I would've never characterized you as a child. It's just, sometimes, when it comes to relationships, we can't see the forest for the trees. When we're steeped in the middle of things...it's hard to be objective.
Outside voices (us forum folk) can often see past the details to the core issues. That's all. That's why it helps to talk to other people.
Absolutely true, and I wanted to say that but I was worried I may upset others, that when you’re in the midst of it it’s not easy to see heads from tails so what seems like denial is just really unclarity and confusion, so I really appreciate everyone and those who took the time to really dissect things for me.
Ugh. You’re probably right. It doesn’t seem like he’s 100% ready to let it die cause he hasn’t blocked her or even told her not to message him again (even though she’s initiating not him)
But why? Why isn’t he just moving on? I don’t want to generalize but I know some men who get over breakups so fast and the next person they date sticks. It’s usually women who feel stuck, not all women but many.
That's not always the case in my experience. It varies from relationship to relationship. I was literally just in the SAME situation you are in now (except I was the guy). Let's just say it didn't end well for the girl on the side because it took me way longer than I thought it would to completely cut things off and move on from my ex - so just be careful!

Wow, what a story! Thank you for sharing. Do you now realize what kept you hooked to the past and unable to move on? It’s strange that when I look at my past I see the answers so clearly but when I’m in it, it’s all muddled and tangled.
Go ahead and have fun with him but don't get too attached. He just broke up with his ex 6 weeks ago. They could make up and get back together and then your feelings will be hurt.

It happened to me. He ended up marrying her....but still trying to be with me on the side. He had some nerve!

I could probably write a small book on the topic, haha.

She's already attached, look how messy the whole situation is. She's not going to be with him and not be hurt if he goes back to the ex. Her emotions are already a hot mess.
Why can't people ever see the forest for the trees!! Take some time and start a new relationship with someone who is ready to date YOU and is not interested in the day to day activities of his ex!!

They already cut contact. Also take it easy. This isn’t a football game.
