Life is confusing enough without the added
drama of dating. But when you meet that
someone legendary, the drama seems worth it.
Of course, as you know, not all relationships last.

Breaking up is hard to do, and gets even worse
when absence makes the heart grow fonder.
A relationship might seem like a bad idea when
you’re in it, but once you’re standing further away
and looking at it from the outside, there’s
a tendency to look back with rose-coloured
glasses. “Hooking up with an ex can feel like
snuggling into your favourite warm, comfy
blanket,” says relationship expert Katia Loisel.
“It’s reassuring, safe, within arms reach and can
seme like the ultimate feel-good boost”. Humans
like stuff that feels safe and familiar, so when you
feel stressed about school or your mum is on your
case you’re probably going to want to send them
a message or check out what they’re up to. After
all, you guys know each other pretty well and
have shared some spesh times together. But
before you go picking up your phone, you should
know that your body is totally messing with you.IT’S a trap!

h
ow many times have you caught yourself rolling your
eyes at that friend who breaks up with a guy, then starts
hanging out with him, like, five seconds later? Sometimes
being the relationship guru is easier said than done,
especially when you find yourself in a situation whereyou’re not taking your own advice. Case in point: when you hook up
with your ex. Maybe even more than once. Where do you go from
there and how do you break the cycle?
