Is This A Rebound?

i was in a relationship with a guy for four years and we were planning to someday be married. when he finally moved into an apartment, he broke up with me because he didn't want to be tied down and wanted to see what else was out there.

during the time we were broken up he still treated me like his girlfriend. we were extremely intimate and he even held my hand, told me he couldn't see himself marrying anyone else, and that he still had feelings for me.

recently he moved closer to his parents and just got into another relationship with someone from elementary school who found him on myspace. she lives 5 hours away from him and they only spent one weekend together. he's in love with this girl after only talking for a few weeks, already talking marriage, and her moving to where he lives.

he also started talking to me recently and i don't know what to do. he's moving way too fast with this girl which makes me think it's a rebound....but i don't know what to do. i need your help!

Is This A Rebound?

Sure seems like a rebound to me.

The thrill of a new relationship is exhilarating. Most people start talking about walking down the aisle with someone they really like after only a couple of weeks. The beginning of the relationship is always the mushy, dazed, lovesick part of the relationship. You stick together for a while longer, and the OTHER stuff pops to the forefront, like how he always picks his toes at the dinner table, and how she's always forgetting to flush... You get the idea. That exhilarating rush NEVER lasts.

I wouldn't be too worried, then. Of course, if he's jetting into another relationship so quickly after four years with you, do you even want him back to begin with? Search your heart for the answer.

Is This A Rebound?

not sure. it sounds like he has a fear of comitment. Hes not ready for marriage. hes not right for you. he might do the same thing he did to you with this girl. when he feels hes getting close to her he'll tell her that he want to go explore. I say you move on and find your true love. Good Luck.
