Before you met the love of your life did you ever have a backup?

CJ reaches asked the question to all of you Before you met the love of your life did you ever have a backup boyfriend/girlfriend and why?

According to thoughtcatalog, some people say that having a backup boyfriend or girlfriend has it's benefits.

  1. Sparing you from a heartache because you have someone else to get over another person instead of doing it alone
  2. It is self-fulfilling because the flames of being together are always kept high.
  3. Your viability because sometimes you might loose it in the relationship you are in and need the other person to remind you that you are worth more.

Here is what some of our Beat listeners said: 

Hate to admit it but yes when I was younger I did always have a backup Boyfriend and I even had a sex buddy on the side. I guess cause it was really not true love. Cause now I couldn't imagine being without my hubby
