Moving on. Opinions pls.

[Caaaaaaarl]

Please excuse me. English isn't my first language and I am very nervous as it's my first time posting.

I was talking to a friend recently and had a discussion about how long we'd leave it if our prospective relationships broke down. I am aware it's a weird conversation but it stemmed from (is that the correct term?) a mutual friend of ours (mid 40s) has barely been single for a few weeks out of a pretty mid length relationship and is now back dating. This isn't the first time this friend jumps from one relationship to another with minimal (usually a week-2 weeks) breathing space between.

My opinion on the matter is 'whatever, I don't care, not my life, not my problem' but my friend on the other hand gets quite passionate when talking about it. They think that surely one needs some time alone after being with someone for quite a few years.

Opinions please.

You're right, not your life; not your problem. Your friend isn't a friend to your mutual friend, and has no business judging how anyone else deals with their relationships.

it all depends. lots of reason to move on quickly.
maybe the relationship was shit for a long enough period of time that the mourning and soul searching is done.
if no children than it's really not an issue.
