Getting Back With Your Ex - Is it a Good Thing to Do?
Breaking up with an ex is never an easy thing to do.
There are varying levels of hurt that come along with the territory of the break up.
Besides hurt, confusion is the next biggest hurdle.
At what point can we be fully confident that we did the right thing? It's tricky, and this is the stuff that dwells on you for a very long time.
Let's be honest, some relationships need to come to an end, and the sooner the better.
These are the people that seemed to fight like mortal enemies right from the get go.
It certainly isn't surprising when these folks call it quits.
In fact, it much more surprising when they continue to brutalize each other and stay together.
I have been one of these types of relationships in my life.
There was no second-guessing myself after this break up - thank God it's over! Then there are relationships that always seemed to juggle from good times, to the OK times, to the not-so-good times.
These relationships can last forever.
I see it happen all the time.
Is everyone happy forever? They can be.
Breaking up in these types of relationships isn't fun and it certainly can be devastating.
Most of my relationships throughout my life fell into this category.
Breaking up certainly wasn't fun, but I certainly got over it.
Do I think I did the right thing with these break ups? Absolutely.
And I'm proud to say that I remain friends with most of these gals.
But every once in a while we find ourselves in a relationship that seems so good that you think there was a higher power responsible for it.
Life is good in these types of relationships.
You both love the way you feel around each other and tend to day dream about each other when you're apart.
I know, many relationships start this way, but fade after you get to know them.
I'm talking about the relationships where the feelings get stronger the more you get to know the other person.
These relationships can be the ingredients of true love.
Very sadly, sometimes these relationships come to an end as well.
And sometimes the reasons for the end aren't so clear.
I had one of these relationships in my life...
and I have to say there was a time when we had broken up, and it was devastating.
