It means that she has a new relationship. Try not to read more into it than necessary. It's time for you to move on, too. Your relationship with her is over.

Was it someone she already knew before you separated? If so, then it's understandable that you would be suspicious. My ex-wife did much the same. And that was with someone she'd known for 6 months before.

I was browsing a divorce forum a while back (must have been bored that day) and found that this is actually really common in separations. No suggestion of infidelity before the split, but one partner has waited till they have a 'back up' plan to avoid being alone, then made the break and started seeing the other person within a few weeks (or days...). Not much help, but you're not alone. Ultimately: does it matter? You don't need events like this to know many people are deceitful schemers.

I don't feel alone but sorry to hear about your wife. Some people are just sad and use others to get another person. Why do people do it? This society is w*k

excuse my language

Been there, done that. Its not worth your time and energy worrying about what she's doing. Move on, and enjoy your life.

Girls can get a new relationship very fast ...if they want to.

.....and of course she left you for someone else! even if she never met this 'someone else' when she broke up with but usually people break up in order to seek other potential partners.

She never liked kissing but the loss is 3 days later I danced with someone else at a pub and nearly kissed them without her knowing about any of this

*sigh* Sometimes, I wonder if I could get a sense of tact drop-shipped to certain members...

She might have left you for someone else; she may have started seeing someone else to get you off her mind. There are countless motivations and possibilities - but what good does it serve you? I know the situation stinks and hurts... but it can be worse. Years ago, came to find out my fiance had been involved with someone else for six months before things were broken off between us. Looking back, I'm just thankful that I learned how weak and dishonest she was before we got married and not afterwards. And if I'd remained with her, I wouldn't be in the wonderful relationship that I am lucky to share now. Now it's time for you to move on, not to dwell on her... otherwise, it's easy to get consumed with anger and envy.

Despite the possibilities, the most likely is that She did just exactly that:Left JM2008 for someone else. Sometimes the truth
is very upsetting but I believe its better to face up to it than to ignore it. People move on at their own pace, Ive found that often times I simply cant force myself to move on...just to live with those hard feelings and wait for them to pass.

And in the absence of definitive proof, why choose to find the worst possible answer? There are a lot of reasons why they could have split, why she is in a new relationship. We determine how we see the world, and we choose a lot more than we realize.

Because its so totally OBVIOUS! :idea: Why waste your time running through all possible motives?? Even if we determine how we "see" the world, that dont change the fact that an objective reality exists that is independent of our perception. In a nutshell:You dont create your own reality, reality imposes itself on you and the only choice you have is to acknowledge it or try to ignore it.

Might I add, IME women are notoriously dishonest and disingenuous when they end relationships. They often simply cut the other person and keep their true motivations concealed, perhaps not to hurt the guys feelings and/or to incite his wrath and envy. :P

IME? I don't know what that stands for, but I sure hope you're not referring to all women because that's quite possibly the most false statement I've seen all day. You think men aren't dishonest when they end relationships?
