Title: Getting your ex back

By: blazed

I was in a relationship for 2+ years. She fell in love. I did too, but the problem was I had denied my feelings all that time. I rarely expressed to her how I really felt about her and her 5 year old daughter. Well needless to say we broke up. I never treated her badly. As a matter of fact we complimented each other very well. The problem besides me expressing my love to her on how I felt for her was that I had a plan. I was always very honest with her. My plan was to move to Atlanta and start a new life (I was very stubborn about this). I am a teacher and they pay teachers there better than here in Miami. When we broke up 2 weeks later I had opened my eyes and realized what i had lost. So i tried to make things work. I figured there was nothing wrong with expressing myself since I rarely did it. I even proposed to her, but she declined. Unfortunately she had met some other guy, at salsa lessons which she went once a week for one hour. Now i know from a reliable source there was actually no cheating involved. I’m 31, the new guy she is dating just turned 23. She is 24 going on 25. Right after we broke up she started immediately dating this guy. The new guy moved in as of August 1, 2005 after a month and half. She has a 5 year old daughter. We saw each other for lunch on Tuesday, July 26, 2005 and parted ways. However, the last emails of that same day expressed a solid chance to rekindle if it does not workout with her new relationship. And i just found out that as of August 13, 2005 she is engaged.

Can you address the issue of a rebound relationship which is the case with my Ex. How long does a rebound last? How dangerous is it? Do rebounds work? Whats the time frame?

Can you address the issue of rekindling an old relationship? (i am very hopeful that she will wake up and open her eyes given the fast paced nature of the her case)
