Breakups are rarely easy, and they often leave one person feeling rejected and confused. In the breakup dynamic, we often talk about “dumpers” and “dumpees.” The dumper is the one who initiates the breakup, while the dumpee is the person on the receiving end.
One question that often plagues the dumpee is: Do dumpers want to be chased? It’s tempting to believe that the dumper secretly wants you to fight for them, to prove your love and win them back. After all, isn’t that what we see in movies?
However, conventional wisdom often advises against chasing. The idea is that giving the dumper space allows them to miss you and perhaps reconsider their decision. So, which is it?
In this article, we’ll dive into the psychology behind a dumper’s feelings, exploring various scenarios to offer a nuanced perspective on whether chasing is ever a good idea after a breakup.
