This story spoke to me because I, myself, was going through this. From Black and Married with Kids,
She/He is your EX for a reason! I’m not a bible-thumper but for these reasons this passage of scripture is so apropos,
As a dog returneth to his vomit, so a fool returneth to his folly
- The act of the dog eating its own vomit is potentially poisonous
- Foolish acts/behaviors are often out of fear not intentional folly
And if they left you, you’ve got to question why you’d allow them back. “I love him/her” is NOT a sufficient answer. People go back to what they knew, even when it wasn’t good because they don’t know how to be alone and fear it. Time alone is purposeful. If you’re allowing them back then you’ve likely not used the time alone properly.
