Boomerang Relationships

I read this really interesting piece yesterday about boomerang r/ships aka on-off relationships, check out the article here. I know there a many who have fell short of the hmmmm maybe we can give it another try, maybe he/she will change, 3rd time lucky and all, but I’m not so sure if that’s such a good idea. I know there are cases of couples re-uniting and living happily ever after, and then there are those that don’t. It really does depend on why you split up in the 1st place. However there are a few things to bear in mind….

The article highlighted that many people go back to the familiarity as they are too busy to make a fresh start hoping things will improve if they go back. 9 out of 10 cases I would say very unlikely. We all know that we can’t change people; they have to want to change for themselves. Another point that got my back up slightly was that men are often happy to keep women hanging on but not wanting to make a lasting commitment. How selfish is that, but really? I know it’s not just men that are guilty of this trait but seriously it’s not cool to have people just hanging around until you find your self something better. Particularly if you know full well the other person has a bit of a love jones for you. Hmmmm come on men sort it out if you can’t/won’t commit just tell her straight!

Biggest issue it seems though is that us woman don’t think we are good enough to deserve anything better than a half baked relationship. WHAT THE BEEP?!?!?!? Ladies if you need to listen to Beyonce “singled ladies….put a ring on it” every day then so be it. Come on now there is someone out there for every body you should never settle for less, although we often do way too many times- sigh!!!

P.S I’m not hating on men as I know some of you brothers can relate to the above.
