Dating : Spot on article.

Spot on article. I remember as a teenager being horrified to hear my friend Tricia making a statement I found pitiful and sad “But he always comes back to me”. My response, immediate, horrified and exactly what I still believe “But why the hell would you want him?!” I just never understood why anyone wants a cunning, lying sneak who had disrespected them anywhere near them. Or why anyone would think it’s any sort of compliment when sloppy seconds come slithering back.

Only someone very naive could believe you would continue to seek connection with someone with whom you’ve been physically intimate and not still think about and seek that sexual connection. Which is fine if you have both agreed to sleep around, but not otherwise.

The others who would disagree with the concept are the ones who want to keep their exes on the back burner, just in case, or want the titillation and thrill of walking the line, which is deeply disprespectful to their current partner.

The only way keeping exes in the picture works is if neither of you care very much about the other person, or if you have both agreed to sleep around. Anything else is a fairy tale people tell to comfort themselves. Good article.
