Feeling down about my ex

[jsw]

Hi all I am new here and looking for advice

I dated my ex for seven years. We grew together and were each others first love, sex, and real relationship. I loved her and she loved me.

This last year was a little rocky: we took a break, briefly, in May to get back together. The summer went fine, until September we got into a big fight and she told me that she was finished. She also said that she sometimes had feelings for me and sometimes did not. I left, only to have her call me again saying she made a mistake. I took her back and started to work on things.

The thing is that her family has been going through a very bad time, with a rough separation of her parents. This has weighed on her tremendously and has affected us as well. I thought much of our issues were stemming from this, even tho there were some things we each could have done.

I was working on my emotional recognition and expression as this was her biggest problem with me, and things were great, to the point where she told me in Nov that she never felt closer to me.

Then the first week of Jan came and she broke up with me out of the blue. She said her feelings werent there and that i did not make her feel special. I know that we could have gone out more but I am an MBA student with two jobs,and she had a fove course semester, just graduated, and had a busy serving job working all weekend. Time and money were clear constraints of us.

After a week she started hanging out with this person who always tried to come between us, and within a month became official.

this person is complete opposite of me and what she said found attractive in a person (dont mean to sound snotty): he is fat, has no education, only 20, and flips burgers, and he and his family have a had a bad history of drugs, pregnancy, and addiction.

I dont know what to do.. I have been in NC for about a month now, she says she has never been happier and they also say love you to each other. Can this be real? Is it a rebound? Do i just stay the course?

"she says she has never been happier and they also say love you to each other."

How do you know this if you are in NC? Focus on school and moving on. She probably will try to come back within the next few months, but there is also a chance that they will stay together. You have no control over it, all you have control over is how you let it affect you.
