Why this specific news hits so hard
It can feel like proof that the relationship, or your place in it, mattered less than you thought. That interpretation is understandable but rarely accurate — someone dating again quickly is more often about how they cope with discomfort than a measure of what the relationship meant.
What it doesn't actually change
Your reasons for doing no contact were about your own recovery before this news, and they still are after it. Someone else's timeline for moving on has no bearing on what's true for your own healing, or on whether your original reasons for the relationship ending still hold.
This is exactly the moment Rescue Mode is for.
No Contact 40 Days' Rescue Mode is built for the moments that hit hardest — including this one.

Does them dating again quickly mean they never cared?
Not reliably — quick rebounds are often more about avoiding the discomfort of being alone than a measure of how much the relationship meant.
Should this change my no-contact plan?
Generally no — your reasons for no contact were about you, and this news doesn't change what was true about the relationship before it.
