What is 'moving on' really and what does it mean for your chances?


Recommended Posts

Hi all,

 

I always get a bit confused when I hear people talk about their ex moving on. Wat does this actually mean according to you? And can you only get back together if you both have not completely moved on?

 

How do I know if she has moved on?

 

Even though most odds are against me, I really want my ex back in my life and have a future with her (we grew apart because I had some commitment issues and we went LDR) but I want to know if I even have a chance to begin with...

Moving on means you are no longer emotionally attached to the other person.

 

It means the other person means nothing more to you than any other stranger on the street.

 

If the other person has fully moved on, then your "chances" (I disagree with term; this is not a game of chance) are zero.

 

How do you know if she's moved on? Well, tell us about your situation and we can help with that. Talking in generics and hypotheticals isn't really possible.

I tend to agree with this. After you've moved on why the hell on earth would you even consider trying something you've already tried?. I def think that after someone has moved on the chances are really zero.

 

Anyways We need more details to help you out here OP.

I will disagree on this post.

 

 

"can you only get back together if you both have not completely moved on?"

 

If BOTH parties still have feelings for each other, then BOTH parties might want to work on the relationship and reconcile.

Yes, a relationship could work.

 

If BOTH parties have "moved on" then after time, they can start a new relationship.

 

Both people need to "let go" and "move on". If there is a reconnection then sure, why not.

Each person overcame the past, went their own way, and all previous links are 100% severed.

Yes, a relationship could work.

 

They key is letting go. Both are now free of anything that happened in the past.

Any regret, ill feelings, resentment, contempt exists. No.

Moving on to me means you are now romantically interested or involved with someone else which makes you indifferent to your ex. I think if both parties stay single and still have feelings for each other they can get back together.

"Moved on" means acceptance of the fact that the relationship has ended, and you aren't trying to revive it. You feel ok about it having ended.

 

All grieving done. All tears shed. All the talking about the relationship done.

 

All (optional) forgiveness done.

 

Optimistic about a future without that person.

 

 

That's what "moved on" means to me.
