I get it. But I guess I see things differently with the very toxic women (albeit just a small amount) who are exes.Pure accident I was having some drinks at the house with a pal. Wasn't drunk, but kinda tipsy.
Anyway. My pal went to use the bathroom, so I decided to look at my Bumble account.
As I was swiping away, I wasn't even concentrating and barely looking. I swiped right on a couple of hotties, and by accident swiped right on her profile.
To be honest, I wasn't sure it was her.. I kinda thought for a moment "Wait was that my ex"
Its only later that night, she messaged me in Bumble, and then the penny dropped.
So much for keeping NC.. Anyway I haven't responded back to her, and I reckon it might make me look petty, if I unmatch her.
I look at things as such: why go back to something that will fail when there are sooo many better dating options out there. And let's be honest......these toxic women (BPD, narcissist traits, etc) are REALLY good at getting us sucked back in. You finally got away, learned who they were, understand how addictive they can be in a very destructive way......I just don't see where it's even worth it to revive something like that to any degree.
No matter how things start with those types of women the ending is always the same. And it's not a good situation to be in.
Who cares if you think it makes you look petty if you know it's the healthiest option for you to remove her. And keep her removed.
Just my thoughts. I learned at an early age that something very hot will burn me. So I don't keep touching it.
