Suppose Ur bf/gf left you and goes with someone else, you are heart broken and just to show ur ex that you are happy without him/her or to make him or her jealous, would you get in to another relationship?

Unfortunately, I had no ex. But if something Unfortunately happen like you said,I wouldn't fall into another relationship,maybe I can't accept the factor,maybe I am impulsive,and maybe I will XXXXX.......... To be frank,if your bf/gf really doesn't care about you anymore,the way you suggest has no effect at all.If you want to take him/her back to your side,you must do something that can make him/her turn back to you Be that as it may,but who knows when it would be really happened in some day,how to deal with it well especially me,I know I'm a bit irritable which is my shortcoming

I always think before starting a new relationship,you need to terminate former affections.I mean you should promise yourself you won't turn back to ex,otherwise,you are really unfaithful to the one who is loyal to you,Yeah?

Hi aprces, Thanks for responding to one of my discussion and like you i too have never been in any relationship ever, this discussion just came in my mind and i was thinking if anyone would do it or not. Yes if he or she doesnt care about his or her ex anyomore then it wont have effect at all but i dont think feeling of either die so quickly and i am sure the guy or girl would have some feelings for his or her ex for some time if he or she was in true love.

for this question, i will say no. if i were in this situation, i will no longer see him or contact me. How is he going has nothing to do with me and all i need to do is to make myself live in a more happy life by myself. Maybe i will change a hair style, go shopping for more new clothes and work more hard to make myself more confident and beautiful.

I did those thing ps you mentioned when I had a break up. My motto was: be pretty and beautiful. Instead of feeling ugly and all I spent my time on self improvement. I hope my ex sees what he had lost..

A relationship with some one, especially with a significant other is to be treasured. One does not go into it for the sake of it. No reason to get into a relationship just to show the ex that you are happy. Or to make your ex jealous. It is totally not fair to the person you are getting into a relationship with. Not to mention, very childish thing to do just to make a statement!

hi ahgong, thanks for the response and yes i do agree that all the relationships should be treasured be it with borther, sister, parents, friends and especially with the significant other and his family. Yes i do agree with you that if you enter in any relationship without being ready and resecting it, it wont work and you woud be in mess.. it was just a thought and wanted to know what other mylotters have views on that.

Getting into another relatioinship after recently breaking up with somebody, I don't think you should go into another relationship. The reason being, is because, you still are sufforing from a break up. You shouldn't go with somebody else to make you think your happy when your not? I mean why would you do that when your already hurting so much. That make's it ten times more difficult to forget about your ex. It's just best to get through it, than getting over it finding somebody else.

Wow, I have only done this every time I broke up with someone. Even if I was the one to leave, I'd still jump quickly into another commitment. It's not the smartest idea. It has caused a lot of confusion, emotional baggage, heartbreak, and remorse. It especially causes problems when that ex tries to come back, and you still have feelings for them but you are now with someone else... I think the best thing to do is just focus on your own happiness and avoid more future heartbreak.

hi ravinder, thanks for the response and yes analysis of the breakup is very very important so that we donot repeat same mistake again. But the analysis has to be made with the cool head when hurt is over because in hurt everything magnifies and real reasons donot come to notice much just accusations u did this or that keeps coming up.

Hi asweetie,If my boyfriend would go out with someone else ,I highly doubt he would be jealous to see me with another. There are benefits to being married,I am glad that this is something of little matter anymore.But I do see how ripped up friends can become over guys still at our age.Maybe it my security in my relation that makes me feel this way,but I don't think I could ever play the dating game again.

Hi capsicum, thanks for the response and well you dont know even if someone is going with someone else even then if her or his recent ex is being happy with someone else then how much jealous they can be. But i do agree it is not a nice idea to get in to a relationship just to make someone jealous or to show someone how happy he or she is without that person.

Hello, You know in the past when I was single, that was the type of thing I tended to do and can't remember how many times I have done that, well ok probably twice. Anyway once I started dating this very hunky firefighter to get back at my ex. Of course I realize it wasn't fair using the firefighter to make the ex jealous, since I was on the rebound and there should be a cooling off period then. But nevertheless I did do that and always made sure that I looked my absolute best when the ex spotted me with the firefighter. Yes I know of course it was juvenile,and not fair to use someone that way, but we don't always use our heads when we've been hurt by a relationship.

hi ilysium, thanks for responding to my discussion and i find your response very true and close to fact. yes unfortunately many of us do this though we dont accept this and i donot why making the ex jealous is so important to all of us and it does create lots and lots of problems because we are heart broken and now we are in a relationship we do not want so that is how it is.

In my opinion, i will not going to get into a relationship, to take revenge, pretending i'm happy without him. It only gives me more heartaches. I just let him go, and enjoy my freedom.

hi rainmark, Thanks for responding to one of my discussions and i agree with you that it gives much more problems as you dont like the person who you are now dating and making him or her jealous wont do any good to you unless you are hoping this would make your ex to come back to you running. And even if he or she does comes back, then you have to get out of new relationship which can be real bad.

I think exiting out to jump back in is a wrong call that a lot of people make. I know in my younger years I did that and in all reality it's unfair. It is unfair to yourself and to the person you are dating. I think there has to be a healing time to make the sting go way, or in my case when I'm not mad anymore. I think those rebound relationships often lead to more heartache because first, you're not ready to be close to another person yet and second, the other person often times gets hurt over it. The jealous game is a stuipd one and often times we hate ourselves for it becuase we are actually using another person as a tool and seeing them as a human being. I have to say I do feel sorry for those that are in a relationship and run away just to get into another one. Like the example your gave a boyfriend or girlfriend leaving for someone else. I tend to think people who do that are either incomplete as themselves because they always need a person there to complete them. Or, they are just looking for the next best thing and keep jumping into relationship after relationship. I'd rather know who I am being alone over feeling I need someone there to make me feel complete.

Hi kprofgames, Thanks for responding to my discussion and i would tend to agree with you that rebound relationships are bound to fail and if you are in this relationship just to get your ex back then it might close the door of his or her coming back to you as he /she would think now you are in a relationship so he/she got no chance to come back to you unless you have broken up with the new one, and by the time you break up with new one he/she might be in a new relationship again.

NO not at all actually speaking I would lose all my interest in relations and don't want to go out at all.I am saying this out of my personal experience,Let me tell u one thing after my gf left me I got the idea like what you said but that was impossible for me because wherever I go old memories wound me and it took nearly 5 months to come out of it and now I am normal again. I am saying eventhough you get the idea of taking revenge it requires a great deal of will because if you truly love ur gf/bf you can never into a relation with another just for taking revenge and even to talk freely with someone takes time...

Hi madugulagopi, Thanks for responding to one of my discussion. I understand what you are trying to say . I have never been in a relationship ever in my life so it is a hypothetical question as far as i am concerned but you are right about not getting in to another relationship till you are out of the first one or you would take hurts of the last relationship with you in the new relationship and hurt the new relationship too which is not only unfair to your new partner but also very bad for you.

hi anurag, thanks for the response and i know it is very difficult to be back with someone because the bitterness would always be there and it would effect future relationship with the same person.

Personally, I would not even consider entering a new relationship for either of those reasons. First of all, it is not fair to either you or the new person involved. A rebound relationship is almost always doomed to failure. What good would it do to move on to someone new, when you haven't yet put your last relationship to rest? Also, what if the new person falls in love with you - would you just leave him/her heartbroken in the end? You obviously know the pain/hurt involved when a relationship ends. You need to work through your own upsets and find some closure. Once you are right with yourself, then you might think about a new relationship. Be kind to yourself, and be kind to others.

Hi malamar, Thanks for responding to this discussion of mine and i would totally agree with you that it is very unfair to the new guy or girl who you would be dating now and what would you get by making you ex jealous. If you expect him to rush back to you as soon as you make him / her show you got a new one and if she /he comes back running to you , then what? would you break with new one to go back to old one which you want and breaking with new one would create a lots of problems too . So i totally agree with you that it is not wise to be in a relationship just to show.

I just had a breakup recently and my ex did that to me. He got a new girl friend after a month. Well yes it worked. I was jealous and hurt. In his part although he did it he still posts things pertaining to me in his wall despite the fact that he has a new girl friend. But if he expects me to come begging him to come back to me he is wrong. My decision to break up with him was final. Yes he succeeded in hurting my pride but I do not think he is happy with his pretense love affair. In my opinion it is wrong to use another person as a rebound. If you are not yet over somebody do not engage in a relationship because first, it won't make you happy. Second, you'll end up hurting the one you truly love and missing a chance to get back together. Third, you might end up hurting someone when she finds out she was just used.

No in my opinion it is totally wrong. Because it may happen that the person with whom you are creating a relation may be under wrong impression that you have some feelings with him and one fine morning after knowing the truth he will be collapsed for deceiving. Otherwise take that person in confidence and tell him frankly that this drama is only to teach a lesson to somebody then its ok. Do not play with the others only to make some one jealous.

No! If my gf breaks my relation, just to show show her or to make her jealous I will not get in relationship. But, if I get genuine gf, who loves me then certainly I will get in relationship with her.

When I was the girlfriend of my husband we had several separations and when we were not together I didnt have another serious relationship but I went out with friends because I didnt want to sit and wait for him...also to he realize that he could definitely lose me.
