A three-month-rule

I heard about this from a friend who also explained to me that he saw it on a local movie. Well, as for me, I haven't had any girlfriends yet aside from the one I have now, so I can't say anything yet, but in my case, since we are already in a nine-year relationship, if this ends (I pray to God, please no), I think I won't be in another relationship for a very long time. Not is a serious one at least.

Hmm, the three-month rule... I thought it was an agreed time period for the couple to move on. I mean, neither one should signify his or her intention of getting back into the relationship. Like giving each other space to move on and date other people or something. Well, that's how my friend explained it to me. I got dupes, didn't I? :(

It depends on the people involved in the relationship--there is no hard and fast rule. My ex stopped calling me suddenly, seven years after he first asked me out. I WAS married to someone else at the time, and as I found out later, so was he but I didn't know that at the time. But I fell hard for the guy...and for years, I defended him as well as our relationship. But in September he had made a simple comment that made up my mind for me--I was ready to break it off and walk away. He must have sensed it because he stopped calling first. That was in early October last year. I sat for a while and regrouped, both mentally AND emotionally. I made some decisions--I knew I couldn't continue to date the same men and after speaking to a good friend, she had suggested I try online dating. I didn't actually consent to a date until nearly a month after I had joined and began chatting. The fourth guy I met is still with me today, but we had spent a LOT of time talking online or on the phone before we actually met. So that was approximately six weeks BUT I was emotionally done with the last guy for some time (over a year).

This is the first time that I heard about this rule. I didn't know there was such a rule Anyways, I think its a good enough rule to be implemented between a couple that has just broken up, this is to give time to both parties to move on so that when one starts dating, then it wouldn't hurt that much to the other.

I don't believe in any rules. When you want to begin a new relationship, then do it.

I believe, love comes when you least expect it. So even though one just broke up w/ his/her gf/bf, i dont believe that there's any rule that's needed to be applied. AFter all you are no longer in a relationship w/ one another

I think it depends on the circumstances who finished with who and why but 3 months is a good guideline
