Why did you break up and how did the break up help you?
Have you ever broken up with someone and then got back together and developed a stronger bond?
Why did you break up and how did the break up help you?
Yes, it has happened many times… I wouldn’t necessarily say that we had a “stronger bond,” but it was more of an obstacle we just faced and reconciled over, but it never helped us or the relationship. Just made it worse.
My first boyfriend, we broke up because he had mental issues. He just needed some space. We got back together and things were about the same, but we communicated a bit more about certain things. Our bond never got stronger. It weakened over time because he just wasn’t right for a relationship. We eventually ended things completely because he lost feelings.
My second boyfriend, we broke up because it was “my fault” for something. I say that in quotations, because I never did anything wrong, he just used excuses as a way to break up with me over something. He was an abusive ex. Our bond never got stronger. Again, we just communicated a bit more about certain things, and it didn’t help the relationship. It just allowed him to figure out that I was easy to manipulate and control.
Breaking up won’t always make your bond stronger, it actually can weaken the bond over time… There’s been a crack in the foundation of the relationship once there is a breakup, and the bandaid is getting back together… But the bandaid doesn’t always stay on, right? It doesn’t always fix what has been broken.
Here’s what I’m trying to say… Break ups hurt, and you may feel like getting back together can strengthen the relationship because you went through a breakup together, and gave yourself some time alone, but that does not always guarantee a healthy happy relationship afterwards. Whatever reason you two broke up, it needs to be communicated about, both partners need to put in effort to make the relationship work, not just breaking up or taking breaks... One sided relationships will not work, and neither will a lack of communication.
Yeah… he is from gag…
dated 3 years. LD. broke up one yr. got back one year. Married now. He finally realize what he missed his whole life. he had fear…
so it depends on your situation
Yes, and it was stronger and better for about 2 years then all the old demands came back around. Some people are just incapable of doing honestly self reflection and they need to have someone else to blame for every thing they do without taking any responsibility for themselves.
So it really depends on the person and the circumstances, people can change their behaviors for a period of time, but few ever really change.
I love it when people disagree without explanation. I am all about second chances, but it all depends on the circumstances and person. I can forgive people for their mistakes but that does not mean I would put myself in a position to ever really trust them again... because honestly they have proven themselves to be who they are. I can respect them for being who they are, but that does not mean I will ever truly love or trust them again.
We broke up because in my opinion because she had a toxic personality. I got back with her, after being separated for 18 months because I felt divorce should be the last opinion and we had kids. What I learned is not to stayed married to some one for the children... things never resolve themselves and it takes two people who are willing to put out the effort to make things work in the long term. One person can not constantly be expected to be the emotional care taker for the relationship when the other person takes no responsibility for themselves.

But I did have a better 'neutral' relation with an ex twice.

It has not been the case for me. I dont think it is the same the 2nd time around. New experiences and people changed the way I saw the relationship. I guess it just depends on why you broke up in the 1st place.
Oh I just read the whole post. My ex broke up w me because he got bored of me. He then married someone else. She used him and divorced him. Then he wanted to try again. I thought about it. We went out a couple times. It felt familiar and I missed him but it wasn't the same. I don't want to be 2nd choice.
nope. once you break up with someone is really hard to go back to the same relationship you used to have. in some cases it can happen though.
