STOP Running After An Ex!
73
Okay so here is the deal, during the past week, while hub hopping I came across several articles that were based on methods and ways to run back into a broken relationship. As a matter of fact I came across so many articles that I was beginning to wonder if this particular topic was trending on Hubpages. It amazed me how so many men and women were thinking about the same topic at the same time.
Of course, it did annoy me also, considering the fact that so many people nowadays are fixated on fixing broken things. In the rest of the hub I am going to debate on “Why to NOT even attempt to run back into a broken relationship". In my hub I will focus on girlfriend/boyfriend relationships rather than the married couples.
Let The Past BE The Past
Break ups are a part of everyday life, unfortunately they happen so often that we can not keep a track of them even if we try. Has it ever occurred to you that if you broke up with someone or if someone dumped you, it is for the good?
Let me explain, rewind back your love life and remember what were the reasons you broke up in the first place? Chances are that even if you two get back together those factors that caused the breakup will still be there and rise up eventually. There is a reason you can not change the past and that reason is that seldom does any good come from changing or attempting to change the past. (You can watch all those time travel films and you will know what I am talking about)
Love Can Not Be Forced
So you still love your ex but your ex could care less? You need to grab some popcorn and watch the film “He’s just not that into you”.
If you survive watching that film without wanting to kill yourself, then I recommend seeing a psychiatrist who can better help with your obsessing with a person who has moved on in life while you choose to stay glued to your home with your front door open waiting for someone who will never return.
Hope Is For The Hopeless
Yeah, do me a favour and stop hoping that the person who dumped you, would come back running to you. Oh and clichés such as ‘make him/her jealous’ etc rarely work, considering we have all seen the same movies.
S/He Loves You Not!
There are 2 possibilities here:
1. The person did not love you, it was only a crush or temporary attraction.
2. They did but your crazy antics pushed them away and they would rather jump off a building than getting back with you.
Say NO To Emotional Blackmail
Even if your weepy antics get back the guy/girl, it just means that they feel guilty NOT that they love you. They have just returned for the time being and are waiting till the next exit sign pops up.
Stop Crying Over Spilt Milk
Stop crying over spilt milk! Go and pour yourself a new glass! Just because the holidays are around, does not mean that you should run back to your ex! Use the opportunity to start a fresh platter!

I divorced four of 'em, and got rid of four more that lasted years. Or they got rid of me, about half and half. Once it's gone, it's gone,; like Humpty-Dumpty, nothing you will do with put it back together again and its demeaning to try. Never beg man nor woman. With luck, you will stay friends with some of your ex's; the rest were never worth it for you.

I agree, it's not healthy to keep obsessing over your ex! Let it go and move on! When one door closes another opens. Unfortunately, many people will miss the new door because they're still staring at the closed one!
Great hub, I need to forward this to my ex.
WOW grate hub of cause! Keep writing and girls needs these to be told by some one, you are doing a grate job for them, and I am so glad you are sharing these thoughts with your hubbers! Thank you!!!
I love your new profile picture too!!
Thank you for writing this. I am sick and tired of hearing those "Get Back With Your Ex" schemes. I myself was hung up on an ex for about a year, and I still feel like if they came back into my life I would date them in a heartbeat, but I know better than to spend my time thinking about trying to get back with them. Instead I have moved on as best as I could, and went back to dating people, and it helped. I was less focused on how I felt when she broke up with me, and more focused on being the best boyfriend I could be in this new relationship.
Thank You for writing this wonderful hub!
Wonderful hub, and I completely agree. I've had so many friends, and watched so many good girls who end up running back to their dbag ex boyfriend. I don't even begin to understand it. It ended for a reason, so let it go. Its funny when these people end up finding someone better as well. All they can do is look back and laugh. Thanks for the insight!
Decent, logical advice....nice job.
A refreshing outlook! Great read.
Thanks(: I don't really want my ex back though it's more of getting him out of my system I think. However, I completly agree with everything you said.
easier said than done, but thanks for sharing this nonetheless :) Keep it up!
Great advice! I love your outlook!
I find such people really dumb who keep running after their ex. I mean what's the point in it? But as they say, love is blind so let it be blind. I think your hub might help them gain their senses back.
Great hub and very reasonable advice. Let the past be the past indeed and move forward.
This is so true. People just don't need to run after their Exes. It is what it is and just let things be.
I mean, of course letting go isn't easy by any means, but people are better off once they're learn it's the best deciscion in the long run to make for themselves. As difficult as it can seem to let go of the one you love, we hurt only ourselves by not letting our emotions move on.
Love the Hub

I suppose if two people want it towork that's what is needed. One isn't enough. The confusion comes when you remember nice things he said and did and all the promises he made dnd dll the lively bits, and it messes with your mind. The cold hard fact is he left. End of really.
