I'm 100% sure that if I didn't have my current LTR, I'd break down like a little bitch and go back to the slut-ex.
(I've done that before)
I've also had a girl that was a lot better (A LOT BETTER) than the ex and left the new girl to go back to the ex.
I could have the ex right now - but I'd have to give up a girl who has been almost perfect and done nothing wrong to me.
That would be really fucking stupid. But I do love the ex. I can't rationalize it and I know she's not good for me.
But it is soul draining like you said. I know the answer isn't to take her back.
The best thing I can rationalize is progressing with my life and seeing if my ex has changed every once in a while (surprise! she hasn't).
