Have you ever been in a situation where you had a breakup and you were encouraged to wait for your Ex?

I guess folks think that if the guy was good enough and waiting for him to “come around” is not so bad, right?
Uh… wrong. Yeah. Terribly wrong.
So you mean to tell me... that while this guy is jacking up your heart and love-life, all so that he can have "space", or time to collect himself, you're supposed to be stuck in this limbo stage?
Please tell me you see something wrong with this picture.
If you don't, then please allow this video to explain to you why you shouldn't wait for your Ex. (and psst... I'll give you a hint. It has to do with your most recent title!)
After a recent breakup, and deciding to stay "friends", I asked my ex if we would ever get back together. He said that it was bad timing but it's possible to get together again in the future.
Should you wait for him to come around??
Just from personal experience, I'll share a bit with you.
I was in a relationship and things were going south. But of course, I was struggling to fight to keep it going (even though all the red flags were telling me otherwise). Out of no further ideas to keep us together, my Ex decided that we needed to have some space from each other. You know, to "think things through".
First of all,
I should've known right then what that was supposed to mean.
While he was offering this peaceful separation, I was desperate to make our relationship work. By any means necessary.
If space was what he wanted to realize that I was the one for him and that we are meant to be together forever, then so be it.
I wanna stop you right here and have you reread that last statement. Because that was literally what I was thinking at the time. I seriously thought that him breaking up with me would result in us getting back together.
I could not have been more wrong.
Always remember that THERE IS A REASON WHY YOU BROKE UP IN THE FIRST PLACE!
