The relationship is over, supposedly, but then he wants to get back together, even if it’s just for a temporary connection. Why?
A couple was having a relationship. Until it stopped. Normal. One of the elements thought it was no longer possible, that’s it.
But then an issue arises, in the vast majority of cases led by men: come back. And then they go. And then they come back.
Many men try – and sometimes succeed – get back into a relationship with his ex-girlfriend; or at least try some kind of contact.
Why does this happen? Relationship expert Charles J. Orlando responds in an article on .
The first main reason is the physical part. The man misses the contact. If you are alone, you need the physical part, in general; but you may already have a new girlfriend but you miss contact with that particular ex-girlfriend. Intimacy is fundamental for men. And if sex left you fully satisfied in your previous relationship… They try. Many women accept a return – but only temporary, it stays physical and it’s only once (in principle).
The second reason: the man wants start over. You know you made a mistake (when you make it) and try to correct it, go back. Believe that you learned and that it will be different. The dynamics of the relationship don’t usually change much, even on the second try. And it’s likely to fail again later.
Finally: the man is alone e desperate. It ends up being somewhat related to the first point. He starts by sending a message, or an apparent casual meeting, and tests her reaction; the idea is really to come back because you like it – and because there is no one else.

Probably, other readers simply comment: “It’s men being men”.
