The EX
factor
Before you can say, it’s over, they’re back again and before you can say it’s on, they’ve broken up again! For instance, it’s hard to keep track of on and off history of Hollywood’s infamous couple Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee or Jude Law and Sienna Miller. The on-off factor perhaps made for an interesting courtship between Prince William and Kate Middleton. The once divorced and twice married to each other, Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton can qualify for a case study on the subject. Relationships that move one step ahead, only to move two steps back and finally be back to the square one! It’s complicated-pretty much like getting back with your ex. Does it workout is a different question altogether.
