Every lunch, I think about what would need to change before we try again.
Even after they reached out about getting back together, I still sit alone at lunch and go over what happened back then.
Scenes
- I put off answering at lunch — They reached out about getting back together. When I sit alone at lunch, what hurt when we broke up comes to mind before I can reply.
- What happened then comes to mind first — I want to see them again, and I don't want to go through what hurt when we broke up. Both feelings come up at once.
- Look at what needs to change, not just what they say — Wanting to see each other again isn't enough to make things work. Look at whether what hurt when you broke up can change.
- Write down just one thing today — Tonight, write down one thing that hurt before and would need to change if you got back together. Once it's on paper, you may see what you want to ask.
- Think about your answer alongside what needs to change — If you feel the same way at lunch tomorrow, consider what you'd want to ask about what could change. You can use that question as a starting point for your answer.
