3. They rebounded, it fizzled out and now they miss you.
If your relationship went on for any significant period of time, it can be really easy to start fantasizing about how awesome dating is going to be once it’s over. The grass looks greener, so your ex skates out into the wild world of dating to find … someone who ALSO has quirks, hang-ups and is generally human — just like you were.
This is particularly common with exes who feel stifled in the relationship, and as though they were missing out on something else by being with you. After their first failed romance after yours, they realize that the vision they had of what it might be like to date someone else isn’t all it was cracked up to be. So they come back, tail between their legs, ready to renegotiate their bond with you.
