Loves Me... Loves Me Not: The Dilemma of Off/On Again Relationships

Break up…. to make up...that's all we do... then you love me, now you hate me it's a game for fools. *Ahem* I am sorry just going along with the words of this song since it covers the awfully great deal of a on again off again relationships. For the ones in the most stabilized
 partnerships will often wondered, how can anyone sees themselves on the emotional rollercoaster ride with the object of their affection? For those that don't know it is hard to figure out. For the ones that went through the constant love me then leave me type knows what I am talking about.

You met the person you thought you can enjoy your life with forever. It has been several months since your first date and the two of you had been enjoying all the things couples will normally do. Most importantly in your eyes the person is funny, smart, and actually cute. Everything seem so perfect! Then out of the blue, mentions he or she is leaving you. Now your world crumbles into pieces, wondering how one can live on day by day without that wonderful person in your life.

But...wait a second… after gloomy days, love songs that reminded you of your love and all those kleenex all over your floor-surprisingly they call you and tell you how sorry they are. 

Thoughts of you heavily on their mind and regretting ever to break up with someone as lovely as yourself are tearing them apart. You consider for a minute to give them a another chance at love , remembering all the good times you two had together, not looking at the whole picture of whether or not he will be taking you on a ride again and risking a chance of getting hurt.
But of course you opt to forgive him, his flowers and his apology card that he perfectly handwritten just for you. You tell yourself no it won't happen again. Everything is going to be all right this time. And it sure is. Now continuing once again being happy together, saying the I-love-yous, calling or emailing each other every night before bedtime. Now you are saying to yourself, I just about knew he would've missed me!

Yup. I was in one of thoe relationships for 4.5 years. It's up to you "the heart-broken one" to leave. They don't have the maturity to leave YOU cause they take, take, and take. Wonderful words. I'll never do this to myself again.

Damn good thinking. On the level of truth-telling of Dan Savage, but with tact he lacks, making it very useful. I had the same inklings about getting back together with a breakup artist, but you put the words to my thoughts. Thanks!
