I mean, he's a narcissist so therefore I believe he is almost definitely love bombing a girl right now, however the cheeky bugger๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜ฎ๐Ÿ˜‚ I'm offended but this is hilarious. Having Christmas meals out with a girl he's only just started speaking to? WTAF๐Ÿ˜‚

How long long were you together for if it was years I can understand you being upset ,if it was a few weeks you need to move on
And not everyone you don't like is a,Narcissist

Only on Mumsnet would no one raise an eyebrow to a marriage ending in one month and someone dating again the following. Of course it's odd. Of course it would create an emotional response.

Are they married ?
It's not clear.

Uricon2 · 23/12/2024 20:53

Very odd you're so interested in what he's doing.

My cousin dumped her boyfriend of 6 years on Christmas and by mid-jan was on holiday in Italy with a new guy. She and new guy now have 2 kids and are getting married ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ whatever makes people happy I think.

(Move on!!!)

Many people โ€œcheck outโ€ of a relationship a good few months before the relationship actually ends. My ex and I (unbeknownst to each other at the time), didnโ€™t feel anything romantic for each other for around 12 months before we split up. We were both waiting for the spark to come back but it never did.

You could say we both moved on very quickly, we were both going on dates within a month or so of him moving out, but it felt like weโ€™d been single for a year so didnโ€™t feel too soon at all.

Going on a christmas dinner date isn't love bombing. It sounds cute.

Some men canโ€™t be alone. She could be any old lump of lard in lipstick and a pretty frock.

How rude. She's done nothing wrong here

OnlyMabelInTheBuilding · 24/12/2024 06:47

Thereโ€™s nothing wrong with him doing this.

How do you know anyway?

You do post about him a lot, try to move on.

I wonder if it's more restaurants get booked quite far in advance and they must have had this arranged a while back?

Probably meant to take op

icelolly12 · 23/12/2024 20:22

Is it only me that would also be hurt by an ex moving on so quickly?

Also this isn't a coffee in Costa, it's Christmas- a time spent with your significant other/s

Edited

On christmas eve eve?

So what if she is?

FancyNewt · 24/12/2024 06:50

I'd feel a bit put out too OP. People don't immediately 'move on'. As some weird posters here imply. Just count yourself lucky that you're not sat with him.

leia24 · 24/12/2024 06:51

My ex was in court for a non mol hearing with me on 4th September and on holiday with another woman on 6th September ๐Ÿ‘

Dobbythechristmaself · 24/12/2024 06:52

Thereโ€™s something very wrong with the people on this thread. You can feel the enjoyment of the sneering.

GRex · 24/12/2024 06:55

Some people have bad relationships and need time on their own to break a pattern. Others feel better moving on straight away. It's perfectly reasonable for a single man to go to dinner with a new date. OP, all this bitterness is not good for you, move on yourself and you'll feel better.

End of November is almost a full month ago. You've finished, he's moved on.

LittleBitAlexisLaLaLaLaLa · 24/12/2024 06:59

One of my pet peeves on MN are people who declare others to be narcissists without any examples of said narcissism.

I really never have given a shit how any of my exes spend Christmas as long as itโ€™s as far away from me as possible.

CookieMonster28 · 24/12/2024 07:00

That is weird. Hopefully he'll get bad wind from the sprouts and put her off.

GeorgeMichaelsCat · 24/12/2024 07:01

It is a bit galling when you see them on a date so soon after you've broken up. He is free to do what he wants as he is single etc, but it can still feel upsetting like you meant nothing to them.

ChampagneLassie · 24/12/2024 07:04

Broke up with my ex husband in November, in Dec he took his new GF to the Caribbean for a holiday to meet her parents ๐Ÿซจ
theyโ€™ve been married a few years now so it must have been the right call but astonished me at the time. And I felt very hurt

No I know!! It's totally silly of me I know!! But I'm quite offended๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

Is it because it's Christmas dinner, or would any dinner be as offensive?

How does love-bombing someone prove they are a noecissist?

I wasnโ€™t talking about the woman. I was talking about the exโ€™s approach to moving on.

StormingNorman · 24/12/2024 09:56

OnlyMabelInTheBuilding · 24/12/2024 06:48

So what if she is?

It doesnโ€™t matter what she is. My post was about the manโ€™s attitude, not the woman.
