Is he on the rebound?

I broke up with my bf of 2 1/2 years. He protested and would not stop calling. Finally he stopped for about a month. I missed him terribly and called him. He said he is dating a co-worker and told me to move on. Since it has been such a short period of time, does this mean he is on the rebound? Is it double jeopardy because she is a co-worker?

Why did you break up with him? Remember that when you start desparately wanting him back. Regardless of his current dating status, have the problems changed? What is different? Why would it work this time?


Yes it sounds like he is on the rebound and it isn't a good idea to date a co-worker but that issue is secondary to the one I just mentioned.

The bigger question is why do you care? Focus on your healing. When he stopped calling you, you missed him, and called him. Is it a case of really missing him or something else - fear of being alone, fear he's moving on before you, wanting what you can't have? Think about it. Know thyself.
