We still get on amazingly well (and I think I still love her), and so finding out that she was now seeing someone else has brought a lot of emotions to the surface.I don't feel like I am ready to move on like she has yet and I don't really know how to.I wouldn't say I really have a question as such, I am just taking some advice from an article I read on here and venting some of my frustration.Here is the article for anyone going through a breakup.http://www.dearcupid.org/question/how-to-get-over-your-ex.html

The only reason I've had to see her again is because we used to live together and we needed to sort out all the moving out arrangements.
I agree that this is a rebound relationship for her and she is quite within her right to do so. It's just tough that's all. I think we still love one another but she has managed to move on and get past it before me.
Admittedly, this is really only my first relationship and I think maybe that is making it more difficult for me to see the silver lining.
Quick note: I actually broke up with her, and knew how difficult that would be for her so played it quite cool (in order to let her move on quickly from me), I think I didn't realize just what hard heart ache she must have gone through until I found out myself that we are no longer going to be together.

Just because she's dating someone else doesn't mean she's over you. Some people need rebound relationships to try and get over their exes.
Besides my wife the girl that I was into the most broke up with me. I moved on, but she changed her mind and wanted me back. I told her that we obviously broke up for a reason so I didn't take her back. I started dating someone else and even though I really liked the new girl, I never stopped thinking of my ex.
You two have more of a history than we did, so I imagine she still cares about you.
