Most of the time people seem to take for granted what they have in a relationship.
You may find both of you are just sort of going through the motions but then come to realize that one person has finally had enough.
Now you find yourself in a breakup that you really had no idea was coming.
However, if you had actually taken some time to really look at your own relationship, you may very well have been able to see that this is where the relationship would lead to.
The attraction was really the main reason you both got together in the first place.
If there is nothing really to the relationship, you will find that just the site of each other can get old.
In order to have a relationship really work, you will need much more then just this attraction.
Look to see if either of you had anything in common.
The truth of the matter is, if you find that you have things that you like to do, and they have things that they like to do, but neither of you ever do anything in common, well then your relationship is really over before it even begins.
This is the point where you may want to tell yourself to get over your ex instead.
Attraction is not enough to keep a relationship going.
You may not have started out this way though.
Some people find that their interests actually change as they get older.
People may begin to grow up and thus prefer much different things then they use to.
Maybe the things that were once common between you two are not so common as of now.
Although there are a few common interests that do last forever, you will of course find those that do not.
If you are not willing to work to find these interests, well then you might as well give it up now.
Look for this starting foundation before you begin to think about getting back with your ex or even starting a new relationship.
Do not just let the physical attraction be the driving force in it.
Look to see if you both have common goals and interests.
Then be ready to work at it together, otherwise you should look elsewhere and just get over your ex.
