Why You Can't Seem to Get Over Your Ex (But Should)

He was the love of your life. You’re not exaggerating either. When you first got with your now ex, the furthest thing from your mind was what you would do if the two of you ever broke up. And now, here you are. Right where you never thought you’d be. Loving a man you’re no longer with, wishing that somehow you could make it work.

If you were honest with yourself, that’s why you keep messing around with him (both emotionally and physically). You know he did wrong. You know he’s not ready for the kind of commitment you want. You know that he’s probably going to hurt you again. But you just can’t seem to shake this dude.

Oh, but you should. You really, really should. So, why can’t you? 

We know what it’s like to be hung up on the past. Hopefully some of our own bumps, bruises and expertise will give you enough reason to finally make the decision to move on. So that you can get on to the man who’s really worth your time, effort, energy and heart.

About Shellie Reneé

Just a woman who digs all things relationships. HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS, that is. I've been writing (professionally) for close to 20 years, including having two books published. I'm also a marriage life coach and doula. Sometimes I speak to large audiences or do radio interviews, but usually I'm sitting in my favorite chair, surfin' the 'net and penning stuff that I wish I had read in my early 20s.

Listen, I don't have all the answers, not by a LOOOOONG shot. But whatever I can do to spare folks any heartbreak, bitterness or straight-up drama, I'll devote some keystrokes to doing. 

That's it...in a nutshell. For the most part. Kinda. ;)
