Understanding why he reaches out months after the breakup

Author

I don't get why guys come back 4 to 6 months later sometimes..
Why that much time after ?
Do they pretend at the moment that they don't care and then it just hit them one day

After the breakup, men tend to feel freedom, then they use distractions to stop them from feeling. They'll go out more, spend time with friends. Its only until a couple of months after, do they really feel the emptiness and the emotions finally catch up to them

from what i’ve seen, some guys don’t really feel it right away. i had to stop trying to understand the timing and just focus on not reopening the door when they circle back.

do you feel like part of you is still waiting for him to come back or is it more about trying to make sense of it all?

This is not real for everyone some people dont regret, regret at the beginning, regret after. For those who regret after its often because the reality of be alone show up and liberty is more borring that they think, they can understand what they lose. But it is not your problem. you need to heal and beleave he will not Come-back. This is the way to heal and when you disconnect you became more attractive. I dont know if he will come back but you desearve someone who stay and repare. You can find that one person.

They usually only come back because it didn't work out with someone else. I would advise you to just leave them where they are if they come back, otherwise they'll only hurt you again.

yes! they do it because usually men don’t deal with the emotions when it happens, they start to deal w them when they realise what the lost or how they acted was wrong, and that is usually when you are already over them

my ex came back months later acting like nothing happened after i had already cried it all out alone, it felt so unfair.
