My ex got into a relationship within 2 weeks after a breakup. What should I do?

Instead of wondering “Why did they move on so fast?”, ask “What can I do to make my life amazing right now?”

5. Shift the Focus Back to YOU

✅ Remind yourself that appearances don’t reflect reality.

Even Captain James T. Kirk was trapped in a woman's body. Don't you think he'd support trans people?

✅ Mute or unfollow if needed.

Most of the time, the best move is to keep moving forward.

✅ Reconnect with friends and family.

Whatever the case, their speed of moving on has nothing to do with you. It doesn’t mean they’re happier or that your relationship was meaningless. It just means they chose a different way to deal with the breakup.

6. What If They Come Back?

✅ Am I growing from this? Breakups can be a chance to learn and evolve.

Why was Boromir corrupted by the One Ring, but not Faramir in The Lord of the Rings?

✅ They had someone in mind even before things ended.

✔️ Many quick relationships don’t last because they’re based on escaping pain, not genuine connection.

Your ex moving on quickly doesn’t mean you lost—it means you now have the chance to build something real with someone who truly values you.

✔️ True love takes time to build.

That doesn’t mean you should "wait" for them to realize this. Instead, use this time to become the best version of yourself.

✅ How do I really feel right now? Acknowledge your emotions.

Some people jump into a new relationship quickly because:

It’s tempting to check their social media, but this only fuels unnecessary pain. Seeing their happy posts or cute pictures can create a false illusion—people only show the best parts online.

Final Thought: You Deserve Better

I wore a Trump hat to a doctor’s visit. The doctor made a strange comment, he was obviously on the opposite political point that make me uncomfortable. What shall I do on my next visit?

Instead of obsessing over their new relationship, ask yourself:

✔️ Healing is necessary before a healthy connection can form.

2. Focus on Your Own Healing

✅ What do I need to move forward? Self-care, new hobbies, or talking to a friend?

Why is Elvis Presley so controversial? Why do so many people love him and others despise him?

Sometimes, exes who move on too fast realize their mistake and try to return. If that happens, ask yourself:

✅ Stay focused on your journey, not theirs.

Breakups don’t define you, but how you rise after them does.

Hi everybody! I have been looking at posts on narcs and narc abuse on here and if has really helped me out a lot. I am currently struggling with my situation and need some advice/support. I met a narc last year, everything seemed to good to be true. Love bombing, always texting calling and taking me on dates. Everything changed when someone warned me about him out in public in front of him and who he is. This caused a conflict with us and the love bombing seized. he would tell me that everything is okay and i can come and talk. He would set a time limit on me and kick me out after that. he would then text me like everything was fine and we hung out again and after that he completely ghosted me for one week. He came back and texted me a week later laughing about the ghosting and acting like nothing had happened. he continued to text me ( not like in the beginning) make plans with me, then on the day of the plans he would just ghost me. One day he would act interested the next silence. i contacted him a month later and he acted like nothing happened. He was on a vacation and sent me a picture of another woman ( someone he allegedly met on the trip) to strike a reaction but i never gave him one. After the trip he came to my place and was extremely rude, accusing me of going on dates with a bunch of men. The next day he accused me of being an alcoholic and that he wanted nothing to do with me but said well maybe we can be "friends" then ghosted me i assumed at this point it was over and i would never hear from him again. He contacted me on the holiday a month later acting like everything was great. We ended up hanging out a month or so later and when we hung out it went well, i thought things were going in the right direction. after we hung out.. silence. I would try to text him and if he replied it would be very short then he just stopped replying. He ghosted me for almost three months. I thought he was done this time and of course he popped up again like nothing happened. At this point i was getting sick of if so i questioned him as to why he dissapeared and always does this. Of course he had some sob story about a injury and family member dying of cancer. I felt pity for him and he gave me an apology.. so i took him back stupidly. things seemed to be going smooth for a couple months, of course until his family member died and his injury got better he never contacted me and was distant. Menawhile, i was there for him during the difficult time for him. He lied to me about the funeral and never wanted to chat. I was chasing him and he would always claim nothing was wrong but when i said i thought he used me when he was down he could not handle it and would always tell me he didnt care and to go away. I would get so upset i would try texting him to work it out he would barelt respond and if he did he would not be nice about it. we did hang out a couple times after that, he would ignore me after. One day i was like hey i think you are seeing someone else, and i was like well ixam seeing someone so no problem if you are he said " buy bye good luck with your new guy stop contacting me" i was devastated and tried to get into contact with him for weeks then i just gave up and accepted it was over. He ended up contacting me a month later acting like everything was fine. He wanted to go out and have drinks i told him i would. He and i both seemed to have a great time. He ends up ignoring me again. I kept texting him trying to figure out what was wrong. He kept saying everything was fine and i said ok can we hang out again? He said maybe i was like why? He just kept saying maybe … our last conversation we had… i said what is wrong ? He said nothing is wrong everything is fine. I asked him why he keeps saying maybe. He said " maybe but i dont want to see you right now" i said why? He saix " im just not feeling it, if i wanted to date i would" i said why did you contact me less then a week ago wanting to go out? He said i didnt.. even though he did. So i said should i just move on or what? He said whatever you want to do. So i said that he was really confusing me and asked him if he had anything more to say before i move on? My messages were turning green so i panicked he blocked me and reacted irrationally. I said " omg did you block me? My messages are not going through. Even texted him on my work phone asking what was up. And called him twice ( please dont judge me i know it is pathetic i never was this type of girl before him) so he replied and said " Ok I'll block you now" then immedietly blocked me. He has never blocked me before since I have met him he will just ghost. Is this ths final discard aka " grand finale? Did i just push him too far? this has upset me so much its hard to even function.

1. Accept That Their Timeline Is Theirs, Not Yours

❓ Have I grown enough to know what I truly deserve?

Seeing your ex move on so quickly—within just two weeks—can feel like a punch to the gut. It’s natural to feel confused, hurt, or even angry. But here’s the thing: their actions don’t define your worth or your healing process.

✅ They were emotionally checked out before the breakup.

✅ Try something new—gym, travel, hobbies.

4. Understand That Rebounds Rarely Last

❓ Will this be healthy, or just a cycle of emotional ups and downs?

✅ They fear being alone and need a rebound to cope.

❓ Do I really want to go back to someone who didn’t take time to heal?

The goal isn’t to "win" the breakup; it’s to come out stronger and more self-aware.

If your ex jumped into something new right away, chances are it’s a rebound relationship—a distraction, not deep love.

✅ Set new personal goals and start working on them.
