A male United States age 36-40, *oog75 writes:

So me and my ex broke up about 1 week ago. Stupidly I tried to rush things, and ended up making things worse. She said the reason we broke up is because she wanted space and was not sure about the relationship. She also said that we had been through a lot and she needed to get things straight in her life. She is currently dating my former best friend, and says she is in love with him even though they don't know each other! This guy kind of planned to get with her because I think he was jealous of us, and she fell for his niceness. Right now we haven't spoken for a week and I am in the process of keeping busy and reconnecting with old friends. How long should I wait to contact her and see how she feels about me? Do you think she will contact me first? Am I doing the right thing by leaving her alone right now?

I think you are doing the right thing by leaving her alone right now.

It sounds to me like she broke up with you because she wanted to start a relationship with your former friend. She may come back to you if things don't work out with him, and then it will be down to you to decide whether to try again with her.

But if she is saying that she is in love with him, then she might stay with him. If she does want to try again with you at some point, I would just be careful, because it sounds to me like she might be the type to play games and string people along, especially if she isn't sure what she wants.

I think you are doing the right thing though by keeping busy and spending time with your friends, don't let her get you down. x
