Basically move on, she screwed the relationship over and all you can really do is forget about it.

I love the "use your vocabulary to the fullest extext and make her feel stupid"..but that only works if you had a girlfriend like i did..lolz.

Not going to happen with this girl. Like I've said plently of times in this topic, she is highly intelligent. Sure, I could talk to her about Calculus and programming, but what would that prove?

For me, intelligence > looks, which is why I stayed with her even though she became a little larger than I would have liked to see her get. I'm not as superficial as most of the people on this forum.

The plus? She's my ex-gf's 'best friend'
The negative? She's my ex-gf's 'best friend'


This Sunday I'll find out if I have a change with her, I guess. Three years might be a barrier though.


What is wrong with you? That's not a plus at all. Wipe the slate clean and just move on completly. No 'best friend', no 'sister', no 'mother'. Go for someone which doesn't have obvious ties which will force you to meet your ex-GF again no matter what.


Why's it a plus?

Sweet, sweet revenge!!!

It wouldn't be some random hookup. Getting with her would be something I have wanted to do since she went back to her country, three years ago. It would definetly make me get over my ex!

Plus, she has an extremely toned body, and a really, really nice ass!


That's very immature of you to even think that, sorry, had to say it. You will not get over your ex by sleeping with another girl, it will just make you think of her even more. You'll think of the times you made love then held each other. Take it from someone that's been there before...you'll regret doing it.

And stop wondering what she's doing. It's only going to bring you farther down. Sure, it's tough to not be in that frame of mind but if you really think about how you feel after finding certain things out you'll soon realize you didn't want to know in the first place.

Yes, I guess it did have to be said. And I freely admit, you are right. It is extremely immature of me to think about getting with this girl purely to upset my ex. I may have misphrased my true intentions in that original post which you quoted.

It's not that I only want to get with her friend because of revenge... That actually plays a relatively small part in my motivation. Like I've said, she's really hot, and I had a huge crush on her for a long time (it was a mutual crush, however. I talked to her about it almost a year ago).

However, since I've been hurt, I'm having a hard time not thinking about anything related to her in terms of 'revenge.'

Understood. However, it will make you feel worse in the end if you sleep wtih this girl. Be strong and keep yourself busy is my best advice to you. If you don't play into the revenge game it will make you stronger in the future if anything of this nature happens again. It will teach you new coping skills for the future. You don't want to get older and still be in the revenge type of mindset. It's not healthy and honestly, it's morally wrong. However, you're going to do whatever you're going to do. But I guess keep some of my opinion in mind. I've been through what you're going through on two occassions and both times I did think of revenge but knew it wasn't the right thing to do.

Good luck.

So. I was dating this girl since I got out of high school, around three years ago. However, she broke up with me around a month ago, saying that she just didn't 'feel it' anymore. However, I suspected that there was another reason behind it.

Through the entire relationship, I always felt like she loved me more than I loved her... It was pretty apparant that she cared very much about me, so I really don't know what happened towards the end. She always told me that if she broke up with me, it would take her a long time to get over 'us'. In June, the sex became sparse, like once or twice a week, and she always finished long before I did. Then, because she got a new job, we started not being together all that much, and not really being all that close when we were together.

So, around a week after we broke up, I find out that she was very attracted to some guy she met before we broke up, and that in the last few weeks of the realtionship she thought of me 'as a really good friend.' When she was with me, she was thinking of this other guy.

The next week, I talk to her about this... All I want is the truth, because I've been a wreck thinking about her breaking up with me because she was with another guy. She tells me that she's just 'friends' and she probably will not date someone for a long time.

The next day, someone in one of my classes approaches me, telling me that my ex-gf is with his friend's younger brother. He claims that they are dating, and have been together for the last week or so.

Fast foward to today. Another friend from one of my classes has done the unthinkable. Not only has she personally met my ex's new guy, and hung around them for an hour, but she's taken pictures of them, to show me. She has pictures of them lying on the coutch, holding hands, and a picture of them making out!!!!! Well, as you can imagine, now I feel like sh!t. I'm suppose to meet her later this week to talk about things. Mainly, all I want to know is if they are having sex yet. I don't know why it really matters to me, but I think actually hearing from her that they are together, and having sex, would make everything better, since the worst part is wondering.

The same friend that took the pictures says that this guy also spends every weekend living with her. She has a small room, with a double bed, which makes me think that something is happening.

Here's the real kicker: Both my GF and I are pretty intelligent. We are both 21. This guy is a exchange student from Spain who can barely speak english, and is here for the equivalent of a GED. Also, he is 18. The only thing I can see that this guy has over me is looks, which really hurts, because I will freely admit that my GF is not the best looking.. She's put on around 20 pounds in the last few years.

So, if you made it through that, what do you think?

Here's what makes it so bad. I'm taking summer classes right now, and the only people I know in the entire town are the people that have told me about what is going on. So, I'm really lonely. On the weekends I visit friends from other cities, so I'm not bored, but on the week days all I can do is sit around and think about her and this guy.

Realistically, breaking up wasn't bad. If she did not have this guy, it wouldn't be a big deal. But, the fact that she moved on so quickly really hurts.

Thoughts?

EDIT

Posted by someone:

"My head hurts after reading this thread. You have a GF now and you want to know if your ex and this guy are having sex?"


I know it's wierd. However, I think the worst part about thinking about her and the new guy is wondering what exactly is going on between them. If I just knew for a fact that something was going on, I think it would bring some degree of closure to me.

I felt I needed to reply to this particular topic in the OP.

FWIW, although they probably are already, even if they are not, they will be soon.

But yeah, I'd put my money on it.


And if you do her best friend, you are my hero.

BTW, shes your EX-GF, not your GF...

If she cheated on him, revenge is in order. Doesn't sound like she did though.

It is most definitely a dish best served cold...but not too cold.

Yeah, I cleared that up in my OP. Sorry about the confusion there... I think I made a mistake in the copy and paste of that sentence.

I'll get back to you about the best friend. I'm hoping I'll have a shot, but not for revenge purposes.

I don't *think* she cheated on me when I was with her. When I've asked her about it, she maintains that there is a) nothing going on with her and this guy and b) she met him at a bar after we broke up.

However, through the social network I've developed, both of these appear to be lies, or at least huge manipulations of the truth. If she was cheating on me however, sh!t will really hit the fan!

Alright, Stewy, the point here is this so listen (or read)! If you find out why she dumped you and why she chose soemone else over you, that reason is going to nag at you. It won't make you feel better. It will probably make you feel worse! Knowing your flaws can only make you feel worse, especially when you have someone point them out so bluntly. Think about whether or not you actually want to know the truth or whether you just think you do! Trying to find out why is going to cause you more pain.

Don't kid yourself. If you're gonna get revenge, do it wholeheartedly. Not to say you can't enjoy the situation for everything that it is, but don't delude yourself into thinking thats not a factor in your decision to bone this specific girl.

And if you knew for sure, it wouldnt bring closure - it would just make you sick.

I went through an almost identical situation a few years back - I had my suspicions that my ex and her "friend" were getting a little too friendly behind my back. I stopped caring, for various reasons, just like you did, and she dumped me, etc....trust me, its almost tit for tat exactly the situation.

I got over it by removing her from my world - completely broke off contact after the first couple of days. A month later, I couldn't care less what actually happened, since I had gotten over the initial shock and remembered why I stopped caring about her in the first place.

But if I could have done her best friend shortly after, I totally would have. She offered while we were together, but I could never bring myself to cheat on a girl.

Just remember this - ex's are not friends, and never will be. Remove her from you life as completely as possible, and you will be a very happy man.

I wouldn't necessarily think like that. Thoughts of betrayal can really hurt your future relationships that you have. It's better to think of the reasons why the two of you aren't compatible. Think of any red flags you saw in the beginning or during the relationship you might have shrugged off and slowly realize how big those red flags are and thank God that the two of you aren't together as those red flags could have caused things longer down the road to be worse.

So, here's some more information about us:

From the beginning, I never thought about her as someone who I would want to spend my entire life with. For the longest time, she was all about being together 'forever' and stuff like that, but I always was the one who kept reserved and quiet about my future plans, because as far as I felt, she was only the girl who I was dating now, and in the future I'd find a girl I loved more than her.

Strangely enough, I kept this mental attitude until the end of the relationship. It's not that I didn't love her, or even didn't show that I loved her, because I did. However, there was always this nagging thought that she was not the ideal girl for me to spend the rest of my life with. By our very nature, we disagreed on some fundamental issues which I believe a couple should agree on: Appropiate age for marriage, kids/not kids, ect. We never really had a serious discussion about these topics, but from the general conversations we had, I know we were incompatible.

However, since she broke up with me, I haven't felt like I did for the rest of the relationship. Like many people in this thread have cautioned me not to do, I convinced myself that she'd get tired of Jeorge, and and I could win her back. Somehow the realization that her and Jeorge are having sex made me realize that we are not getting back together.

By my nature, I am not a very jealous person. Actually, I think this is one of the first times I have ever really felt jealous of someone for an extended period of time. Perhaps I just need to figure out a way of getting over the jealousy?

Who knows..

Who knows..

But you must understand that your longing for her has absolutely nothing to do with how much you loved her. Its just your ego that has been shocked. She was more in love with me than I was with her, so how could she dump me? Oh no, I've made such a mistake!!!

It's nothing more than typical breakup nonsense. You WILL get over it, in not too long of a time, if you LET HER GO. Because right now, you are confused....I did the very same thing, and thankfully, she just kept telling me no, no and no.

And a month later, after the original shock had died down, and I could see the forest for the trees, I had forgotten all about it, and was glad that I never made the mistake of chasing down something I didn't want just because it got away from me.

But if you keep on bugging her, and she keeps on letting you, this will never go away.

Dude you got off easy. Sounds like both of our relationships are kind of the same.

I just got out of a two and a half year relationship. The last 2-3 months seemed very awkward to me. Come July 2nd, she ran away from home, and texted messaged me saying that "I have to tell you this, but i am married good bye"

Turns out she eloped with the guy in May. While still being with me and with her parents still believing she was with me. I was already bracing myself for a break up. But I wasn't really prepared for that. And her parents of course are in total chaos... She hasn't talked to me since the text message. And she is going on with her life like nothing wrong happened. Plus the guy she is with has no job, no education, and lives with his single mom at 22. And she is now living with him in his bedroom. Whoo...

But i know how you feel. It burns a bit. But it was probably for the best.
