Why does it seem as if people from our past always pop up at the worse times? I used to think one of my exes had me under surveillance and waited until I was starting something new to return. Do you have someone who keeps coming back like a bad boomerang from hell?

The basic reason my guy friends tell me is that men come back for the possibility of hooking up. You don’t even really have to even hint at it. They just hope that you will give them a shot for nostalgia’s sake. I don’t know if it is true but it explains why some exes return and act like some booty caller.

How do you handle it when your exes pop up? Does it make you feel flattered or annoy you? If you could stop an ex from contacting you again, who would it be?
