Cupid’s Advice:
Ending a long term relationship can cause you to start remincising about past loves. Â Bumping into an ex after breaking up with your partner can cause you to think fate is at play. Â Be careful! Â Here’s when you should rethink those thoughts:
1. He’s happily married: This should be an obvious one, but you would be surprised. Â Even though you want to give the relationship another try, it’s probably not worth breaking up a happy home.
2. He shows no interest: If you’re doing all the work to make old memories a reality, move on.
3. You just feel lonely: Feeling lonely doesn’t mean you should try to get an ex back. Â Move on with someone new, and don’t look back. Â If it’s meant to be, it will be.
