Relationship relapse
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
My sister is having a bad week. She had been making a lot of progress since Jorge broke up with her, going out, having fun, and generally putting herself back on the market since her New Year’s Eve breakup.
But she’s had a relapse, which is understandable after only two months, and is missing him while she’s helping her best friend plan her wedding. After two months of solid self-esteem boosting, she wants him to come back.
My friend Ann told me last night that she had a boyfriend once who, after the breakup, would call every few months, telling her he wanted to meet. And the occasional call left Ann feeling like maybe this guy was still interested. It wasn’t until he finally stopped calling for good that she realized the relationship was definitely over.
Have you ever had a serious relapse after getting over an ex? Was it because you simply missed the person, because they didn’t stop calling you or because you really hadn’t moved on yet?
Have you ever had to really thump it into your own skull that a relationship is clearly over?
