A breakup, especially with someone you've been in a relationship with for a long time, rarely goes unnoticed.
However, it often happens that after some period of time the ex-partner seeks to return back.
Let's figure out why this might happen and what to expect from it.
Why do exes come back?
One of the main reasons is that the expectations that the departing partner had were not met. Those who initiate a breakup always think that they will live happily after leaving, but in fact, they often begin to feel that they were happy in the relationship.
The second reason is the desire to regain the lost comfort zone. No matter what shortcomings the relationship has, it still guarantees stability.
People also often pursue selfish goals and take advantage of the vulnerability of the person they left. For example, you can borrow money from your ex-partner or ask to stay with them.
This also includes the perception of old relationships as a backup airfield. The initiator of the breakup is often confident that he has somewhere to return to in case of failure.
If the person left to their own devices is doing quite well, then the initiator of the breakup may return out of jealousy or envy. Perhaps by this time he has already regretted his decision, while his partner has decided to move on.
