Even though they have so many qualities I hate and have done things behind my back, I don’t know why I keep running back.
I know it’s my own insecurities speaking and that I’ve put him on a pedestal but how do I ruin his image in my brain?

i had my ex on such a pedestal that i forgot how often i cried because of her. what finally broke the spell was being honest about the parts i kept making excuses for, not just replaying the good memories.
i started asking myself one question every time i wanted to go back, "would i actually be happy if nothing about them changed?" the answer was almost always no, and that helped me stop chasing the version of him i made up in my head.
what's one thing he's done that you KNOW you'd tell your best friend never to accept, but you keep excusing because it's him?
cheating 😭 and micro cheating
Stop looking back with rose tinted glasses and focus on the bad stuff too. I am also stuck obsessing over somebody's potential despite him repeatedly showing me his true colours and that the guy I fell for no longer exists. Think about every time he's made you cry and why and believe that instead.
you can’t. you can only detox. you don’t run back because they’re a good person, you run back because your addicted. you have to treat this the same way someone gets over drugs. ❤️
