It’s impossible to answer the question “Do monkey-branching relationship last” with a quick yes or no.

The truth is that they can last very long or they can end very quickly. It all depends on what the people involved are like and how compatible they are with each other.

For example, if they aren’t compatible and lack empathy, it’s highly likely that they’ll work against each other instead of with each other and break up when things go south.

But if they’re mature and they know how to maintain a relationship, then monkey-branching relationships may not necessarily end at the first sight of trouble.

On the contrary, they could drag out for months, years, or until monkey-branchers stop feeling infatuated with each other.

No one can say if a monkey-branching relationship will last forever. Heck, no one can say if an ordinary relationship will last either.

But if a monkey-brancher lets go of the past and learns from his or her mistakes, I don’t see why a monkey-brancher shouldn’t be able to make a monkey-branching relationship work.

After all, a monkey-branching relationship is not much different from a normal relationship. The only difference is that it starts on cheating terms.

This may not be something you want to hear if you’re still trying to get back with your monkey-branching ex-girlfriend or ex-boyfriend, but try not to worry.

The truth is that cheaters don’t change much after the relationship. Most of them stay exactly as they are, which is why they oftentimes repeat the same mistakes in their new relationships.

They may not monkey-branch again because they still feel guilty from their last cheating, but they nonetheless tend to behave as they did before and as a result, manifest similar if not the same results.

In this article, we’ll try to answer the question, “Do monkey-branching relationships last.” We’ll also talk about the incentives behind monkey-branching and discuss whether exes come back after monkey-branching.

Why do people monkey-branch?

The reason people monkey-branch is that they get emotionally attached to someone who is new and interesting.

Due to the strong attraction the new person creates, they don’t see the new person as a person with flaws, but rather as someone who can spice their lives up.

This is why they keep on talking to the new person and continue to grow their bond. Eventually, their bond grows to the point where they feel that the new person understands everything about them, so they take it a step further and flirt.

When those flirting messages get reciprocated, they feel that they’re emotionally and physically on the same page, so they decide to cheat or sometimes leave their partner without cheating “to do the right thing.”

This is how they convince themselves that their previous relationship was at a standstill and that they deserve to be happy with someone who’s right for them.

There are many reasons why people allow themselves to monkey-branch, but the most common ones are:

• low moral values
• poor self-control
• poor relationship knowledge
• lacking understanding of their emotions
• unhealthy thinking patterns
• unhappiness in the relationship
• damaging associations toward their partner
• convincing themselves that they need to do whatever it takes to be happy

It’s important to understand that most people don’t look for a person to monkey-branch to. Most people find someone to confide in and gradually get closer to him or her.

Monkey-branching success rate

No two people are alike, which is why the monkey-branching success rate varies from person to person.

Some people monkey-branch into another relationship, spend two, three weeks in it, become unhappy, regret their decision, and quickly run back to their ex to secure their spot in the relationship.

As for the monkey-branchers who don’t return right away, you need to understand that they’re in no rush to return. They don’t always get involved with someone they’re badly incompatible with, so they stay with that person and give their relationship a fair chance.

Such monkey-branchers need months of time to see if they’re compatible with their new partner. Actually, they need at least 6 months because that’s when people normally start to show who they are and how they behave at their worst.

Taking this into account, we can say that the monkey-branching success rate depends on many factors that are out of the dumpee’s control.

But the most important ones depend on whether:

• the monkey-brancher has found someone as good/better than the dumpee
• the monkey-brancher and his/her new partner are compatible with each other
• the brancher has detached from the dumpee

Unfortunately, more often than not, the brancher loses romantic feelings and most of the attraction for his/her dumpee prior to monkey-branching.

The chatting, flirting, and having sex with the new person makes sure of it.

This leaves the quality of the relationship and overall compatibility in the monkey-branching relationship the most important factors to consider.

So if you’re wondering if a particular monkey-branching relationship will last, ask yourself the following questions and you’ll probably have the answers you’re looking for.

• Was the relationship the brancher left gratifying until the end?
• Was the monkey-brancher mature and developed as a person?
• And is the monkey-brancher compatible with the new person?

You probably won’t be able to answer the last question because you don’t have insight into their new relationship. But if you have it and you see that they’re arguing early on, it’s highly likely that they won’t last long.

They’ll most likely break up because they won’t be able to develop love, respect, and appreciation for each other.

How long do monkey-branching relationships last?

If we consider monkey-branching relationships from a rebounding standpoint, monkey-branching relationships last anywhere between two weeks to 6 months.

Anything longer than that is probably not a rebound because a person who has feelings left for you won’t be able to stay away from you.

At least not for long because nostalgia, pain, and regret will prevent a monkey-brancher from going against his or her desires.

However, If a monkey-branching relationship isn’t a rebound, then the relationship can last much, much longer. It can go on for years until the underdeveloped monkey-brancher falls into an old routine, starts taking his or her relationship for granted, and cheats or does something that destroys trust in the relationship.

Bear in mind that not all monkey-branchers cheat again. Not all of them are serial cheaters.

But a majority of them don’t believe in personal development, hard work, and relationship efforts, so they oftentimes lose the will to fight when relationships become challenging.

You can tell a monkey-branching relationship won’t last if the relationship has:

• trust issues
• poor communication
• arguments and misunderstandings from the start
• big cultural, personality, and religious differences
• a big age gap
• lots of unhealthy behavioral patterns

Here’s a picture showing how long monkey-branching relationships last.

Do exes come back after monkey branching?

The million-dollar question dumpees want to know is if exes come back after monkey-branching. Do they regret it, come back, and apologize for monkey-branching?

The best answer I can give you without giving you false hope is “sometimes.” Sometimes exes come back after monkey-branching because they realize that the person they branched to isn’t relationship material.

That person is often a player or someone who’s very good at persuasion, but not necessarily someone who has adequate relationship skills and long-term relationship potential.

Such exes indeed come back. They come running back faster than greased lightning because they aren’t happy in their new relationship.

As for branchers who are happy in their new relationship, they usually don’t come back. They don’t see a reason to, so they stay committed to their partner.

With that said, the only time monkey-branchers come back is when they:

• are unhappy in the relationship
• get hurt or dumped
• get involved with multiple men or women and get hit by karma
• or when they still have feelings for their ex

As you can tell, exes don’t come back after monkey-branching when they’re happy. They come back when they run out of options and discern that the only person who can make them happy is their ex.

Is there anything you can do to stop monkey-branching?

Unfortunately, there’s nothing you can do to stop your ex from monkey-branching.

No matter how much begging and pleading you do, your efforts will be in vain because your ex feels attracted to the new person.

He or she has developed a relationship – a bond with someone else, so any kind of “please come back” requests will not work. In fact, they’ll have the opposite effect as they’ll force your monkey-branching ex to relive guilt and shame.

And when your ex relives these unpleasant emotions, you can be certain that your ex will try to protect himself or herself from them. Your ex could do this by getting angry and blaming you for the way he or she feels.

This is a very common occurrence in cheating as cheaters often consider themselves to be victims. They say, “He/she forced me to do it! I had no choice!”

So whatever you do, don’t attempt to stop your monkey-brancher from leaving.

If your ex wants to leave, kindly gesture towards the doors and wish your ex well. This will convey to your ex that you respect yourself and that you won’t stop your cheating ex from leaving.

Another thing you shouldn’t do is talk to your ex. If you try to stay friends and talk to your ex, your ex won’t just hurt you and delay your healing. Your ex will also realize that you still think highly of him or her and that you’re not moving on any time soon.

To make your ex respect you, you have to do things that make you worthy of respect. And talking to your ex, unfortunately, doesn’t help with that. It just tells your ex that you’re willing to wait for him for a very long time.

So if you want to maximize your chances of getting back with a monkey-branching ex, start no contact and disappear off the face of the Earth. This way, you’ll focus on people who matter to you and convey to your ex that you’re strong enough to get over the monkey-branching breakup.

Monkey-branchers come back on their own!

Look, following the rules of no contact is not something I’ve come up with to give you false hope and to deceive you. No contact has actually been around for centuries.

Probably even longer.

But back then (before the internet was invented), no contact didn’t have a name. People referred to it simply as,” Be a man/strong woman and leave your ex alone. If your ex wants you back, he or she will let you know.”

Fortunately, nothing has changed since then.

When dumpers change their minds about their breakups and want their ex back, they find a way to contact their dumpee. They do whatever it takes to get back in touch and try to get back together.

Technology has made it incredibly easy for them to do that in the 21st century. All they have to do is log in to Facebook, Instagram, or whatever social media you’re using and leave a message.

So don’t think that your remorseful ex won’t find a way to contact you. If your ex is serious about you and not being with you brings him or her pain, your ex will cross deserts for you and contact a hundred people just to get your number.

But you have to leave your ex alone and regain the value that was taken away from you when you got cheated on.
