My ex got into a relationship within 2 weeks after a breakup. What should I do?

✅ How do I really feel right now? Acknowledge your emotions.

✅ They fear being alone and need a rebound to cope.

Sometimes, exes who move on too fast realize their mistake and try to return. If that happens, ask yourself:

✅ Stay focused on your journey, not theirs.

✅ Mute or unfollow if needed.

❓ Will this be healthy, or just a cycle of emotional ups and downs?

5. Shift the Focus Back to YOU

Most of the time, the best move is to keep moving forward.

Hello, I have a question about astral projection. I started to get interested in this a little while after my mum passed in april. I thought I may be able to see her and speak with her if I managed to achieve astral projection. Since this interest, every time i sleep on my back I go into sleep paralysis. However, I cant progress into astral projection because it is very scary for me as I feel like I'm suffocating when this happens. I panic and force myself to wake up. This only ever happened about once a year before this. It sometimes lasts a long time. This has happened about 3 times per week since my mum died, as mentioned on a previous post. I no longer try to go into it anymore(due to the suffocating feeling), but it still happens. I read that sleep paralysis is the pathway to astral projection. Why has this started to happen so frequently since simply taking an interest in it? Is this connected to the afterlife? I am concerned about it as I now cannot seem to stop this happening. Could it be my mum trying to communicate? Im asking due to more knowledge around this in this group.

Final Thought: You Deserve Better

✅ Reconnect with friends and family.

It’s tempting to check their social media, but this only fuels unnecessary pain. Seeing their happy posts or cute pictures can create a false illusion—people only show the best parts online.

✅ Set new personal goals and start working on them.

6. What If They Come Back?

Some people jump into a new relationship quickly because:

Whatever the case, their speed of moving on has nothing to do with you. It doesn’t mean they’re happier or that your relationship was meaningless. It just means they chose a different way to deal with the breakup.

That doesn’t mean you should "wait" for them to realize this. Instead, use this time to become the best version of yourself.

✅ Am I growing from this? Breakups can be a chance to learn and evolve.

Seeing your ex move on so quickly—within just two weeks—can feel like a punch to the gut. It’s natural to feel confused, hurt, or even angry. But here’s the thing: their actions don’t define your worth or your healing process.

2. Focus on Your Own Healing

4. Understand That Rebounds Rarely Last

✅ Remind yourself that appearances don’t reflect reality.

✅ They had someone in mind even before things ended.

What is something brutally honest that needs to be said?

Breakups don’t define you, but how you rise after them does.

✅ Try something new—gym, travel, hobbies.

✔️ Healing is necessary before a healthy connection can form.

✅ They were emotionally checked out before the breakup.

Instead of obsessing over their new relationship, ask yourself:

❓ Do I really want to go back to someone who didn’t take time to heal?

If your ex jumped into something new right away, chances are it’s a rebound relationship—a distraction, not deep love.

Your ex moving on quickly doesn’t mean you lost—it means you now have the chance to build something real with someone who truly values you.

✔️ True love takes time to build.

✔️ Many quick relationships don’t last because they’re based on escaping pain, not genuine connection.

Instead of wondering “Why did they move on so fast?”, ask “What can I do to make my life amazing right now?”

The goal isn’t to "win" the breakup; it’s to come out stronger and more self-aware.

✅ What do I need to move forward? Self-care, new hobbies, or talking to a friend?

❓ Have I grown enough to know what I truly deserve?
