How To: Break Away from a Player
We’ve all been there, there’s that one guy that you just can’t stop going back to despite him treating you like crap.
He makes you feel great for 24 hours and then you’re stuck in his trap for good. He’s horrible to you, you swear you’ll never go back and then as soon as he pays you a compliment you’re back in his grip.
Here are some tips to help you get break away from a player.
Be Honest with Yourself
Try and think about the situation with a fresh perspective. What would you say to a friend in the same situation?
If he’s messing around with other girls and then just picking you up when he needs an ego boost then you’ve got to break free.
If you’ve been ignoring his horrific behaviour and making excuses for it then you know deep down he’s no good, so get rid!
Clean Break
You might appreciate his friendship but at the end of the day it’s a clean break that will get you through this.
Cut off all connections, don’t socialise with him and don’t put yourself in a situation that will see you both hooking up again.
It’s Not a Game
If you’re simply breaking all ties with him only to make him realise what he’s lost and then have him beg for you to come back then don’t even bother trying to break it off in the first place.
How many times have you already played that game? And how many times have you gone back only to be left heartbroken?
It’s time to call it off for good. You can’t change him so it’s time to find someone worth your affection and time.
Stay Strong
It’s likely that you’re also guilty of using him for a bit of a confidence boost so it will be tempting to fall back into old habits but you’ve got to stay strong.
No matter how often he calls and texts begging you to come back because ‘things will be different’, you know deep down they won’t so steer clear.
You’ll find someone who actually cares for you soon enough and look back and wonder why you bothered with such a jerk in the first place.
