Revolving Door ...

Sep 26, 2013 23:42

When I was younger, I made the difficult decision to break up with someone. Even though I knew it was the right decision at the time, I began questioning myself afterwards. So, we got back together and then we broke up again and then we got back together again and then …

It was unfair to her. I should’ve stood by my decision and my initial reasons, but I didn’t and it made our situation worse. People say that splitting up doesn't always mean a relationship is dead in the water. Sometimes people just don't appreciate what they've got until it's gone. So maybe breaking up can sometimes strengthen the bond between two people.

Breaking up and getting back together is almost like a revolving door in the dating scene today. However, some couples do get back together after a break up and go on to have tremendous relationships. So consider the following ...

If you broke up with someone yesterday, today is probably not the day to decide whether or not to re-enter the relationship. You are still in a dazed condition at this point and need more time to think it through. If you aren’t able to look at your situation objectively, it’s better to wait. Our hearts can, and often do, deceive us!

Did your ex have a flaw which you simply could not overlook? Were you constantly fighting over the same problems? Did one or both of you approach your relationship selfishly? Have those problems been resolved? Can those problems be resolved?

Don’t get back in the relationship as long as you feel desperate to be in the relationship. Desperation kills. We don’t make our wisest decisions when we’re in a state of panic and distress.

Sometimes people just don't appreciate what they've got until it's gone. Sometimes we just need to learn to let go. Too often we're too stubborn to say sorry I was wrong. Too often it seems we hurt the ones closest to our hearts, and we let the most foolish things tear us apart.
