Breaking up with your lover is an extremely painful experience, but there are situations that can make it seem much worse. Occasionally, after separating you might find out your best friend is in a rebound relationship with your ex. You feel confused, hurt and disappointed with your friend. Obviously when you are no longer a couple, you cannot expect your ex not to see other people, but your best friend with your ex? How can you deal with this?
Here are a few things you can do if you find yourself in this situation:
Confide In Someone
Because this is still upsetting to you and it being so soon after your break up, find someone you can confide and share how you are feeling. The last thing you want or need to do right now is to bottle it or deny what is happening. It will only make things worse for you and you run the risk of the distress and stress of this situation causing you physical symptoms as well as emotional distress. If you have someone you can trust, talking and crying about it will help you enormously and give you clarity to work through it.
Release Your Feelings
While you think that you should be able to deal with this new turn of events in a calm and adult manner, you will still feel a bubbling up of emotions, some of which will be anger and hurt. Even though it is all over between you, there is a time frame apart before either of you starts seeing someone else that seems appropriate and for your ex to jump right in with your best friend... it just does not seem right! So blow out the cobwebs and go to the gym and release some of those hurt angry feelings. Get them out of your system by releasing them and expressing them in a safe and healthy way.
Rethink Your Friendship
You may be tempted to rethink your friendship with your best friend, but don't be in a hurry to write them off too quickly. Did you stipulate to your friend that you did not want them to go out with your ex? How would your friend be feeling right now? Is it worth losing what was an otherwise good relationship over someone you are not going out with and that they may not be either in a few months time? Take your time before you make a decision about your friendship with them and just wait and see what happens.
Apart from the breaking up with your ex breaking your heart, the last thing you need is to find out is that your best friend is in a rebound relationship with your ex. Even though it is not the ideal situation, you can deal with it as you apply some of the remedies above.
It is natural to feel upset and angry about it and the best thing to do is to get it out, talk about it with someone you can trust and release the pent-up feelings in a safe and constructive way. This will help you make the right decision about your friend with a clear head.
