Her Ex Is Accusing Her Of Being Heartless Because They Only Broke Up A Month Ago, Yet She Already Has A New Fling
When you hear stories of people “moving on quickly” after a breakup, it’s usually about how they met someone else not long after a split.
But sometimes, moving on fast means you simply got over the breakup and were able to proceed with your life faster than your partner.
This woman is feeling a little guilty after her now ex-boyfriend stated that he wanted her back and accused her of moving on too fast.
She’s 23 and was once in a great relationship with her 24-year-old ex-boyfriend. They were together for four years, and she has fond and sweet memories of their time.
“He thought of me as most important, and I was crazy about him,” she explained.
“We never had any problems with our relationship. It was always chill and lovely.”
When she and her ex decided to break up a month ago, there wasn’t any bad blood, as it was a mutual decision. At least, she believed it was.
Then, a few weeks ago, they ran into each other on the same beach by coincidence and ended up sitting and chatting.
Her ex told her he needed to talk to her, and she was worried since he had a stern look on his face.

“We got to talking, and he confessed he still loves me very much, wants me back, and said it’s painful without me,” she recalled.
“I also confessed that I moved on, and it’s true; I did. I’m busy with my life, career, family, friends, and a fling.”
Her ex was shocked when she revealed all of this to him, making her feel extremely isolated.
She apologized for how he felt but pointed out how this was inevitable, as they’re two young people with a lot of years left to live, even after a breakup.
Suddenly, her ex demanded they fix their relationship and became insistent. She told him no, but as a compromise, offered to be his friend if he genuinely missed her.
After going back and forth, she had to tell her ex she didn’t have romantic feelings for him anymore, and he was livid, accusing her of never loving him and telling her she was heartless for already having a fling.
“I was being an awkward mess while he was confessing his love for me, as it made me feel uncomfortable and awkward,” she admitted.
“He was angry and hurt, and while I can empathize with his feelings, I’m also annoyed.”
She started getting frustrated with her ex because if he had shown that kind of love for her before they broke up, she would have stayed with him.
Instead, when they split, she was under the impression he was ready to move forward, too.
They chatted for a bit longer and finished their conversation on an emotional note, with her boyfriend depressingly accepting the fact that their relationship was 100% over.
Upon reflecting on the interaction, she’s wondering if she truly did move on too quickly.
Should she feel bad for starting fresh, or is it a natural thing to do?
