I've been dating this really great guy for the past two months, it's going really well and I really like him. We're not official yet although he did bring it up a while ago but at the time I thought it was a bit soon.
6 months ago I ended a 2 and a half year relationship with my ex, it was very hard but I felt like I had to do it. We didn't see each other enough and I was feeling like he wasn't making enough effort with me which built up a lot of resentment on my part and I was unhappy. We stayed friends after and even hung out a couple of times, although we don't actually hang out any more we speak occasionally and that's the extent of our "friendship" now.
I've dated other people since our break up, I've mostly been dealing with it well, other than occasionally I will remember something and get upset. When we were together he was my best friend and we had so much fun together, I felt like he really 'got' me. I've been putting the fact that I'm getting upset over him down to feeling sad that I've lost a friend. Although lately I've been crying a lot, little things that I remember will set me off, and then I'll feel terrible because I know this really great guy likes me (and I like him too) and I'm crying over my ex. I don't want him back, I know I would just be unhappy, but I do miss him as a person. I don't want to end things with this new guy, when I'm with him I think about him, not my ex. I really like him. I don't feel like this is a rebound but I'm also aware this isn't fair on him. Do I have to end it with him? I just don't know what I should do
