    Hi all.

    Id like a bit of advice please. I went out with a girl (my childhood sweetheart i guess you could say) oh for about 9 years.

    We broke up then for a few years, got back together again for 6 months, split up then for past year. Anyway we have decided to make a go of it again. Were both 34 and love each other very much.

    My friends are all nearly married, married or have kids and tell me the only reason im back with her is cos i feel im missing out. I have never loved anyone else or even come close so i certainly dont think that is the case.

    Do you think relationships ever work after a breakup?

    She didnt feel i was into making the relationship work, which is not a bit true. IT was her broke if off and i know she regretted it big time since.

    I don't see why not if you feel that strongly.

    I'm going out now with a girl I went out with a few years ago and broke up with and I've never been happier relationship-wise. Then again we're nowhere near the 9 years or anything like that, but there are no rules saying something can or cannot work. Go for it. Forget the naysayers.

    I thinks ex's are an ex for a reason.

    Have you dealt with the issues that were causing you to keep splitting up in the first place cause if you haven't then imo your in for a rocky ride. I hope thats not the case though.

    Good luck with it.

    Well, if she has admitted that you were in fact making an effort, I don't see why you couldn't give it another go.

    Yes, because it wasn't working at the time. Doesn't mean that it can't work later on down the line.

    + 1. Have a "clear the air" conversation and make sure it's thorough.
