他其实没那么喜欢你 第65期:分手后想复合

The "But Then He Wants to Get Back Together"Excuse

"但是接着他想复合“的借口

Dear Greg,

亲爱的格雷格，

I have a boyfriend who keeps breaking up with me.

我有一个老是跟我分手的男朋友。

He also keeps calling me and begging me to get backtogether with him, each time telling me that hemisses me so much and has made a terrible mistake.

他也一直给我打电话求我回来，每次都告诉我他有多么想念我，自己犯了大错。

He's done this three times now, every six months.

他已经做了3次了，半年一次。

I hate it, but I keep taking him back because I love him.

我讨厌这样，但是我还是跟他复合了，因为我爱他。

I keep telling myself that he must be really into me, if he keeps coming back—right?

我一直在对自己说他一定是真的爱我，如果他总是回来的话，对吗?

Signed Christina

Dear Yo-Yo Champion,

亲爱的溜溜球冠军，

Funny how you notice how many times your dude comes crawling back to you, while I noticehow many times he's told you that he doesn't ever want to see you ever again.

有趣的是你注意到的是你男朋友每次爬回你身边的次数，而我注意到的是他有多少次告诉你他再也不想看见你。

For both of us the number is three, but I'll put money down that the breakup count isn't overyet.

对我们来说都是3次，但是我可以拿钱赌分手的次数还没完。

Because sadly this is what that guy is doing during your relationship recess: He's sniffingaround for something better, and when he doesn't find it, he gets lonely and comes "home."

因为难过的是，这就是他在恋爱休息中途所做的事：他四处搜寻更好的，而且当他没找到时，他感到孤独然后回“家”。

It's not that he's so into you. It's that he's so not into being alone.

这并不是说他不喜欢你，而是他不喜欢孤独。

Don't give him the chance to break up with you for the fourth time.

不要给他与你分手第四次的机会。

God, even the idea of it sounds beneath you, doesn't it?

天安，甚至这想法听起来都有损你的尊严，不是么?

Reset your breakup maximum to one and move on.

重置你的分手次数上限，开始新生活。

Greg

Deciding to get back together with someone is a complicated and difficult decision.

决定和某人复合是一个复杂艰难的决定。

Just remember that the person you are getting back together with is the same person who, notlong before, looked you in your beautiful face, took full stock of you and all your qualities, andtold you that he was no longer in need of your company.

只要记住这个你复合的对象就是不久前直视你美丽面庞，全面评估你和你的品质，告诉你他不再需要你的陪伴的同一个人。

If aliens haven't recently abducted your beloved and switched his brain for the brain of a guywho's really into you, please consider the option that the bum maybe just got a little lonely.

如果外星人没有绑架你的所爱，把他的大脑切换成真正爱你的人的大脑，那么请你考虑这差劲家伙只是有点儿寂寞的选项。
