Days become weeks. Weeks become months then one late night, the unexpected occurs. You’re on Instagram in search of something that resonates to your current situation or maybe you’re catching up on the latest “ tea “ from your favorite gossip account. You receive one of those drop down notifications at the top of your phone as it reads “ I miss you…” You’re surprised, possibly at a loss for words as you begin the struggle of trying to figure out how to respond to this message from the person who became a stranger.

Stop, think about it, be logical here. First, who is this person… What did they mean to you and what caused that particular relationship to end? Good terms or bad terms? Were you happy with them? Did you spend time in hell, pretending that for some reason they actually cared? Was it love or lust? I know you want to respond right away and that’s usually due to the fact that you’re either lonely or this may be a person that you actually cared about so much that you’ve held on to this glimmer of hope that one day things would get better.

The “ i miss you “ text is a form of emotional manipulation. Most guys only send this text to women out of boredom or quite possibly due to feeling horny. These texts are usually sent in effort to trigger some sort of emotional feeling within a woman who has either moved on with their lives or are now in a new relationship. It’s sort of a way to display a type of control over another individual. Think about it. You were with them at one point and all they ever did was let you down, destroy your life, disappoint you and use you for all that you could offer. You began to develop true feelings for them and they walked away with some stupid excuse just so that they could go out and fuck someone else. It’s been some time and now they’re back because they most likely want to make you their fool. There’s nothing beautiful or romantic about someone who leaves you at your lowest point and returns after you’ve done the hard work of piecing yourself back together again. There’s no love in someone coming back to you after they’re done fucking someone else. Think about it…he hurt you before, he made you feel like you were the crazy one, he was never there, he refused to make time and he left you as if you did something wrong and now he wants to re-enter your life? Why would you re-entertain being with someone who only views you as pure entertainment, something to do out of pure boredom.

Think about it…
