    Is it too soon?
    Hi guys this is quite long (sorry). Basically about a month ago I split up with my bf of nearly 2 years because he made very little effort in seeing me, if we did meet up it would be me who arrange it etc, he would sometimes cancel plans at short notice e.g. Half an hour before meeting, to go be with his family. Him doing this lead to me being upset a lot of the time and the relationship had been like this before Christmas. (bearing in mind I'm away at uni for a lot of the time, and I would come back home when I could but he rarely came to me) I ended it, he put up no fight just saying he wished we could have worked it out.
    Anyway before I left uni I met someone through a chat room (I know stupid and all that) and we just chatted about random stuff like our day to day lives. I developed feelings and by the time I ended it with the ex I had feelings for this new guy. Only thing is me and my ex work together when I'm not at uni and it's incredibly hard to act normal around him. Is it too soon to be feeling like I could have a relationship with this new guy when I've only been single just over a month??? I don't wanna hurt my ex but I really like this other guy a lot. Any advice???

    I would try out this new relationship with the guy you met on the chatroom, you shouldn't feel guilty about your ex, as it was his fault for not trying in the relationship, you shouldn't let the past affect your future.

    Thanks for that, I guess I'm worried about being seen as not caring for moving on so quickly, but I'm a lot happier than what I was 3 months ago. My ex said if we were both single when I graduate we could give it another shot but I know deep down he would never change. I guess it's time to take the plunge after phone calls, texts and FaceTime to meet this new guy x

    No it's fine, who cares if your EX doesn't like it, he needs to move on & accept that you're moving on too.
