Broke up with my girlfriend around 3 weeks ago. Been feeling really really good, the relationship was stale so it was nice to be out.

Everything was fine till I found out she slept with some random guy at a party. Felt like a punch to the gut.

Was that before or after you broke up?

If it was before, then you made a good decision.

If it was after, she has the right to do it as she is no longer in any relationship.

No reason to continue feeling bad.

ah man. I totally feel you. This has happened to me with every break up. No sadness or doubt until they hook up with someone else, and then my emotional cortex goes comatose. It's like, I'm fine at first cuz saying "I'm okay without her" is easy or even soothing, but saying "she didn't want me" is a fuckin' horrifying realization. It's a strange dichotomy.

Don't know what else to say. It's kind of an illogical, unavoidable reaction, I think. Or at least, that's been my experience. As cliche as it sounds, try to be happy for her. If she found someone new, that means you can too. And if your relationship wasn't working anyway, you're both better off.

Call up some friends. Grab some beers. Watch some Starcraft. Life goes on.

Hope this is at all helpful. Cheers.

Oh no, she didn't do anything wrong, she totally is in the right here, don't get me wrong.

It just fucking sucks x.x

Yeah, that's about right. Eh, having a mini-LAN with a few mates tonight, so I think I'll be ok.

The annoying part is that she didn't find someone new, she just had random sex at a party.

The fact that she had random sex at a party so soon after the breakup obviously means that she has been severely affected by it. It could be that the breakup left her with a huge emotional void and she resorted to sleeping around to feel wanted by other guys. It could be that she wanted to have "bounceback" sex to prove that she could do without you or something. Either way, it stands that she hasn't gotten over you, if not she would have just proceeded along with her life normally instead of exhibiting such behaviour beyond her normal patterns.

You could try taking that as a compliment rather than bashing yourself up over it.

I dunno man, I think she's always been very sexually active, so I wouldn't put it past being normal behavior. Certainly there is an element of reboundyness though.

I understand your reasons for breaking up, I just hope that the way you found out is you talking to her yourself. It's best to just cut all ties if you break up. It's gonna hurt while you still care about the person, but the only thing you really should do is go out and find new people too.

On the subject of her rebounding, yeah it's a sign of her missing you and feeling like she can't keep the relationships she creates, so she tries to emulate the intimacy she just lost. You can be pretty sure that this is a sign of her not being over you.

As long as guys keep aching heart over this situation, women will continue to do it. Of course she wants to hurt her ex. It's only normal.
hold on! i'm callin' you back to the pool, and we'll dazzle them all!

She always had the 'right' to do whatever the fuck she wanted, you don't own someone because you're in a relationship with them.

There is an unwritten contract between two people in a romantic relationship that they do not have sex with anyone else. Of course one could still do it, but it constitutes a breach of contract.
