rebound? how long do they last? what is she thinking?

That guy is TOTALLY a rebound and after seeing what else is out there, she probably wants you back. Only small caution I'd say is that she could be using you as a "back up" because she wants to have you as an option just in case. \n\nMost likely, she just wants you back though and realizes that you are what she wants.

2years is when this stuff happens all the time. you either go to the next level or move on so as not to lead anyone on for longer than need be.  Sounds like she may be thinking similar thoughts to you. First have a long hard think about what you really want and then talk to her and talk to her some more and some more communication is very important whether you guys go on  or even if you leave it for a while......... communicate!! Good Luck and what ever the outcome remember no regrets!!

You need rebound sex. Go out and meet someone new.

You can find someone else who is a little different from him. Not a rebound. Before you know it your caught up with someone who you never thought you would be with and liking it.

If you are fighting all the time and you truly feel that there is no fixing it then maybe it is time to end things. It will certainly not be easy but in the long run I think both of you will be happier. I don't recommend, however, jumping into a relationship right away with the girl that you have known for a long time. Take some time and be single for a while. If the girl you have known for a while is truly someone you would like to be with then wait until she won't be just a rebound girl. Go out and have fun and give yourself time to get over your five year relationship.

Yes you are still broken up, but she also wants to get some on the regular.  This can happen when things are physical.  I would let her go, and not sleep with her again.  If you do have sex with her again it's going to get harder and harder to admit it's finished.

no sh*t.  Sometimes lessons are hard to learn, and when they finally sink in, you still wonder if the "good" guy is only the "temporary rebound" guy.

I dont think she is playing a game. You two broke up and i think your prolonged contact with her is making it hard for her to let go. She might well have feelings for you still but having feelings for someone doesn't mean she wants to be with you. You giving her things keeps her feeling obligated to talk to you. I would wish her a happy valentines day and tell her happy birthday when it rolls around but back off to some degree. The only real way to know if she wants to get back together with you is to be straight up and ask or back off and see if she comes looking for you.

she was probably confused.  thinking what is she doing and then feeling guilty.  maybe she wasn't over him yet.  it took me 5 years to get over my ex.  this kinda stuff doesn't happen over night dood.  dont take offense.  just try to be a good friend and supportive. good luck!

Oh, you sound adorable!  Yes, I think this is a confidence issue.  Number one:  do not start dating again right away.  Rebounds do not help self-esteem.  It just makes you dependent on a girl's attention for self-love.  What I do is focus on the love that's already in my life, from friends and family members.  I just try to go out and have fun.  Pretty soon, I realize I'm having fun without a romantic interest.  And then, I become braver in approaching people, because their rejection isn't such a big deal.  I can do fine without them.  And don't look at other women as potential dates.  Look at them as potential friends.  Eventually, you'll find one you want to date and who will help you out of your shell.  But good luck and don't worry about it too much.  This girl isn't worth your time or worry.

He is getting his cake and eating it too.  He is able to get the companionship without the relationship and that is not fair!  You have to find a rebound guy.  I know this might not sound right but you need to have someone else spark your interest to get your mind off of him.  Or if he continues to contact you like he does after another month or so and he does not get another girlfriend there still might be a chance for you.  Just hang around and always be there when he calls but at some point you have to cut him off and see what his reaction is.  If he wonders as to why you are not as available anymore that may spark feelings that you are looking for or you might just have to go with the rebound guy.

1) She wants to soften the blow of the break-up.\n\n2) She doesn't want things to get weird after the break-up (i.e. you stalking her)\n\n3) She might actually want to stay friends.

It could be. And then again it could not.  The real question is YOU, and that you should get rid of any thoughts of him. You have too many questions in your head right now.  If it is rebound, it's THEIR problem.\nI think you should thank your lucky stars, you're rid of him.

Why would you want "good comebacks"?\n\nYou would be accomplishing nothing, unless you wanted to sink to her level.\n\nLet her talk and do as she wishes, she's the one miserable and can't sleep at night.\n\nGo shopping or do something better with your time, instead of wasting it on her thinking of good comebacks.

Give her plenty of space, shes obviously not emotionally ready for a very serious relationship.  \n\nBest advice is to put things on hold, and both of you see other people.  Doubts like this cannot be wiped clean without other experiences.\n\nIf, after you both have some new experiences, you both get back together, then thats great, and if not, you don;t wind up in a relationship either of you regret\n\nEdit .... Ok, I read a little more, and this girl is finished with you.  Make ZERO attempts to contact her for the next couple of months, go out, date other women, have fun, DONT TRY TO GER HER BACK.  It will only push her further away from you.  \n\nIf you move on, and life your life for yourself, then good things will happen
