Recognize Games for What They Are

So much of the breakup process is mental strategy. Relationships spit up for many different reasons, including using a breakup to leverage power.

You could be a victim of a power play by your ex boyfriend. They want to subdue you into thinking they are leaving, only to make you beg to get back with them. It definitely isn't fair, but recognizing the situation could play dividends.

The hardest part of dealing with this situation is staying strong. You have to fight fire with fire...no matter how much it might contradict what you are thinking. The simplest way to do this is to carry on with life. Go out with your friends, entertain yourself, and try to have fun. If you stay on course than YOU will leverage the power, and your boyfriend will be trying to win you back!
