I don't want to cut my ex out of my life completely

Question - (4 October 2010) 3 Answers - (Newest, 5 October 2010)
A male United States age 36-40, anonymous writes:

My girlfriend and I recently broke up and it's been 3 weeks, however she's already in a relationship with someone else a week after ending things with me. She just put a posting on facebook about how she is happy. Suffice to say that ripped my heart out even further. I was wondering would it be weird if I wrote back to her posting and said "I'm glad, you deserve it :)" Or should I just ignore it? The thing is I'm still holding out hope that she may want to get back with me someday and I would really like to keep the lines of communication open with her. And would really want to be there for her as a friend right now. I know it'll be harder on me to still be talking to her but I just don't want to cut her out of my life completely. I still do care about her very much.

Cccc agony auntWell personally I think if your relationship was a Long term one and you loved each other a lot then what shes doing is Competing with you trying to win the jealousy race.If she does immature stuff like that for you to see then shes not over you and shes probably on rebound.

I can kind of predict whats going to happen soon.

Anyway there's only 1 thing you can do for sanity sake.

MOVE ON...

1) she might come back and you will be better off since you have moved on and not NEEDY of her(This spills maturity all over the place from your side).Now I dont want to give you false hope!But sometimes people make stupid mistakes and think by just proclaiming that theyre SOOO happy they just shoot themselves in the foot.

2) She wont come back but you wouldn't care anyway !

Im talking out of experience but only for LONG TERM relationships.

Don't put yourself through that. Your feelings for her would never leave if you began gaining false hopes. In the event you even message her, you will feel anxious waiting for some kind of reply. Honestly, ignore it.

Try your best to move on. Try to forget the fb thing for a while. You can't be friends with her if you still have feelings for her. It will happen but not now. You just need to focus on moving on. Don't worry about her, try to worry about you.

Aunty BimBim agony auntJust ignore it, sucking up isnt going to cut it with her, the fact she dumped you and less than a month later has a new relationship suggests she isnt the most caring of girls around and saying she deserves a happy relationship with somebody else would be the same as saying you are not capable of providing same.
