<human>: Can you summarize the given text in a few sentences?

The break up was (mostly) mutual. We were both aware we had issues and that something needed to be done (the relationship seriously lacked intimacy and companionship). Difference is I thought we could work on it and she obviously didn't. 

Now there's this girl who I started talking to just before the breakup (Saturday), and it was completely platonic. It was just helping a lot to talk about things with someone while my ex figured things out on her end. Now it's a few days later and we're making out on her couch? Does that make me a scumbag? If you were to ask me why I did it, I'd say it feels like an escape. Nearly everything reminds me of my ex, and when I'm doing this I think about her a lot less.

Torn up.
<bot>: Gf broke up with me after five years, now I'm making out with another girl days after. Am I a scumbag?
