How would u feel if she tells u that she's getting married (after 5 mths breakoff)? Then she kept sms u good night on and off? Or tells you she missed you terribly? And she also ask u to do stuffz for her (like fixing computer and stuff)? While all this you are just being together with a new GF of around 3-4mths.
Will you lie and tell your new GF dat you have completely no feelings all for your Ex? Despite the fact your new GF knows all about the above (phone calls and gd nite sms) and you did try very to dissuade your Ex to rethink about marriage since you had accidentally sms wrongly your new GF while trying to sms to dissuade your Ex in the process?
I think you would more or less guessed that I'm the "New GF" in this scenerio. I got together with him in late April although I haf known him as a friend for about a year. But I felt it was too hasty when I knew that he just broke off with his Ex in early March! and she was the one who initated the breakup.
Even though he kept saying that he only kept in contact with his Ex via sms and phone calls and would not meet her up, later I found out (when I checked his hp infront of him after wanting some concrete assurance that he has nothing to hide) that he actually wanted to meet her up to settle some stuffz with her even though he had repeatedly insisted that he didnt and wouldn't meet up with her a few days before. I was hurt and very angry...and felt used since I felt he's looking for a rebounce relationship and wasn't being very honest with me. He tried to assure me by allowing me to check his HP whenever I wish but WTF, he would clear all her msg from her if he knows that I am checking anyway. In addition, whenever I asked if either his Ex or he had initated any contact recently , he would repeatedly deny.
To top it all off, he finally admitted last month that he was VERY affected by the news of the breakup but again tried to assure me that it was in the past (in May).
Which means he still have feelings for her while we are together...which speak volumns of why he doesn't really wanna chat or acknowledge with me whenever I try to contact him in the initial stage of our RS even though he did try to be physically intimate with me (hugs, kisses) when we were going out that time...
I am still upset over the fact that I couldn't get any emotional support from him during that period even though he is working on it now after I voiced my unhappiness over why he had been so concerned about his Ex's emotional upport while he doesn't seem to bother about mine. Do you know that he only 'erm, errr..hum' thoughout the phone conversion and didn't bother to say my name or say hi, bye when I called him twice in the initial stage of our RS?! At 1st I was wondering why he act so funny that way...since any BF would be absolutely thrilled if their New GF called right?! Then I don't bother to call him at all....and it still make me sore and unhappy to know that he just learnt that his Ex was getting married and was UPSET when I called him the second time.
To make it worse, and to add to my insecurity, he and his Ex had SEX on their 1st date! Although he claimed that they both kinda of knew each other for around 3 years...and she was the one who made the 1st move (what a whore and f***ing slut! she is a primary school teacher yet bedded so many guys!)
All these revelations make me very unhappy whenever I think of all these things. I realised that they affected me greatly since i would wonder and ponder over little things...like why whenever we took photos together, he will be very proper and only put his hands around me while he would KISS his Ex. And that he would rant how expensive and 'wu liao' the Neo prints whenever we passed by one but he still keep those faded stupid Neo prints of him KISSING his Ex. Thinking of this, I really regreted to have done 'it' with him.
Sorry if my post doesn't make sense. I really need a place to rant it all out before I go crazy by the hurt I am experiencing. Although he treats me well...but I find myself unhappy. Am I too stuck over the past to move on this RS?

On the other hand, if your bf is able to move on easily from a relationship of
five years - either the relationship itself sux big time, or there is something real wrong with him and I would be telling you to worry like hell.
Yes, you too hasty to be in a relationship with him, thus facing such problems now. I am not saying that by taking your time, you wouldn't have to face such thingy, however, at the period of time - he is just not ready, emotionally. You are at high risk of a rebound and because his emotional dependency is elsewhere, he lack physical dependency. Sad to say, this void is filled by you currently. Most man have this ability - the ability to shut emotions and mate (Ample use of Mars energy).
If I were to say IF HIS ex were to return -
I am pretty sure you will be kicked aside immediately. He is simply not stable for a new relationship to take place in his life. You ought to reconsider your possible option.

Cheers
