The cat came back

[Klytie]

I have a question I would like some guys opinions on, and being that this forum is mostly guys I figured this would be the perfect place. Girls, your invited to help to.

I have been in a relationship for the past 6 months. We recently separated for a month and got back together. I have 3 ex boyfriends that I talk to still as friends (they all broke it off with me). Well I told them that me and my boyfriend separated and all three of them asked me out. I'd like to point out that all 3 have haven't had a serious relationship since me, ranging back as far as 2 years.

Why is it that guys (and girls do it too) try and get back with ex girlfriends/boyfriends after they have been single for so long? Do we get that lonely that we have to settle for old things when we cant find anything new? I'm interested to see how many of you have gone back out with an ex girlfriend simply because there was no one else. And, I'll confess I have also tried this a couple of times.

Now why would you say that?
To address your question, I would think ego, plays a large part.

Awwww come on Klytie....besides the point that most technical forums are (still) male oriented...and we do get "out of step" with the fairer sex sometimes... you need to learn to roll with the punches, because 99% are posted in fun here, to questions like you have asked.

I am old enough to be in your grandfathers age group..so, I think I have a pretty decent handle on why the guys and gals tend to come back after a breakup many times...and, like it or not (maybe not in your case) but pickel was not far off base.

We tend to get "too close" sometimes to a friendly acquaintance relationship...males especially. We get really jealous when "our girl" has other male friends...sad but true Klytie... girls have both male and female friends..and can keep it just a friendship thing..males don't see it that way, and get possessive real fast sometimes...then you have a fight...split..cool off, and he wants back in..then it starts all over.

because to him its easier to try to jump back in with you then have to start over fooling another girl from scratch.

Depending on your experiences dating and creating new relaitonships is difficult. Guys would rather not expose themselves to the rejection that trying to create new relationships frequently generates.

Face it, guys like it easy too! It's a blow to the male ego to be told no.
