Reasons why you keep going back to that one guy

You
wonder why you keep going back to the same guy who broke your heart, again and
again. Here are some possible reasons:

Hoping
for a different outcome

You keep convincing yourself that
he’s learnt from his mistakes. This isn’t the case and no matter how many times
you go back to him, he’ll still be the same guy who broke your heart, 10 000
times over.

‘He knows you best’

More often than not, the person
you’re most likely to go back to is the one you spent years with. And with that
said, it’s almost certain that he knows you very well, including your
weaknesses.

You want to compare

Comparing has never had any positive
outcome in relationships. Each person is unique in their own right and wanting
your current man to have a few qualities of your ex is unfair.

In need of closure

Once you start accepting breakups
for what they are, then going back and forth between ex will stop. It’s
important to know the cause of your failed relationship in order to avoid
repeating the same mistakes. This should be done immediately and not as an
excuse to go back to him months after the breakup.

He’s your back-up plan

When your current relationship crumbles, he’s
the first person you call because you never officially cut ties with him. You
keep him in your back pocket because you know he’ll never reject you. This is
an injustice to yourself because in the end he’ll go back to his life, leaving
you to pick up the pieces again.
