Falling out of love with your current partner and then suddenly finding those lost feelings for an ex isn’t just common—it’s a reality check, a wake-up call to the truth about human nature and desire. Listen, the human heart isn’t a static entity, programmed to stay loyal to one signal until the end of time. It’s dynamic, it’s chaotic, and above all, it’s hungry for what it perceives as missing.
Why does this happen? Simple. Contrast and comparison. When you’re with someone, over time, you start seeing their flaws, the mundane routine sets in, and the excitement fades. It’s like driving the same car every day. Sure, it gets you from point A to point B, but eventually, you start eyeing that sports car you used to drive—your ex. Your mind romanticizes the past, forgetting why it ended in the first place, only remembering the adrenaline rush, the passion, the excitement.
Going back to an ex after falling out of love with your current partner is like rewatching your favorite movie. You know every line, every scene, and how it ends, but you’re hoping to recapture that initial thrill you felt the first time around. It’s a mix of comfort in familiarity and the excitement of reigniting what was once lost.
But here’s the catch—the same problems that caused the breakup will likely resurface. People go back because they’re seeking comfort in the known rather than facing the unknown. It’s easier to retreat to a past love than to confront the reality of a present relationship that’s lost its spark.
Is it common? Absolutely. Is it wise? That’s debatable. Going back to an ex can sometimes be just a stopgap, a temporary fix to a deeper issue. The key to breaking this cycle isn’t in the past, it’s in the future—building yourself, focusing on your growth, understanding what you truly want and need, and not settling for comfort over happiness.
Remember, love isn’t just about finding someone you can live with. It’s about finding someone you can’t live without. And sometimes, the search for that person requires leaving the comfort of past loves behind, challenging as that may be. You grow, you learn, and most importantly, you keep moving forward, not backward.
Slay Motivation out. Time to level up.
