7 Sound Reasons Not To Get Back With Your Ex

It’s hard missing someone, because it completely throws off your judgment. Everything becomes specifically narrowed and focused on that one person. People often say that absence makes the heart grow fonder, but letting that kind of power dictate and immobilize you will only leave you feeling miserable and empty-handed. Before you even think about getting back together with your ex, here are 7 reasons why you shouldn’t.

I always say "A break up comes with a reason, never forget that reason."

[LLLadySSS]

I mean, we broke up for a reason. Why go back? You just miss the idea of being with someone. You only want what your brain already knows and is familiar with.

[SpetsnazUS]

The reason people break up is also important. An ex of mine and I had dated when we were younger, but it was a long distance relationship. Several years later we began to talk again. We've been happily married for 6 years now.

i didnt cry when i broke up with my boyfriend but the thought of starting sum new and doing it all over again is exhausting

[igotjimin]

ARE NEVER EVER EVER EVER GETTING BACK TOGETHER

I don't get why people can't enjoy being single. It's actually very freeing and you learn more about yourself. You learn to love yourself and if you focus on making yourself better, you'll be a better partner in the future for that lucky person. It's a win win!

Reason 1: She deleted all my steam games cuz i spent too much time on them.
That 1 reason is enough for me

And this came out legit the same second my ex texted me

Getting back with your ex is like reheating up McDonald’s fries in the microwave after they’ve gotten cold and trying to eat them. It just isn’t the same. 😂

All relationships have a unique dynamic, and end in unique ways. Take all advice as that: advice. Think things through, don’t be impulsive, and do what’s best in the long term as opposed to what satisfies your emotions the most now. Good luck!

Getting my heart smashed like raspberries in a sauce
Was the best thing that ever happened to me.
It was like Goku almost dying, getting up stronger than before.

[paulzuel]

I got depressed
My grades dropped
She left me
I’m broken now

[MJBABYPHAT]

I went back to my ex many times cause i was blindly in love when really he will never change.

[fatimaamuh]

Tip: Don't compare your past relationships with the one you have now. Also, never based the new one on your past relationship. If it didn't work it doesn't mean that the new one would fail too. Giving chances is important because people are different.

[masterpys]

I read somewhere that getting back with an ex is like starting something again with an unbalanced start. When you start with a new person, you're both at the same stage of emotion with them without personal baggage between you two. But with an ex, you're not sure if your ex is at the same stage with yours. Maybe while you're holding onto their shirt to go to sleep every night, they're giving their shirt away for someone else to hold onto. It's full of risks that you're getting your heart broken again.

[PersonalPower]

The struggle of an Introvert:
Getting with your Ex together is unhealthy.
Getting to know someone new know is annoying and uncomfy.




Solution: remain single and read some outstanding books.

[cnusayba]

Why am I watching this? I don't even have an ex.

[drad]

Hey guys, everyone here is probably going through a rough time right now. I just wanted to tell you, that on one day you will realise that there is no reason to be sad or depressed anymore. We are all in the same boat, we feel like shit, but this will change. Mabye tomorrow or in a month, but it's certain that it will change. I wish you guys all the best, you will get through this.♥️

"You can't force anyone to love you"

*looks at collection of visual novels*

[Janioong]

YES i actually need this video, cuz convincing myself is a bit harder than i thought it would. I always try to force myself to not only look on the good side of him, but also the bad side (and the reason why i broke up with him) but sometimes i would miss him again. Tbh, i miss the memories, not the person.
