Understand, however many men you may change externally, you will not find a solution for this problem of continuously changing partners. Changing the external man or woman and trying to find a solution is the Western method. If you don't change your house, car, and husband once in three months, you are not considered updated! How long this can go on? I tell you, don't listen to this foolish advice. Don't be misguided. Don't think changing the outside is going to bring any solution in any way. Look in. The solution is within.

Find the source of your fantasies; find the root. Why has your boyfriend become an ex-boyfriend? Because, in the secret corners of your mind, he did not match your inner ideas and innermost fantasies of what a boyfriend should be like. The fantasy, idea, visualization, you carry about the concept of ‘boyfriend’ did not fit with your actual boyfriend. That is why he became an ex.

Listen: unless you work with the fantasy, learn to accept and settle down with reality, you cannot relax at any moment. Unless you correct the fantasy and accept the real person in your life, you are never going to settle down. You may forget your ex-boyfriend and catch another boyfriend. But very soon he will also become another ex!

As long as the fantasy is there, however many persons you may change, once in three months, once in a month, or once a week, you will not experience peace. You will only have ex, ex, ex and why, why, why in your life, that’s all.
