Cupid’s Advice:

Rehashing past fallouts with exes can be uncomfortable! Here are some benefits for keeping old drama and exes in the past:

1. You can have better relationships: Revisiting old feelings should be used as a learn lesson. Now you know what to expect from that person and you can move on to someone that you can have more compatibility with.

2. New relationships will be unpredictable: Don’t get stuck in the mindset that your new relationships will be the same as the last one. Your new relationship might have similarities to your last one, but the person you are with will give you a different experience on what it means to be in a relationship.

3. You will have sense of humor: Like Ben and Becca, you can make jokes out of the pain instead on dwelling on how you felt during the moment. Since the relationship is over, you don’t have to worry about getting hurt again by that person and now you can look back and laugh!
