It can be hard and upset you so much to see your ex holding hands with someone else when all your hope is that you can win your ex back.  However, if you’re worried that this means you’re never going to get the chance to get him/her back, you’re probably worrying over a menial little relationship in which your ex most likely doesn’t care on a deep level for who he or she is with.

In all probability, your ex is just on a little REBOUND RELATIONSHIP.  Many people feel the need to jump right back into the dating arena in order to have that feeling of being needed fulfilled.  If your ex is just out for a bit of social fun, this may be a good sign for you.  It might mean he/she is ready to start putting trust in someone again. Just because he/she is in a rebound relationship does not mean that your chances are over.

Having rebound relationships might even be good for you.  Not to make your ex jealous but to get you back on your feet.  You’ll be able to test the waters, so to speak, and make sure that you’re really ready to put feelings into someone else again.  A breakup is hard and will impact your level of trust and how open you are to sharing emotions again.

Don’t take the relationship your ex might have started recently as a sign that you’re never going to get back together again. Wait it out and you’ll just likely get the chance to win your ex back.
