The term “rocking soda machine” is borrowed from the hit television show “Seinfeld,” as Jerry Seinfeld claimed that breaking up was always like rocking a soda machine back and forth. This means that it is difficult to actually “end it.” Particularly if the relationship has been a long one. People tend to get comfortable in relationships, even if they no longer love or even like the other party. It is difficult for most people to give up that comfort level.
Hence, the rocking soda machine starts. You get dumped and all of a sudden, the dumper calls you and appears to be having second thoughts. You take this as a signal that he or she wants to reunite and get yourself all hyped up for a reunion.
In some cases, a reunion does occur. In even some rare cases, the relationship ends up working out. Relationships are like fingerprints - no two are exactly alike. In a good percentage of the cases, however, the same old problems that broke you up in the first place are going to break you up again.
Some people try to “remain friends” in an effort to still have their freedom but have the option of going back with their ex lover if they find out that the grass is not greener elsewhere. This behavior keeps the soda machine rocking back and forth as it is impossible to stay together, but hard to break those ties that bind.
The worst part about the soda machine effect is that your ex lover will most likely call you just as you are beginning to heal. You are on the mend and although still a little hurt, you are ready to move on. In some cases, a chance meeting will be the reason for the call. In others, a holiday, such as Christmas, is the excuse they will give for calling you.
