4 Questions to Ask Before Getting Back with Your Ex
Getting back together with an ex can seem like a good idea in a moment of weakness, but is it really?
We all have that ex. The one who got away. The one we think about and wonder what could have been if we had stayed together. Maybe they were super sweet and all around wonderful and it was just bad timing. Maybe they were a bad boy/girl and the lure of the forbidden is still there.
Whatever the attraction, we all have that one old flame that we occasionally wonder about. But sometimes, opportunity knocks and offers us the ability to have that second chance. Maybe you ran into your ex and started chatting after years of not seeing each other. Maybe you’ve been friends since the breakup and suddenly you started talking about the what if of your past. Maybe your ex called you out of the blue and declared their undying love and begged for another chance.
Before you know it, you’ve romanticized a reunion into a happily ever after that couldn’t possibly go wrong. But the fantasy in your head is probably nothing like the reality that would result from an attempt to get back together.
Before you reach out and start planning a future with an ex, you might want to ask yourself these four questions.
