Any luck with getting back with an ex?
Posted: 11/13/2005 6:08:38 PM
I'm sure most of us have wanted to get back together with an ex at one point or another. Has anyone ever successfully reunited with an ex? If so, what were the circumstances? It's such a downer when people tell you to "get over him," "move on," etc. when you're going through a terrible heartbreak (I'll spare the details of my sob story). I'm not in la-la land - I realize that one has to get on with their life somehow, but perhaps someone could share a positive experience and give me a glimmer of hope.

its been known to happen & sometimes it can be great. i got back together with an ex. we were apart for 2 yrs (the time needed for both of us to grow a bit) got back together & stayed together for 4 yrs. split b/c he moved out of province. :(
we still talk every week. & he wants me to move out to be with him after I finish my school.
funny how things happened though. during our time apart we both dated other people. after that relationship ended...I decided to get back in touch with old friends (b/c my bf had been an a$$ & cut me off from my friends) I gave this guy a call, on a whim. got his voice mail & left a message. he was away for the holidays but gave me a call when he got home. we went out as friends but the chemistry was still there. (& no we didn't end up in the sack that night)
4 yrs later...it was still going strong but our career goals got in the way of us being together. (for the moment)
so there can be a possibility of getting back with an ex. but...I think those occasions are rare. & really depends on the reasons for the slip in the first place. as well as how long its been since the 2 of you were together. I just know mine worked out.

I havent had any luck in getting back with my ex, I want to so bad, because I still love her and She & our daughter is my life and I would never be the husband I was before if given another chance.

You break up for a reason!!!! Has it's pros and cons..... however, it's hard to forget the past and what caused the problems to occur. I have never gotten back together with an ex, not once. Keep in mind, it's all about learning in this thing we call life!

I have only one ex who would even talk to me, but rather than try again with her I would rather start up with someone new. The ex found some reason to turn on me, and she probably would again, given the chance. With someone new there is the hope she will actually keep on liking me.

I got back with one ex in the past and it was never the same. I figured that if you broke up for one thing, rarely will it ever get "fixed". The second time around, there was no trust and there was always that doubt in the back of my mind that prevented any hope that it would work out.

If you try to get back together with an ex, you must remember that the past is the past and must want to forgive, forget and compromise. Nothing will be the same. There will be change and you have to accept that. But you must both be willing to work at starting new and forgetting the past. It is hard work, but remember nothing good has come from easy, if that was the case no one would break up. Nothing is trivial. For every action there is a reaction, and it is the reaction that counts, not the action.

Hello from Las Vegas!!!

Steve Wynn got back together with his ex. I have a friend who did as well. In rare instances it can happen. Sometimes, in addition to marriage, the divorce/split does not work out as well.. ;)

Just stay his friend, if you can sweetie. I love my ex very much, always will, but I'm finding that being his friend is spades! We speak of our "feelings" more now then we ever did and he seeks me out 'cause I know him better than anyone. I don't think I'd WANT to ruin this new found friendship by complicating it with talk of getting back together. *shrug* People change all the time though....and everyone is different. The worst thing you can do though is lay your heart on the table. Just tell him you will always be there for him, should he need your friendship, then LEAVE HIM ALONE!!! He'll come around if his heart is still feeling it.

Good luck Hun....

THERE IS AN OLD SAYING THAT SAYS! ONCE THE VASE IS CRACKED YOU CAN TRY TO GLUE IT BACK BUT IT WILL ALWAYS REMAIN CRACKED! IN LIFE YOU CANNOT ALWAYS GO BACK YOU MUST MOVE ON!

It's funny - but my ex and I are closer now than we ever were. Mind you, we rarely see or speak anymore, but when we do, it's very civil. I think that she knows if she were ever in serious trouble, I'd still be there for her. We get along now than we ever did married. I think a huge weight was lifted off when the choice for divorce was settled. As much as I'll always care for her, it'll be a cold day in hell before I ever get back in a relationship. It would never work.

I've gotten back with an ex before...3 1/2 years the first time, had a 6 year break, and then got together for 4 1/2 more years...but we were younger then and nothing had changed. I also dated a great guy at two different time periods in the last 12 years; we'd still be together if we had communicated as well back then as we do now; but silly me was supposed to get married last year and I told him about it; and he ended up getting married - but I didn't, lol...we laugh about it now, but we also realize what we lost...but he's become a wonderful friend and I wouldn't turn that away for anything.

I believe a lot depends on how long you were together, how well you knew each other, and what broke you up. I dated one man for a couple of months, there was no drama and no bad break up, so if the opportunity arose and the interest was still there on both our parts, sure I'd date him again...we didn't get far enough down the path to find out if there were any deal breakers, so it would be interesting to date again and see where it goes.
