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?

Welcome to the board!!

It's possible he's on the rebound some guys heal by rushing into another relationship...kind of as an ego boost to prove to themselves that they still are desierable to women.....and of course to prove to the exes and the rest of the world that they are capable of living life without their ex. Or he could have lied and said he was dating a co-worker knowing that you'd never know otherwise. Maybe he wanted to make you feel as foolish and you probably made him feel...lets face it...you breaking up with him and not taking him back was a blow to his ego and he's not about to forget easily. I wouldn't really consider this double jeopardy though. Just focus on you and leave him to his own...he obviously doesn't want you around right now...which I know can be hard. Just try and stay occupied with other things. Good luck and keep us posted!!
