A male United States age 36-40, anonymous writes:

My ex and I were together almost 3 years. We broke up, and a week later, she had been hanging out with her best guy friend since high school and they started dating. We have been broken up about 4.5 months and now they are in a relationship. She and I had been hanging out and in contact up until now, when she said we can't talk bc she is in a relationship. about a month ago she told me she wasn't over me yet. Is this a rebound? Please just answer the question, and don't tell me she isn't worth me, to move on, ect. I realize that I need to move on, I just wanna hear what you all think.

I agree with the other advice. There are many reasons why she may have a change of mind so quickly. Whether it is because she was scared of starting something you again, the other man pressured her to stop talking to you, she was afraid and unsure of the unknown territory that you were both getting into, she feared you may not feel the same, or other things in her life may be taking over. Any reason could explain it, but it is hard for an outsider to understand your situation with this woman.

Follow your intuition for guidance and have patience, because things have a way of working out.

Good luck to you!

This is verified as being by the original poster of the question

It's goodto hear some other opinions. I guess what bothers me is that she and this guy have been friends forever which makes me think it might not be a rebound. On the other hand he has been around and she never had a desire to date untill she was hurting, maybe he is just something comfortable and easy. What's really confusing is that she wants to hang out and be friends one min. And then says we can't ever talk again a few hours later???

if she said that just a month ago then she didn't magically change her mind, probably just changed what she said to make herself feel better now. you obviously don't want to give up and that is because you have good instincts and you know her really well after dating her for three years. you might hear from everyone you need to move on, but by posting this question you know deep down what you really want to happen. plus, no one knows her as well as you.
