i go to seek a Great Perhaps

I don’t understand how people can be in a long term relationship (with one person for more than 3 years), live with them and then less than 5 months after that relationship ended, enter into a brand new relationship.

People do it all the time, but I just don’t get it. When Shawn and I broke up and I moved out I didn’t even kiss another guy for over a year. And when I did kiss that guy, I felt like I was cheating.

I know men and women are different, and some say it’s rebounding, but some people stay in those new relationships for years. I understand not wanting to be alone, but I would never want to settle for a new relationship just to keep the loneliness at bay.

Maybe part of me is jealous at how quickly they can move on and be with someone new. I just don’t know to feel any other way but deeply.
