If all is said and done, and you still find yourself itching to go back and stir things up with your former partner (despite having been through multiple rounds of making up and breaking up), Yarbrough says there might be something deeper going on. "Some people enjoy the 'excitement' of the makeup-breakup cycle," he says. "It's almost invigorating to them." Yarbrough does point out that this isn't necessarily the person's fault — if they saw this type of relationship happen with friends and family in the past, they may just think that that's how relationships go. "If that's the case, you need to get to the bottom of why you feel this way," he says. "A lot of times, that could mean therapy."
