When we decide to get back with our ex, it's often after dating others and realizing how much better our ex truly was. We return, telling them, "I will never love anyone the way I loved you," even if we've loved others. We whisper sweet lies, making them feel like they were the perfect person all along, pretending they were the one we always wanted. But the truth is, we don't date or stay with someone unless there's at least a sliver of feeling.
For most of us, we date others because of that small feeling, wanting to understand if it's real, if it's love, or if it's just infatuation. We want to see how far the feeling can go, how deep it can grow. Some of us date hoping to eventually reach the point of love, eager to know how far we can push those emotions and what we're willing to give.
When we seek to reconnect with our former lovers, we often claim innocence, saying we loved them so deeply that we only wanted to fill the emptiness they left behind.
But if you truly love someone, you fight for them. You fight to be with them, not to leave them behind. Lovers are fighters, and love is worth the battle.
