You can still miss him and not text him.
It’s Friday night. All of your friends are busy with their partners. You’re tired of watching Netflix. So you’re on your phone scrolling through old pictures.
Damn, do you miss your ex too?
It only takes one text to bring them back into your life. One text.
But before you do it, remember these:
You miss the idea of them — not the past relationship you had with them
“You start normalizing bad things that happened in your past relationship because you focus too much on how much you miss your ex.”
Whenever I think about my ex, I ask myself this question,
“Do I truly miss him? Or just the idea of him?”
Because most of the time when you’re brutally honest with yourself, the latter will be the answer.
You most likely miss the old attachment you have and how good the relationship was — before it turned into a shitty one.
This is also the main reason why people can’t let go of their ex — even after years of calling it off.
They don’t think rationally about why the relationship doesn’t work in the first place.
But they jump right away into the good times and how to think they won’t find someone new that’s as good as their ex. When you’re lonely and in a desperate mode, it’s easier to fall back into old habits.
You start normalizing bad things that happened in your past relationship because you focus too much on how much you miss your ex.
If you think you text your ex on a whim, you might regret it days later.
Sigh.
Unfortunately, that used to be my case. So I’ve done that mistake — you don’t have to. Read More…
