Relationships
You Don’t Want Them Back
Why you should not give second chances: by a mental health professional.

Firstly, Who Do You Want to Be to Them?
The answer is the first choice / #1.
You are #1 to someone. You just have to find them. I’m #1 to my wife, who always tells me. It would be best if you were #1 to yours, too.
If you’re #2 today, you can be tomorrow, as well. It is less likely they will be satisfied in a relationship with you. Do you really want that?
My wife and I talked about this while we were dating, in what I call our self-led premarriage counseling session. I explained that I have searched for someone whom I can connect with on such a level, that they actually fall in love with me. And not the idea of relationship, just to, soon after finding someone they look better with, in their pursuit of enjoying the thought of relationships.
Value
My chasing after someone who doesn’t love me is a waste of my time. I have to see myself as having more value than that. Me chasing someone that doesn’t love me (and probably never will) — does that make them right in a way, as me not being attractive to them?
Pursuing someone is natural, but chasing someone who doesn't love me will only leave me alone or cheated in the future.
It is worth the wait, to wait for the right person to come along to connect with.
Attempts
Most of us will not date the right one at first. It takes some time to get to learn about someone and to learn about ourselves. When we realize they are the one for us, it is so very important to let them know at the right time (which isn’t dragging it long). When we are nervous or scared to talk with them about it, that is another issue we need to work through. Communication is the key to relationships.
Communication should be free-flowing. If they leave you, because of communication, do you really want them back?
Change
Men don’t change; they change their business strategy. Women, never ever fall for a man’s lie.
An adaptable and adjustable man is hard to find, but don’t settle. Be the women they will change for. It is through men’s development they find how to love.
Conclusion
Someone who has hurt you, statistically, will do it again.
There are only a few exceptions to not taking them back, but 99% of people should get a therapist to help them move on. Even if you have known them for 15 years.
I will always have someone who values me. You should, too. If they don't value you, you have no real estate left near them.
You are valuable. You deserve respect. Someone out there wants to love you.
