We all have that one ex that we keep going back to. People always say, "Why do you keep going back? It's just going to end the same way." No matter what anyone says, you jump right back into things with him..and here's why:
Everything about the relationship is comfortable. You have already formed relationships with each other's families, you know every way to get to their house and which one gets you there fastest, and everything there is to know about one another. The scariest thing about moving on, is learning everything about the new guy and losing everything you knew about your ex.
You compare every single guy to him. Comparing their taste in movies, favorite places to eat, and everything they say differently. You were so used to him and you're not letting the new guy in. You keep shutting him out and letting yourself wait on your ex.
Ex boyfriends are like teddy bears. You are used to their comfort and the way they make you feel. But there comes a point in time where you realize that it's time to let go.
Just think about it. He made you happy, but were you happy when you sat in bed wondering if he was lying? Were you happy when he ignored you all day? Were you happy when you were on the floor crying because he broke your heart?
Old comfort is tempting, but it probably wasn't as comfortable as you thought it was to begin with. There comes a time when you have to let go. Just remember that you will never truly be happy if you keep mistaking "comfort" as happiness.
