Your Ex Wants You Back. Ask Yourself These 6 Questions First.

We all have an ex. Sigh. If we really want to tell the whole truth and nothing but, we also all have an ex that we can’t help but to wonder “what if?” about. You know the one we’re talking about. The guy who's beyond fine. The guy we secretly doodled his name on pieces of paper at work about. The guy who we wondered what our kids with him would look like. That guy.

Come to think of it, what happened with that guy?

That’s what you find yourself asking when he slips into your DMs one night or leaves you a message on your voicemail to say that he misses you and is hoping that the two of you catch up. 

If you know your ex well enough to know that it’s not a glorified booty call that he’s after, that he really does want another shot of love---or something like it---with you, before you get back in touch, do yourself a favor. Ask yourself the following six questions. Write the answers down and give it all some serious thought.

If the break-up wasn’t too brutal and can basically be chalked up to bad timing, cool.

But if you’re about to head into a bad rerun of a Lifetime movie, spare him and you the drama. Please.

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. ;)
