She's just upset you moved on first. Don't pay her any mind, you asked her if there was hope for the two of you and she said no.

She's just upset you moved on first.

This is spot on. Savor it, op.

[–]democracyyy [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

If she clearly states you guys are never getting back together, then she shouldn't be upset that you had sex with another girl. It's pretty straightforward.

[–]IvorySamoan 89ポイント90ポイント  (11子コメント)

Nail->Head.

Normally it's the girl that moves on first in my experience..I'm a slow get-overer, nice moves OP :)

[–]youcantstoptheart 11ポイント12ポイント  (10子コメント)

I think you're thinking of hit the nail on the head wrong. It seems that you assume it means put a nail into a head, when it's hitting the nail on the head (the top part of it) as in accurately.

Sure, why not. You can't really translate nail->head any other way.

[–]sobok [スコア非表示]  (2子コメント)

Yes you can, its basically a shorthand for the longer phrase "hit the nail on the head." I've seen it several times here.

[–]youcantstoptheart [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

And while I understood it for its meaning, I think it's flawed and leads to misunderstanding the phrase.

[–]iKill_eu [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

A better way to say it would be "hit the nail on its head".

That's what the idiom means.

This. I've been on both sides. You never want to be the one who doesn't move on first so, of course when you clearly do, she is upset about it.

If they were currently friends I would feel slightly more empathy for her.

[–]throw22949 240ポイント241ポイント  (13子コメント)

Nope, you've done nothing wrong. She's just pissed that, as the dumpee, you were able to move on more quickly. The whole bit about it being a former friend of hers is just an excuse she went looking for so she doesn't have to admit it's because she dumped you (and got the further ego pleasure of rejecting you when you asked to get back together).

Congratulations, in an amazing come from behind recovery - you've just successfully won the breakup in sudden-death overtime...and got laid. Really, savor it, it doesn't get a lot better than that :-)

Now my ex refuses to talk to me saying she was betrayed

Nope, clear no means you guys were 100% done and she can enjoy moving on with her life. They aren't even current friends. I can see if they were current.

[–]TheLittleGoodWolf 25ポイント26ポイント  (0子コメント)

But still the "betrayal" would have been on her friends part. "No sex with your friends ex" or however the saying goes.

[–]eightofdiamonds 48ポイント49ポイント  (0子コメント)

You're good. She didn't want to be with you but didn't want you to be with anyone else. It doesn't work that way. She'll need to deal with it.

[–]srv656s 9ポイント10ポイント  (0子コメント)

In my experience, the whole "staying friends after you breakup" business doesn't work for most people. If you guys truly cared for each other, you'd want the other person to be happy. However if you cared for the other person it'd probably make you feel awful to see them with someone else. I don't think that's a flaw, that's a natural part of human nature.

[–]FaithwithinReason 17ポイント18ポイント  (0子コメント)

Reminded of the Oscar Wilde quote, "There are many things that we would throw away if we were not afraid that others might pick them up."

She wants to relinquish you as a partner but not let you be with someone else. It's unhealthy to stay around a relationship like this.

You're not in the wrong at all. She's in post break-up moodiness and may be feeling regretful of it now...or whatever. No fault on your part. Since you asked if there was any chance of getting back together, even though she said no, she might have secretly started thinking about it. It's just a jolt to her emotional system that's leaving her butt-hurt.

[–]JDogish 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

For me, ex's only stayed friends until they moved on, and always slowly became very distant friends. You moved on quickly and that has caused her to feel crappy because she hasn't moved on yet. Though now she will likely get more distant pretty quickly. If she can't deal with it, you weren't going to last as friends anyways.

[–]bad_memory_bot [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

Just putting it out there that clearly there are still weird feelings. Maybe it's best to cool it on the friendship and in like 6+ months try again. You don't need some weird trip every time you have sex.

[–]theoceangrewquickly 4ポイント5ポイント  (0子コメント)

I have found in my life a lot of girls become very angry if you move on before they do if they have broken off the relationship, I probably just have poor taste in women because I know most females are great but it seems like it's a power thing you know? They want to feel like they "won" in the end by breaking up with you and if you just move on straight away they lose that sense of power, they feel like the ones who were left behind and it is harder on them.

That's just my take on it

[–]B0h1c4 3ポイント4ポイント  (1子コメント)

I think I can see why she would be upset. I'm guessing she's probably not really upset with you as much as she's upset with the situation.

It's kind of a shitty situation for her. Things that are likely uncomfortable for her:

  • Her ex-boyfriend moved on from her really quickly
  • Her ex-boyfriend just had sex with someone she used to be really close with
  • Someone she used to be really close with had sex with her newly ex'd-boyfriend

That sucks. I know I wouldn't want to be in her shoes. Going through a breakup is bad enough without immediately seeing your ex move on, and especially with someone you know really well.

We're you "wrong"? Technically no. You are broken up and you can do who you want. But is it reasonable for her to have no negative feelings about this? I don't think so.

I'm a guy. I would have made every effort to keep rebounds on the DL for at least a few months just out of respect for the ex. Imagine if she banged one of your acquaintances the same night. You would probably not be crazy about it either.

In the end... breakups suck. I highly advise the clean break. Don't try to be friends right away. Be amicable, but take some time apart. Then maybe somewhere down the line you will be friends... maybe not. But if you are going to try to be close friends right after a break up, you have to understand that it's going to be tenuous for a while. Let the dust settle.

Honestly I wouldn't mind if she slept with someone I know. Still we've been split up a month and we'd been on a downward slope before that

She wanted you on her leash, you didn't let her.

She's your ex, she's not your concern anymore.

[–]alittlebirdy1 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

Absolutely not. You can't betray someone by having sex with someone else if you're not in a relationship, and that person has told you that you are 100% over.

She's being immature about this. She's hurt because you're moving on, and she doesn't want you to do so (or wants you to wait until she feels that it's okay).

It can be tough to keep an amicable friendship with an ex, as so many people have these kinds of jealousy issues.

You don't owe her anything, and you did nothing wrong.

[–]iCommentSomtimes 2ポイント3ポイント  (1子コメント)

I would definitely say this belongs in /r/relationships.

That being said, it is a pretty quick answer so nbd.

I agree with everyone else. She made it clear it's over. You moved on, she's upset. Don't worry about it, not your fault at all. Go live life and have fun.

[–]headversusheart 1ポイント2ポイント  (2子コメント)

nooo as a lady i can put myself in her shoes and i still don't think she should be so dramatic. i can see where she is upset, it would obviously hurt to know that about a recent ex but she was the one who cut it off and if you say they haven't spoke then its not a huge betrayal. but i also don't think being friends or talking at all is in the cards for you two. i think she is being a little dumb to be honest. if you guys were broken up, you can have sex with whoever you like. the only thing i would have trouble with is that you said you were still "friends" and slept with her old friend. its almost equivalent to a girl sleeping with her best friends bf or crush. yet another reason remaining friends with an ex is the fucking dumbest shit ever. also how did this conversation come up? did the friend tell your ex or did you?

[–]Radical9595[S] 2ポイント3ポイント  (1子コメント)

It was my friend who told my ex I didn't think it was necessary for me to tell my ex who I've been sleeping with.

[–]AHandsomeNeckbeard 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

The question really boils down to, do you value the friendship of your ex, or your ability to be with other people more? if it's the second one, you might wanna wait until you're over her

[–]illimitable1 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

You didn't have an agreement of any kind not to sleep with other people, so there is no way you could have been untrue to that agreement.

[–]rockettbambam [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

Technically, you're not wrong for sleeping with someone while being a single guy ESPECIALLY because she said there was no chance at another relationship... I don't know about her, but I know if my ex were to have sex with some random that I don't know it wouldn't even effect me.. But if it's someone I DID know? That would bother me. Don't know why... But that's probably why she's so pissed.

[–]miminothing [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

Unfortunately this is one of those things that will ALWAYS piss off a girl whether or not she's in the right. Get used to it.

[–]strained_brain [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

Could be that there is a complex hostile relationship between the ex and your one-night stand-girl. Maybe she feels betrayed because you should have known how angry the ex was with the friend?

It sounds like she's playing games. She wants to sleep with other men but doesn't want you to sleep with other women.

[–]The-Ban-Hammer -1ポイント0ポイント  (0子コメント)

You were supposed to be a "good little boy," be friends, let her do her thing FIRST, so she could be the one in power. This is not a gender thing but, generally, an ex-couple thing. Whoever fucks first after the relationship has the power, and the other person becomes the victim. Doesn't ever matter that things are over. As others mentioned here, you "moved on" first and you were supposed to "let her" move on first. You did nothing wrong. Don't apologize. And carry on.

[–]OrchidReverie -1ポイント0ポイント  (0子コメント)

She wants to control you. You're seeking validation from her by remaining friends. She will hate you so long as you date other girls with the same or greater value than her.

You're doing the right thing moving on and fucking other girls. You do you. Get other girls. You'll let go of your ex naturally as you replace your life with new girls and friends.

If the girl you slept with and your ex were still good friends I'd say it was iffy but if they haven't been talking in years I'd say you're in the clear. Your ex said you had no chance of getting together so you have no obligation to her but because you're moving on she's getting jealous

Woman here. You have done nothing wrong. If they were still friends and still talking, I would say the don't fuck the ex's friend/ex boyfriend rule would apply. If reconciliation was a clear no and they don't talk too bad for her then. She can kick rocks. There's no betrayal.

I'l up the ante on this one: Back in the late 90s my wife left me. (not a good time in my life. Anyway) In the course of the legal issues I found out she was already dating, to which I said to her; "How would you feel if I was already dating?" She told me she'd be happy that I was moving on.

Fast forward a couple of months and I am seeing someone. Soon to be ex wife comes by the house to get a few items and I inform her that she'll "be happy to know I'm dating someone." The look on her face was priceless.

We all feel something to those we have shared part of our lives, sometimes we can be friends and sometimes we cannot. You did nothing wrong, and maybe she'll realize this too. Best of luck to you.

[–]superfuels [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

Most of the time, two people who don't get over each other after a breakup is the result of ego-ism, meaning she's not missing you, or pissed that it's her former friend, but rather that you got over her before she got over you. That's it.

Keep banging away, forget about her, you offered reconciliation and then got it in first, she just maddddd
