Stop glorifying getting back together

I’m in the middle of a divorce. A divorce from a man I’ve loved for 3 years. I still love him, with my whole heart. I will never wish anything bad to happen to him, and I will likely miss him every day for the rest of my life. My husband and I were on our second go around of trying to make things work. We struggled for many years. We were two different people, with two very different upbringings, two different dreams, and two different goals. We loved deeply, but that love wasn’t enough to fix the fact that our lives were constantly moving apart.

I started watching rom-coms during the initial breakup. I wanted to believe love was really enough, that it exists and is attainable, that it doesn’t require ripping my soul in two to sustain it. My problem came when I realized that popular culture idolizes getting back together. What do I mean?

- Jane The Virgin: The main character is part of a love triangle, and gets back together with both of her exes MULTIPLE times. They ignore the deep mistrust and abandonment, and piggy back on this idea that love can conquer anything.

- Crazy Ex-Girlfriend: This show not only allows the main character to get back together with ALL THREE OF HER EXES, and also MULTIPLE times, but also perpetuates the idea that you can convince someone to love you if you’re creative enough

- New Girl: I literally do not even want to get started on this. 

- Friends: You get the idea

Don’t get me wrong, I think love can conquer so much. However, you can outgrow your partner. You can hit a wall. You can lose sight of each other. You can unintentionally hurt one another. Second chances are hard to give. Third, fourth, and fifth changes are masochism. Every chance rips at the foundation in a big way. It’s the hardest thing to reopen old wounds in hope of actually healing them, especially when the risk or further damaging those wounds is so high.

All I ask is that we stop glorifying the idea that your ex will come back or your love will fix all of your issues or that people who make an explicit decision to split will always come back to one another. Most cases, that is not the case. We need to start showing mainstream show that the heart is not some unbreakable rubber band. Splits happen and they hurt. It’s a sad fact of life, but it’s true.
