Is Jumping into a New Relationship the Cure for a Broken Heart?
The pitfalls of using someone new to forget the past.
It can also be as difficult as some mechanical issue that one could hardly resolve. In other cases, when a couple separates, one of the partners attempts to eliminate the previous lover’s memory by having a new boyfriend or girlfriend.
They want a new partner to change that thought pattern and allow them to move forward. However, this very often means they have not fully moved on and are still very much obsessed with their ex.
Believing that a new partner will be different, some people discuss their past relationships a lot or sulk in a new relationship. This implies they are still infatuated with the previous love and are not yet able to fully concentrate on the new one.
In essence, it’s wrong to use a new person to replace an old love because you are both hurting the new person and, likely, yourself.
So, Don’t be silly! It doesn’t work! One is kindness, the other is not to use people.

Ludacris and Nelly draw backlash over bookings at MAGA-coded music festival
Ludacris and Nelly headlining a mostly right-wing event is good for them. It’s also great for the genre of hip hop. The two rap veterans have showcased their talents on other stages. Why can’t they perform for mostly MAGA folks and grab that bag?

Hey, just wanna let you know that this is more suitable to be posted in the Humans community 😊
There are cases in mental health when the ex partner has been through so much that often they reach out to someone new in order to try and erase the memories. They reach out for someone to rescue them and save them. It comes under the term trauma bonding of which there are many types. I went through this for a while. It's a horrid situation to be in. Sure in some cases, its just people wanting to see if it will be different with someone new, but there are many different reasons including trauma bonding as to why this may happen.
