Insights from an experienced love coach
According to Antoine Peytavin, founder of jerecuperemonex.com
Breakups trigger major emotional upheaval, whether you end it or not. Seeing an ex again reassures you that you still exist in their world and matter to someone who shared your life. It lets you assess their progress without you while retaining some control. Men naturally love to help—fixing furniture, troubleshooting computers, or advising on dating. Keeping contact open also hedges against romantic dry spells, allowing physical intimacy if she's still interested. Many exes hook up just for sex. Men feel valued and desired, boosting their ego.
