Have you checked on your 'ex' during lock down?

The 3-4 month lock down period has given all those in love a lot of free time to check on the social media and of course most of you have checked on the profile of your ex-girl friend or boy friend during this period may be just to check on their 'being safe' or 'being available'?

You must have fallen prey also to contact them and then try to rekindle the old flame once again but it is easy to fall into a position where you are questioning and attempting to figure if you can make this work once again and convince your family. But please do keep in mind that all of this would be in vain and absolutely futile if she is not ready to come back to you. Also what you need to keep in mind is that these uncertain times can be triggering for many and in such uncertainty the emotions can be running very strongly. Making any reversal decision for yourself or even by her in this scenario may not be the most prudent. And it would be advisable to wait for the resumption of routines, before you really want to commit to her or him once again.

There are instances where the lover has gone abroad on work and got stuck their in the lock down period in a new country without much of contacts it is common that he or she has to depend upon the social media for keeping in touch with people back in our country. Your relationship was going smoothly until her/his parents forced to marry someone else, which resulted in your breakup. You went through depression for about six months after that. slowly and gradually some how you cam back to normal and you overcome it with great resolve and determination and was leading a normal life until he/ she called me once again during this lock down and said he/she is regretting her decision to leave me and desperately wants to get back to me. I really loved him/her and she too loved me selflessly. But now he/ she is already in committed relationship and can't even think of breaking the 1 year old marriage. The families will never accept both of you to marry each other now and although you really love him/her, also the love and same old spark came back strongly. Now you are really very confused and don't want to get involved in that life once again.

Or you have common friends within the same city where both of you are staying and after a while during lock down they all decided to call for a virtual reunion on video call and both you were looped in and then it was very awkward to both of you to join or not to join the call. You wanted to first check on her/him whether he/she would be interested in being on that planned call and you start exchanging messages after almost 2 months of gap. It happened in case of my friend who had broken up in March and in May both started checking on each other and the lock down limitations kept them distant physically but mentally both were once again in a loop and started talking with each other on phone or messages and there it goes back to reunion of two souls and they are now happily reconnected and rewired into committed relationship.

Lock down has provided various challenges and also opportunities to various people quite differently and some have once again started checking on their old flames just out of 'humanity grounds' as some one said but the 'other' person as is referred to now since he/she just discarded your rejoining efforts point blank, you then started naming the person as 'boot licking' and abused on the call and said you bloody go to hell and how dare you came in contact again after we decided to call it off, huh?

There have been stories in the air about all this happening and if you have heard some stories like this why not share them here, just to know the psychology of lock down challenges becoming opportunities for some love birds to build their nest once again.
