Still in love with your ex?
There are no words to describe this crushing experience.
If you still have feelings for them, it can feel like you are being cheated on, even though you are no longer a couple.
Many people who have recently come out of a long term relationship often feel lost without a partner, and try to replace what they have no longer have, aka: the rebound.
It may do nothing to ease the pain, but strange as it sounds, this could work in your favor. Whatever the circumstances of the split from your ex, your ex is going to miss you being around, regardless of what they say or do. More often than not they are looking for company and someone to talk to, a distration, not much more than that.
So how do you react?
Your ex will probably expect some kind of emotional outburst, don't give them one. If you want to get back with some you love, your reaction at this point is important, so be polite, but brief, smile and carry on about your business. No emotional outbursts or dark looks directed at the new person on the scene.
This is the part where you have to sit tight and be patient, and find out how they really feel. If they still have feelings for you they will want to know why you appear to be unfazed that they are seeing someone else, they will want to know how you feel about their new relationship.
Psychologically, this puts you in a very strong position. Expect your ex to get in contact...
