Why Do I Want My Ex Girlfriend Back?

By Dan S.C. Reynolds

Many people struggle to get over their lost relationships and there are things that make them want it back. It's really a natural wish. Your mind is telling you to move on, your friends are telling you that, even your girlfriend is hoping you moved on. Still there are things preventing you from it.

When you are asking yourself questions, consider what has just happened. You were in a love relationship, possibly a strong love. It may have lasted a long time or even only a short time but in any case, you had a lot hopes put in it. It's hard to just drop things and ideas that have been really important to you.

People don't enter into relationships for nothing. They go into them expecting for something big that will last. They have dreams of the way things should be, and ideas of the way things could be.

But for some reason it just doesn't happen. The bubble bursts on your idea and then you are left hanging on. It used to make such a good and almost perfect sense at the time and now it's gone. You have to adjust to the idea that what you saw isn't there anymore. If it was there in first place...

Was there love or just the idea of being in love? Things can get so confusing sometimes. Was there love ever? It's likely that it was at some point. The only problem was that it was not permanent. You two became very important parts in each other's lives. You got used to having each other in your lives and you have attached to each other, and when she's gone your mind may have trouble accepting it.

There are those who have lost limbs who still feel a phantom itch in the appendage that is now gone. There are still brain cells that are telling you that what isn't there itches and there isn't a thing you can do about it unless you retrain your brain.

The same thing happens for those who were intimately attached to someone, whether it was romantic or platonic in nature. If those people are removed for some reason, those parts of your brain that had grown accustomed will have to adjust. And while your brain is adjusting to the change, you are left thinking about them almost against your will.

If you are frustrated because you keep asking yourself questions, don't get too depressed over it. It may help you to get some advice on how to get over a relationship from someone who has been there or who understands and has helped others. It is only natural that you will have trouble with it and want her back. - 15437
