Cupid’s Advice:

On-again, off-again relationships can put you on edge.  You never know when it’s over, and you may assume the two of you will just get back together later.  How do you know when it’s time to move on for good, or to give it another chance?  Cupid’s got some tips:

1. Over is over: You don’t necessarily have to do anything.  If your ex is crawling back to you claiming they’ve changed, don’t take them back because you feel bad.  If it’s really over, then accept it.

2. No pressure: If you need to think it over, don’t let them manipulate your decision.  If you need time or space, your ex will respect your decision, and back off until you’ve come to a conclusion.

3. Trust: If trust between you and your partner has been broken then you need to really think about whether or not that trust can be rebuilt.  Think about how angry or upset you were when it ended versus how happy you can see yourself with your current ex in the future.  Which thought is stronger?
