step back from your exes life. It sounds harsh (and it is) but your not going out with each other anymore.

yeh i know ive 'stepped back' but i was wondering if it is or not becoz my ex best mate he jumped straight into my grave basically.

If he does/has, then yes its going to a hurt a little, but its out of your hands and her decision.

By asking if its a rebound relationship, its almost as if your hoping its not going to work out or something.

If she does want you back or something in the future, that again is going to be her decision too.

I fully agree with MrG, but it's probably good for you to understand what a rebound relationship is anyway.

It sounds like you're experiencing a lot of the common feelings related to break-ups - rejection being one of the most painful. You asked in another thread how you'll know when you're over her - one of the sure signs is that you're not concerned if you were to see her fooling around with another guy. You'll get there - really you will. *hugs*

Apart from the possibility of seeming a little blunt (as per usual), I dont know what has come over me. I seem to be dishing out some at least half sensible advice as of late!

Yeah but what i figured today

my ex best mate and my ex are going out now and today i felt all angry my heart was racing and i was thinking to myself "what a fucking twat how could he do that to me?".Right and them 2 and my ex's best friend are all like best mates together..the female best friend has been off all week ill so when she gets back in my own..sick way im hoping she drives wedges in between them because its not very fair on me for him to jump in my grave as soon as me and her broke up. Is that normal? I also heard that him and a friend of mine who i hang with sometimes were talking about it a few days ago and apparently my ex best mate was talking bout asking her out. and said summit like "I'm scared when we eventually start to have sex" hes talking bout that before they even went out? does that mean he only wants that i dont think he does but why else would you say that..?

Ive spoken to my close friends n they reckon it will go wrong OR they will get wedges in between them

Thanks Helen for the e-hug

Dont have any part in having wedges put between them. Otherwise she's going to hate you for ages and ages.

Its not fair or nice what your old best mate has done, but its not your relationship its his and your exes!

If you continue to be intrustive into this, its going to make you look like a lost puppy that doesnt want to give up on something that has moved on. As others have said, if she does want you back in the end, or if things dont work out with her and this new guy then fair enough, but dont get involved!
