My ex girlfriend of 2 years ago recently called me to tell me she was living with a guy. We broke up 2 years ago so I dont care but here is what it is. When we broke up she was immediately dating a new guy within 2 weeks. They were together the last 2 years and I would occassionally hear from her. Now they just broke up less than 1 1/2 months ago and she told me she is now living with a new guy and in a serious relationship? lol

This girl jumps from one serious relationship to the next with no time off. When me and her broke up I took 6 months off of dating to heal. I was not hurt by our break up nor do I hold hostility. I found that those 6 months really made me whole again and gave me an opportunity to assess what it was I was looking for and wanted. When I started dating again I had no baggage or issues to deal with since I had already dealt with it.

So what do you guys think? Time off after a break up or jump right to the next one?

Some people just can't be alone. Others need time. I'd say you're probably the wiser of the two.

I have found that the more I come to understand what women are really like, the less they live up to my idea of what I thought they were like (or should be like), and I like them all the less for it.

Any woman who breaks up with a guy and immediately starts a serious LTR with another guy was in fact was seeing those two guys at once, at some point. Basically, while she was dating guy #1, she met guy #2 and began dating both. When she realized guy #2 was better, she broke up w/ guy #1.

that's one of women's dirty lil secrets

Some people don't know how to be alone. I've seen men and women like that. They can be emotional vampires and you're better off without them.

It depends on the person.

Her life and you should no longer care what she does with it.

It sounds exhausting and moving that quick to me prevents a person from really processing their lives.

Bad because they because they can't make the relationship they are in last for long. It means their picker is a bit off.

Its what I thought. She has basically been in a relationship the last 6 years with 3 different guys at 2 years a piece and has no time off in between. I couldnt do it. When her and I broke up, there were several instances were I meet a girl and never acted on it. I also had someone I was really attracted to but decided I was not ready for even going on a date.

I think anyone who jumps from one relationship to the next has other issues. They say that after the 2 year mark you really get to know the person your dating.
