napy666 Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 I like many of you have seen TV shows, movies, music videos, etc. Where there's a couple guy and girl who have been together for either months or years and do the on and off thing or they break up then get back together. So my question is why don't my ex boyfriend's come back to me or why haven't I had any on and off ordeals with my ex boyfriend's? There are a few ex boyfriend's I've thought of that I thought would be like that but nope once we broke it off they were gone for good.
lissa90 Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 Soo...I don't get it? You want an ex to walk in an out of your life so you can experience that hurt,pain, frustration? Maybe your ex's were nice enough not to lead you on and screw with your heart whilst trying to get an ego boost. You should be happy! Means your ex's have always let you move on with out confusing you.

Those kind of relationships tend to be tumultuous at best. I've only ever hooked back up with one ex and that was 17 years after we had originally dated. It ended about as well the second time as it did the first time.
Author napy666 Posted July 17, 2013 Author Posted July 17, 2013 Oh I see what you mean and I have seen this happen with friends too.

Why would you want to subject yourself to an "ordeal" that kept you in indefinite emotional turmoil?
ChatroomHero Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 Why would you want to subject yourself to an "ordeal" that kept you in indefinite emotional turmoil? Because it is a popular arrangement known as FWB, and with an actual ex it makes you think you are "good enough" or "too good" for them rather than being insignificant to them.
Leegh Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 I think on tv, the shows (especially soap operas) need an on-going storyline, of the characters breaking up and getting back together. Mostly those events are written by writers for tv. I think on one soap opera, a couple were married and divorced four times, and then there was Erica Kane who had been married I don't know how many times! I think in real life, the brain chemicals for a particular person wear off, and we just don't have those romantic feelings anymore for that particular person. It can happen though, as I think Robert Wagner and Natalie Wood were married to each other twice, but that is unusual.
