Recycling

October 17, 2005 by Vixen

Definition: A recycled man is a man that you have dated, perhaps even slept with, a man that you have have a previous relationship with. Then you guys broke up. But you see him again after the fact, dating/sleeping with him months after the breakup.

The power of recycling is a great thing. Did you know that to recycle one aluminum can gives you enough energy to run your TV for 3 hours? Wow, that’s frickin’ amazing!! Recycling anything for the eco-system is great. Recycling men is NOT.

Why, why, why do we women do this to ourselves?

Now, the problem here is that to him, you are just a booty call. But you may/may not still have feelings for him. If you don’t, your feelings tend to come back. Why? Because women feel with their hearts as well as their bodies, sex is usually (mostly) an expression for an emotion that we feel inside. So to have relations of ANY sort, even if it’s just talking to him on the phone, getting him to fix your radiator…ANY sort…set you up for another heartbreak. Why do you want another wound when your last one has barely healed?

My mother told me this phrase and it has stuck to my mind since I was a girl. “Never be like a dog returning to it’s vomit.” OK, pretty disgusting, I know, but it gets the point across.

The reason that you guys broke up is still there, he’s not going to change. And the same reason will be the reason that your 2nd-time-around relationship won’t work. It may not look the same originally, but dig beneath the depths of the load of crap, and you will realize that it’s the same thing.

So darling ladies, stop recycling your men!
