One of my clients was asking me recently, “When I know someone is going to disappoint me, why do I let them back in, only to disappoint me again?” While she enjoyed his company, he was way too unpredictable, unreliable, and inconsistent to make for an acceptable boyfriend. Afterward, they were just friends, and she found it easier to separate herself from his behavior… for a while.
When her birthday rolled around, he insisted on doing something special to celebrate. She reluctantly agreed to get together. On the morning of this dinner, he sent a message saying he was tired from work and he needed to reschedule. This left her annoyed and frustrated, but this time with herself, asking, “Why did I fall for it again?”
