How to resist the temptation to reconnect with your ex in self-isolation:
and for my own career and wellbeing, it is more tempting than ever to contact the person who has given me some of the happiest moments of my life, just for a bit of light relief.I’m not alone in constructing this logic, and others have followed through with it. One of my best friends received a text last week from an ex he dated two summers ago: “Hey mister, hope all is well in this mad world… thought I would say hi”.
Christina, 26, moved from Brighton to Leeds in February, breaking up with her boyfriend in the process. Now, it feels even more difficult to stay distant from someone she used to be so close to. “I haven’t been able to meet people because of Covid-19, so I feel quite lonely and out of my depth right now,” she says. “Because of this, I feel this yearning to speak to my ex and feel that warm happiness he brought me.
“We need to remember that at the present moment, our perspective has changed due to the current situation, but this will be over one day,” Charlotte says. “If you open up the relationship again, would you want to keep in touch with that person when you return to some semblance of normality again? If not, you need to think about that before contacting your ex, [because] it could cause both of you unnecessary upset.
But we must resist, because, get this. Eventually, this will pass. Life will continue as some reflection of how it used to be, at some point.
