Why You Shouldn’t Go Back To Your Ex

I think most people have gone through break ups and it was devastating. I know the feeling because I’ve been there and I never wanted to go back there. But there are times when I miss the person who broke my heart, I miss the moments where we are just happy, I guess this is what most people say that you miss the memories of being with someone. I’ve known a lot of people who experienced this moment where they reminisce about the past and just text their exes back. I don’t blame them though, they must have missed the lovely feeling before the break up happened. This is why I have collected some things why you shouldn’t go back to your exes.

You already know the reason why you broke up.

            If you ever decide to go back to your ex, think about why you broke up in the first place because that will play a big role when you give your love a second chance. If you don’t solve the reason why you broke up, then your romance will still be the same the first time you did it and it will end exactly the same because you both haven’t really talked about the core issues that ruined your love for each other. No matter how much you do things differently the second time around, the outcome will still be the same if the foundation is flawed right from the start.

You should never go back to the past.

            This goes against the natural flow of time. We should move forward and think about our future instead of going back to the past. The past is already done and in life, we won’t normally get another chance to try things again. You should think that some things happen for a reason and you got to accept whatever the reason is for your own good. Think about why your relationship ended in the first place and carefully think if it’s worth giving another try. This will be a big decision and you need to contemplate about the possible risks and consequences.

The trust between you two is already shattered.

            There’s no point in going back to something that is already broken. You can try to fix it but in the process of fixing it, you will definitely get hurt. Are you really sure you are ready to get hurt again after the devastating break up? Are you willing to take such risk to mend things with your ex? Think about these questions carefully. Trust is something you both build for a long time and it takes time to get it back. You already broke up once which means that there’s already a rift in your relationship so this will make things a little bit difficult to get it back to the way things are.

Sometimes, we really miss the people that we had in the past but I think that what happened has a reason so we should look forward and never look back. The moments we had with those people will forever remain a memory but that’s only it and nothing else more.
