6 Reasons Why You Shouldn't Take Your Ex Back

By Anirudh Narayanan

Breakup's aren't easy, we admit. But should you really get back with your ex when they try to make their way back into your life? Getting back with your ex is like an itch; you wanna do it but you know it might get worse.

Our suggestion? Don't! You really should read the reasons on why not to get back with your ex, before you open fire at us.

It is understandable, as Valentine's day is right around the corner, you don't wanna spend the day brooding. But that doesn't really justify you in getting back with your ex. It's better to spend a day with friends and family who actually love you more than he/she ever did.

The nostalgic memories cause too much hurt but don't let it cloud your vision and lose track of what you really want. What you want right now could be what you hate in the long run. So, make sound decisions. Take your time and think if the relationship will actually work. Concentrate on what drove you apart, instead of tearing up on the happy moments.

So, before you go forward with that patch-up read our reasons why you shouldn't take your ex back.

Lack Of Respect

Lack Of Respect

Love sweeps you off your feet. Of course there are times where you wanna rip each other's head's off! But walking out of a relationship shows a general lack of respect to you and the relationship on a whole. There is no surety that he/she will respect it ever. Lack of respect should be enough reason not to take back an ex!

Once your partner left you out in the cold, we are sure you went crawling on all fours to your friends. Friends, who agonizingly stayed by you while you cursed and cried in his/her name. Imagine you telling them that he/she is willing to come back and you are considering your options. That wont really end well. There's your second reason not to get back with your ex.

Old baggage is another reason not to take back an ex. After a breakup most of the people choose to remember only the happy parts. But once they are really back you understand why you had chosen to breakup in the first place. The past catches up and all the annoying habits are back to haunt you for real.

Trust Is Lost

Trust Is Lost

All relationships are based on trust. Once it's broken, it's impossible to gain that level of trust which you had at the start. Another rational reason as to why not to get back with an ex would be the lack of trust. No amount of persuasion can bring it back.
