A female reader, agonyauntsanonymous United States +, writes (6 August 2012):

Well its simple. Its easy to cut contact and you dont see him, and when you dont see him the feelings fade with time. But when you see him your feelings get stirred up. You forget why you broke up and long to be with him again even though in reality thats not what you want. Its somewhat of a chemical reaction in your body/brain. Its also likely that you may not be entirely over him. You just have to build yourself back up. Fill your life with good distractions- friends family work school, and remember the reasons why u broke up in the first place.
