Feeling guilty.

Hey Guys,
I'll just get right to the story. My girlfriend and I decided to break up (6 weeks ago) after six years, it was mutual because of all the arguing. We are on good terms still and talk once or twice a week. Anyways I had a little bit too much to drink last night and ended up sleeping with a girl that I go to school with. I feel like it was a mistake and now I feel guilty about it, like I cheated or something. I feel like I just ruined any opportunity of possibly getting back together with my ex in the future. I just feel really down and don't know what I should do. I know that we are no longer together and maybe I shouldn't care but I can't help but feel like a bad guy. Any advice?

Well you have done nothing wrong, but it would seem that you still care/love the girlfriend.

Man i passed on sex so many times after 3 long term breakups. I STILL kick myself for it. Why? Because they didnt pass. Let me tell you tere is no greater pain than being faithful and hoping they are too just to find out that they werent. Now i know that technically they didnt do anything wrong but they always came back and they always had a rebound or two.

That's normal you still have feelings for the girl. All guys have a certain amount of time that it takes for them to be ready to see other girls after a breakup, some guys are ready instantly and some take a while. Also, it shouldn't affect you guys later on, you didn't do anything wrong here you're single

Thanks everyone. This helps. I guess i'm just not used to being alone yet. I'll try to stop worrying about it. I appreciate the comments.

It was alittle different in my case, I got pretty lucky with a number of rebounds shortly after breaking up after 5 years, and it felt great... Although I was broken up with and felt like the victim so I never felt guilty for doing it... However after the novelty wore off a few months had passed it hit me, I missed her, became really down and always thought about her, made it even worse that she went overseas. Didnt see her for 5 months, we are seeing eachother again but it has taken ALOT of work from both sides
