    I have done so once, and it didn't work out.

    I have another ex I'd probably like to have another go with but it's out of the question...

    Not much use I'm afraid, but take from it what you will...

    is she seeing someone else, if you dont mind me asking

    if she dumped you then chances are that she still doesn't like you but has *settled* for you.


    yep.

    NB: I'm not Sleepy
    But similar experience.
    I don't think it would work though.
    You'd have to wonder why you split up in the first place (evidently I didn't call in the hit)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,476 ✭✭✭ShriekingSheet


    I have and it didn't work out.

    Simply because the factors that caused the split hadn't changed.

    Even if you really care about eachother but circumstances have changed (going to colleg in another county or something like that) and caused a break up- You still have to be sure those same circumstances/reasons have changed before getting back.

    Trust me.

    Breaking up the second time can be even worse!

    i have, and it worked out.

    we went out for three months, broke up for three months (she was going through a hard time and it just wasnt going well) got back together and we're still together a year and a bit on :)

    weither or not it would work again would depend on the reason why they split.
    In some cases there is no going back!
    it is nice to think that some people make it work though.

    go happy endings!!!!!!!!!!!:p

    Not at all. Nope, she's not seeing anyone else, her taste in men has just improved! :p

    GETTING BACK WITH AN EX IS A no-no. If two people don't work out - it's for a good reason. Having ex's means learning from mistakes by either party & moving forwards & life is about progressing forwards - revisiting the past goes totally against that.

    I've made the mistake (a few times) of getting back with ex's - all it did was makes things worse for both parties.. it was more a convenience issue for both parties when it happened & also a 'comfort factor' & it's all too easy to fall back into the comfort zone

    but hey - it's your life, you decide for you because it's you that's gotta live with any consequences not us board monkeys.....

    Don't do it. Move on.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 297 ✭✭zag


    Yep, did once. Well, we didn't really get back together, we just weren't seeing anyone else, and had comfort sex for convenience. A very bad set up in deed. And when one of us would see someone else, it fuelled jealousy and guilt. Bad idea.

    That's sterling advice there.
