Is my ex in a rebound?

She’s your “ex” now. It seems to me she is making that very apparent to you.

You can only be “made” jealous if you’re feeling jealousy.

She’s into you enough to try to make you jealous, but not enough to try to work things out right now (maybe not ever). Move on, don’t act jealous at all, and find someone mature enough to not try to play games with you like she is.

She is doing it to get to you. Your best bet is to sever all contact. She is thinking you are sleeping around and such because you are ignoring her and is thus trying to ‘retaliate’ in the same manner. Either way, she is being manipulative or just mean in general and is best to forget about and avoid.

Welcome to Fluther. You noticed that you maintained communication during the “30 day no contact”. And you called her about “picking up something you bought.” She has moved on, and is not acting vindictive, she is just making it clear she has moved on.

Stop calling her, don’t answer her calls or texts, and look somewhere else. It’s over.

I’ll agree with zenvelo given the situation that he contacted her first.

Yeah, I noticed that you didn’t even go through with the no contact for 30 days rule. If you had, you probably would know for sure right now where she stands.

She let you know, in kind of a creepy way, that she has a new boyfriend. She probably loves the idea of having this new boyfriend and thinking that you are still in love with her too. Some stupid girls like to make sure that they always have one in the wings, even if they have to hurt someone’s feelings to maintain that. She’s treating you like her backup dude. Yuck!

Institute a no contact rule for 6 months and stick to it (no texting, phoning e-mailing, skyping, driving by her house, asking other people about her or any other kind of contact). And if she contacts you, ignore her, and block her.

Not sure how old you guys are, but some young women absolutely love the drama of this type of situation, but it’s not very mature and is likely to lead to more heartache for all parties.

If I were you, I would try to find someone to date that is not into all of these jealous, mean, manipulative head games. Find someone who actually likes you and wants to be with you. Good luck.

P.S. Like some of us have already said on another thread, don’t go looking for your next girlfriend in a bar! You’re much more likely to find someone who really likes you if you spend your time doing what you need to do and doing what you like to do (meaning: activities that you already enjoy and are part of your regular life) Otherwise, you are likely to hook up with someone who is only viewing you through beer goggles! Not good.

She being a bitch (notice I didn’t say she is one). IGNORE and Blocksville on every form of contact possible with this person for a good ½ of a year.

@jlelandg, I like this because it definitely sets you up for a lay 6 months from now that you can in turn ‘fire and forget’ ;)

She’s not into you at all, and has moved on. You move on, too.

I think you literately should try re-reading your post from third-person. Then ask yourself why this question isn’t a “no-brainer”.

Whether she’s just trying to make you jealous or she’s really dating someone else – why are you putting up with this!? Why do you still talk and respond to her?

If you cut her out completely, she’ll come crawling back in a few weeks – then you’ll have to decide whether or not you want a girl that treats you that way. I’d save the gift for a quality girl.

To answer the stated question, she may be in a rebound relationship, but at this point it’s not really your business.
