Does it ever work to take an ex back?

[strykzone]

Unfortunately it doesn't feel like I have enough context to make an informed decision: how long were you two together? Who initiated the relationship? Was it reciprocated/mutual/easy? Were there other circumstances that made the relationship worth having? Circumstances/issues that made the relationship difficult?

Look, all I can say from experience is that if there were problems and they aren't gone, its just going to end again. I've yoyo'd with a girl I very much love, heart and soul and I know she does too but we have very different lifestyle issues, so it couldn't work. Figure out what you want first, and if you really can see this woman as being with you when you're both old, mother of your children sort of thing. My advice is dont have a relationship just to pass the time or if you are unsure; because if the right girl shows up and you aren't available for her; then you are going to have a very difficult decision to make later in life.

Hmm, I don’t think so.

I’ve chatted to my ex wife a few times about this, or rather we have chatted about it.

we are still friends but do not want to risk that friendship by trying to re kindle anything.

We are both still between relationships and friends but that same love is missing.

we like each other and care, but don’t really want to progress that.

closest I have came was a girl I dated casually for basically casual sex, we split up and then about a year later decided to have a proper relationship, lmao we sucked we were so incompatible, we could fuck each other till cows came home but both sucked as partners in a relationship, we split and both learned a lesson

Though someone apologizes, it doesn't mean they've changed their behavior.
Someone doesn't have to be a "bad person" to not be suitable for you.
It's been months and you were getting over her. WHy not continue to get over her. You still have to see her at work. Say hello and be pleasant.
She might've just been cleaning house, as you've said.
From what you've mentioned, she didn't say anything about getting back together with you, did she? Sounds like guilt.
Let it be and get her out of your system. I don't get the idea that the's swooning to get back to you.
Don't you offer to allow her to treat you shitty again, either. That's not the way people who love each are. You ask for space, say you're feeling shitty and don't HURT the other person.
She doesn't sound like good news to me.

Everything you wrote here you need to tell her and ask her. This is an open and honest conversation you need to have with her. Each relationship is so individual to each person (s) involved and for some an ex is an ex forever and for some they end up being together forever the second or third or forth time around. This isn’t black and white. But please do put the care for yourself first and do what you feel is right for you ❤️

I tell people all the time... Always remember the reason you broke up in the first place. Concentrate on that instead of maybe being nice and giving them another chance.

[Browneye57]

No. Taking an ex back is like rooting through the trash - you know, like dumpster diving. You might find something you like, but it's still discarded trash.

And don't put so much into a new relationship - the actual percentage of chance they are really the one and it will turn into a happy marriage for eternity is rather quite slim.
And up your game, do a man-makeover, and get a new girl.
So hit the gym, HARD, and make a shit-ton of dough, you'll have all the pussy you can handle in no time.

[pleasestopthis]

In some cases it may be worth it but the way you're describing your situation, it seems she has some issues... just move on pal, it will better for you to find someone more suitable for you. Her not being a bad person doesn't mean she's a good match for you. But if you really want to give it a try, this girl needs time to recover from whatever she's going through and THEN be with you

[IronLady6354]

I can't say it could or has never worked. I'm sure there are examples of it successfully happening. However, 9/10 there's a good reason why the couple broke up and therefore shouldn't get back together

i took Little Dick Joey back like 4 times.. i was single, alone, depressed, and desperate to have a guy.

Every time, he disappointed me. The last time, he went to jail for selling coke and maryjane.

[LogicalGal123]

It never works. To some people it does, but for me it doesn't. I think u just need the time to think if it's worth it to be with them again. I learned the hard way but I don't regret it

[whatdoyouwantt]

Yours at least apologised, mine doesn’t give 2 fcks about me. Seems like I meant nothing, still better to know now than later but I will miss him so much:...

[ashley_85]

Yes, but it really depends on why they are your ex. Sometimes people reconnect with people from their past, they have matured and in a situation like that, perfectly acceptable..

[FreyaRed]

I think it doesn't take long until she starts to treat you the way she did it before. Don't be gullible and don't fall in this trap again.

[PinkHamster]

To me it’s okay if they still have feelings for each other. Sometimes getting back with an ex can be good. 💕✨

[devilish-cutie]

It really depends on a lot of factors. But generally i believe in second chances, but not in giving too many chances.

[karaspara]

There are cases where it does I don’t doubt but in my experience a ex is a ex for a reason and trust me I’ve tried

[Uptowngirl88]

Sounds tp me whatever guy she was interested in didn't work out so she's using you until the next best thing comes along. If she really liked you she wouldn't have left in the first place

[lucyloo76]

I find you can be a friend. But the romance is dead.

[Caramelpie]

It’s better to move on and find someone new. I know I would never take an ex back even If I was in love with him :/

[The_Maphio]

Sometimes, but I'd never advice on eating re-heated soups. They suck.

[EaterPeter]

Only if both of you try hard enough to sort out your differences.

[Twalli]

You could try to reconnect as friends and see what happens from being just friends

[robocop666]

David X a dating guru said never to take an ex back. You will just remember why you broke up in the first place

[GoldenTulip]

It rarely works. It is a EX with a "X"
