Through Rose Colored Glasses: Why We Romanticize Our Exes

April 17, 2026·10 min
Episode Description from the Publisher

Have you ever wondered why that ex who drove you absolutely crazy suddenly seems like "the one that got away"? Today on Randomness, we're exploring the psychology behind why we romanticize past relationships, how our brains can trick us, and the different feelings associated with being dumped versus being the one who did the dumping. We’ll discuss selective memory, the highlight reel effect, and how to determine whether you genuinely miss them or just the idea of them.   If you're interested in joining our supporters club or learning more about it, click the link below:  https://www.spreaker.com/podca...I want to hear from you!
