I had been with my boyfriend for six months and and he confessed he loved me but for reasons I don't want to get into we have just broken up. It wasn't a hostile relationship at all and I was loving him too. Literally a few hours later he has put up his profile on a dating site and is on there almost 24/7.

I understand maybe going on there a few weeks later or a few months later, but how and why would someone go on a few hours later when they are still in love and be on there almost every hour on the hour? Sadly I created a fake id to check and every time I log on it shows him there-though I plan to stop this soon.

He also keeps texting me throughout the day even though I never reply. Do you think this is a rebound tactic or some type of desperate need to not feel lonely? I almost feel bad for him.

I mean I could never go online and talk right now to new people feeling the way I do, not only is it unhealthy for me but also is unfair to the person you are speaking to.

Uh, how to say this delicately, a man has a need for tang - simple as that. His heart may be broke but I bet his solider still wants to march.

If it's only been a few hours after the breakup it's seven days too soon to say he's on there 24/7. Those things take some effort to initially set up!

24/7 makes no sense if you just broke up a few hours ago.

I meant to say he started on the dating site a few hours after breakup, this has been going on for 3 days now.

Look at it this way Peaches

He created an account on a dating site using his real name yet you're using a fake name and ID and stalking his movements.

You claim you just broke up a few hours ago but then say he's on this dating site 24/7 yet its not even been 24 hours much less 7 days... so who is exaggerating things here?

Maybe he is texting you throughout the day because you fail to respond to his texts and he is wondering if you're ignoring him or if there is something wrong. a simple text back to him to asking him not to text you would maybe help clarify for him you're not interested in him even though you're stalking him

and just because you're not feeling mentally able to talk to others that doesn't mean he isn't and therefore you shouldn't put your unhealthy expectations on him or anyone else.

It sounds to me you have some personal baggage you need to deal with very soon!

Good luck and stay off the dating sites and leave him to be because its really not important what he is doing but rather more important what you're doing for yourself.
