Overlapping happens towards the end of a relationship that isn’t working, even though one of you might still be fighting for its survival. They felt deeply conflicted, guilty and even ashamed at the time, and sought to end their existing relationship as soon as possible. In these instances, their actions don’t reflect who they are in the main. It’s not habitual, and it’s for a short period of time, and it’s likely regretted. And a lot more people than would probably admit it has started a new relationship before ending their current one. Many people have experienced at least one emotional overlapping at some point. Let’s be real, though: some people use knowledge of a possible imminent breakup to be ‘open’ to new possibilities. Some people start something else and then have to find a ‘good moment to break bad news’. Some people know that their feelings have changed without having any physical overlap. We feel deeply attracted to someone, and we know that we cannot continue as is. It doesn’t necessarily mean that something happens, but yes, sometimes our heads get turned. It’s painful and unfortunate, but sometimes we do meet our next partner before our current relationship ends.
