Should You Go Back to Your Ex?

Exes are tricky. Love is layered. And sometimes our brain forgets everything our heart had to survive just because we’re lonely on a Wednesday night.

So before you send that “hey :)” text, let’s break it down

YES, if…

• The breakup was about timing, distance, or life stuff — not a core character issue.

• You can love them without losing yourself.

• You’re ready to build something new — not relive the past.

• You’ve both done the work. Grown. Taken responsibility. No one’s fixing the other, you’re building together now.

NO, if…

• The breakup involved betrayal, manipulation, emotional damage, no “buts.”

• You miss them because you’re lonely, not because it’s right.

• You’re still addicted to the chaos and calling it passion.

• You’re hoping they’ll finally change, spoiler: they won’t.

• You’re the only one doing the inner work.

Bottom Line:

Missing them isn’t a sign to go back. Growth is.
If you’re both new people, it could work.
If not? It’s just déjà vu with more disappointment.

A second chance only works if it’s a new story, not the same one in a different font.
