(This not a
getting-back-with-each-other 101, I am no expert in being nice.)
one men’s magazine I stumbled upon said that 62% of couples
who broke up tried reconciling at least once. True enough, in this age of social
networking and electronic stalking, you cannot just make a realistic I-don’t-want-to-see-your-face-ever-again
dramatic end to a relationship. Chances are, she is deliberately showing off
her new navel ring and he is posting now zit-free face and check-ins out of
revenge and after a few days or sometimes months, the reconciliation is
announced in their new FB cover page.
Elizabeth Taylor married (and divorced) Richard Burton twice.
Well, she was Elizabeth Taylor – intense and she did not want to mourn and never
hid her affairs. It could be wrong for you and it could be right, it could be
worth it, it could be getting in the same hell twice. But for those who have tried,
the below reasons sit on the brighter side:
1)
Closure – if you never had before, it will be
nagging at you. So either you start calling each other special nicknames again
or part again in a more friendly way - like a Hollywood couple. It will spare
you from what ifs.
2)
2nd chance – everybody deserves it. When
it comes to relationships though, only if one is hinting it and both of you are
unattached. So be careful, do not mistake one sms of curiosity or concern with wanting
to get back.
3)
Impulse. Because you just dropped the bomb out of
hormonal rage triggered by sleep deprivation, immaturity, insecurity or
anything ugly that day – and you’re too proud to take it back.
4) Prove detractors wrong. If the plug was pulled
by people other than the two of you, you were peer or family pressured and you
want to put an end to your misery.
5) Forgiving is healthy. Including forgiving
yourself.
6)
Change of heart. Time heals all wounds,
heartbreaks change you as a person.
7)
Less pretensions. You are pursued again and you can
skip the getting-to-know-you-phase, it’s dreadful, remember? It will be same
old you, same in laws, same old fights but more understanding. And same old perks
that make you happy.
8)
You already know the extent of one’s folly when
shove or her craziness when scorned.
9)
Sweet revenge. If hatred is eating you and you
want to cut him/her with your crushed ego. But it will be unhealthy and
exhausting so I don’t recommend it.
10) LOVE.
