Just when he was overcoming all this, he re- ceived a text from the girl asking if he would like to ‘get back’. “I went out with her thinking she will give her reasons behind this disappear- ance. But, she didn’t even acknowl- edge the fact that she did. She just said that she was too caught up and needed some personal space and that I was making an issue for no reason. She went on to add that other boys have never made a big deal about it!” Psychologist Seema Hingorrany says, “This is another outcome of taking relationships in a frivolous manner. Sometimes, the person is in-between relationships. They don’t usually communicate because they don’t want to own up. And when they come back — mostly, due to the com- fort in getting back to their ex — they have no regrets. These phases and trends are very healthy in relationships.” Adds Shefali, “What’s certain here, though, is that the emotional tone is just not as much. People just want to return assuming that their previous partner is willing to take them back and it is a ready relationship. When you have to woo somebody new, it’s a more daunting task. Picking up from where you left may be bizarre but in- teresting because hearing things like their partner longed and waited for them could be a turn-on.” ◗ LIFESTYLE ALSO PLAYS A ROLE Many submariners choose to ignore their behaviour. While psychologists add that this could be because they are mentally disturbed, it’s not necessari- ly the case. Counsellor Padma Rewari, says, “Lifestyle plays an important role here. There may be a lot of uncer- tainties in a particular relationship. There is a chance they are not confi- dent of it and don’t want to face any consequences. After realising that nothing is working for them, they de- cide to get back.” “Youngsters nowadays don’t focus on the depth of a relationship but on the numbers and variety. This is a pri- mary reason for such behaviour. Plus, freedom and the urge to do ‘as they please’ adds to this,” says Shefali. Long time, no ‘sea’... HAVE YOU BEEN SUBMARINED? TIPS ● The submariner needs to be a little more empathic. Any interpersonal relationship needs some amount of respect. “If your feelings towards a person have changed, it is better to tell them about it so when you come back, they are not taken by surprise and left wondering. It takes a good amount of self-respect and self- esteem to stand up for your choice and not just walk away from somebody. Don’t toil and play; it could leave people broken,” says Shefali. ● If you are the one at the receiving end, remember there is more to life. “Don’t get dramatic but let them know how exactly you feel about this. Avoid getting into this once over, but not without giving them a piece of your mind,” adds Shefali. ● Padma warns, “Observe and see if there are any discrepancies in their behaviour. If they stand up to their mistake or explain after being confronted, you could give them a second chance.” ● Sometimes, submariners come from traumatic backgrounds and broken relationships, so it’s not entirely their fault. However, Seema advises, “Never take the blame on yourself; don’t let them trigger your negative beliefs and make you feel that you’re not good enough.
