Before You Get Back With Your Ex — Watch THIS
- Each person should approach one of their very good friends who lived the break up from close quarters and ask them to meet the ex in private, then provide a deep evaluation of the prospects for a successful return. Does this ex now feel safe? Should the couple do this? It sounds extremely odd to bring in a third party. We imagine that couples have all the answers to their own problems. But most people who survive a break up only do so because they have, somewhere in the background, a wise, kind, sceptical friend who listened to the sobbing, counselled when to text and when to block, was always on hand and has an encyclopaedic knowledge of the entire trauma. It seems foolish not to benefit from this person's experience, an inevitable degree of scepticism. They don't want to go through another catastrophe all over again. Even better, they don't love our ex. They won't be going to bed with them.
