Cheating is wrong, whether it’s with a friend, an ex, or a random person. It conveys that you lack commitment to your partner and the ability to resist temptations. Cheaters prioritize their cravings and needs over their partner even though they know they will eventually have to pay the price for refusing to do the
Breakups can make it extremely challenging for dumpees to keep their emotions under control and hidden from their ex. They often trigger dumpees’ fears and insecurities and make them want recognition so badly that they beg and plead and stick to their ex for dear life. By sticking to the person they love, they attempt
If your exes keep coming back every time they leave, you must be doing something right.

They understand that begging is self-degrading and that couples should work on issues while they’re together. When they
If your ex is lying to you or others about why you broke up, it’s clear your ex has a negative opinion about you and wants to justify his or her decisions and actions. By making you look like a bad person, your ex expects people to take his or her side and continue to
If you keep going back to an ex you perceive as toxic, there’s a perfectly good explanation for it. Your connection or attachment with your ex is so strong that you can’t permanently separate yourself from your ex and leave your ex behind. Rationally, you may want to break up for good, but because you
Dumpers often come back after you move on and forget about them. It’s as if they can feel that you stopped caring and obsessing about them—and no longer want them in your life. The reason they come back, however, doesn’t have anything to do with how you feel. It’s got everything to do with what
