Have you ever broken up with someone and then were reunited? How did that feel?

[YesterdaysChild]

People break up, and people get back together. But did you ever realize after your breakup that this was THE one for you, and they realized that you were the one for them? Breakups can be bitter, but sometimes they can be so sweet when you are reunited.

No, never broke up and got back with someone. 😌

Never reunited after a breakup and regret it to this very day. 😪

Yes! Broke up and then made up and it is now heavenly! 😍

Shut up blondie you old jag! 😠

[AutumnSerenity]

We broke up for a few months. It felt liberating at first. We buried ourselves in work, partying, and dating during that time. Towards the end it turned out that we were both struggling emotionally without each other. A mutual friend knew we were both too proud to initiate the conversation so they tricked us into attending the same event. We got back together that night. That was about 12 years ago. We’ve been together ever since.

[Whitewulf]

Did you guys sleep with anyone else during the break?

[AutumnSerenity]

I’m sure he did. I heard things from mutual friends. I was with a girl I met at work (first time for everything). I kept comparing men to him so dating another guy didn’t feel comfortable. I didn’t ask him about it (what for). It happened while we were separated. No harm, no foul.

[IslaTheWitch]

no, never and it doesn't look like it will change in the future :D

[love_conquers_lust]

Nope.

We know you’re a redheaded Jag:

Not in my profile pic. And that was supposed to say hag, not jag. 🙄

[love_conquers_lust]

Too late, die is cast.

[YesterdaysChild]

Crap! 🤐

[BLP11520]

I have got a broken heart like many here have

[Daniela1982]

Well don't give up. Keep moving and it may come to you.

None of the above.

I started dating Pat in the summer of 1979. I think I was just a diversion for her but she was the first substantial long term relationship for me. She was attentive, affectionate, and the sex was great, but she eventually reconnected with her ex-husband and told me AMF. I always wished that it had worked out. Her attempted reconciliation with her ex-husband didn't work and she moved on to someone else. We stayed in touch sporadically until about 1986, when I received an unexpected letter saying that she was married, pregnant, and happy as a pig in slop.

I got married in 1987 and that marriage lasted until 2004. I had thought about Pat quite a few times when my marriage was falling apart. When we finally separated, I became determined to find Pat and get an update on her status. Through some helpful chance happenings, I made contact, we started talking through emails, then on the phone, and she was also in the midst of a divorce. I then flew to upstate NY to visit her at Thanksgiving. I think we were good at consoling each other as we proceeded through our divorces, and we should have left it at that. However, Pat moved to my hometown as soon as she could, and we got married in 2005.

Sounds like a fairy tale story, right? About 18 months later, Pat cheated on me with another female, and she and I ended our marriage shortly after I learned about that.

So, to answer your question, it felt great until I learned about her cheating, and then it felt awful.

[YesterdaysChild]

Makes you wonder if that was the reason for her other divorces.

[Whitewulf]

Is it really cheating though with another female? I mean if I walked in on my wife and another woman I’d be pissed yes, but only cause they started without me.. but I’m sorry you felt it was cheating and in all seriousness if it was behind your back it was. Either way betrayal is shitty feeling. I’ve felt it many times.

[OlderAndWiser]

@yesterdayschild I really believe that she is incapable of true, longterm commitment to anyone of either sex. She was a sober alcoholic and I think she has borderline personality syndrome.

@Whitewulf Yes, it was behind my back, hidden from me, and I learned only because she confessed to someone who she thought was her friend but that person felt that I should know what had happened.

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

Yes, my ex and I broke up 7 times in the last 8 months of our relationship and reunited every time. 8th break up was final. I wish we could finalize it with the 1st one.

[YesterdaysChild]

That's a lot of breakups. Maybe he isn't the one for you.

[Likes2drive]

Did try getting back together with two different girlfriends at different times of my life but it never was the same so it never worked out, I still wonder how it would have worked out it I stayed with the first one. But now I’m single again after being married several years ago

[YesterdaysChild]

Maybe you liked being single more?

[Likes2drive]

It has its pluses but I like companionship too

[sawno]

I never broke up myself, but the girl who broke up to me I haven't reunited with. I did try to reach out once I was ready to but she was taken at the time. So if its ever going to be a reunion she has to come after me while I am still single as I am not waiting.

[Middleman]

Yup that’s currently happening with me - am getting together with someone whom I’d lost touch a while back (as she lived far away). While it does feel a bit strange at first having not seen each other in a while, we are trying to work out things between us. She’s moving near to me soon as it’s something we’re both looking forward to so should be good.

[ArrowheadSW]

Only once, did I break up with someone and then get back together. It was my first girlfriend when I was a teenager. We were together for maybe 8 months but then grew apart. It was a learning experience.

[YesterdaysChild]

Well at least you learned something so maybe it wasn't a complete waste.

[ArrowheadSW]

Plus it was a nice 8 months being with her! So no, not a waste at all.

[LiamJHayden]

Nope. I have never been reunited.

[LiamJHayden]

But it does remind me of this song. One of the few where Oates sang lead:

[YesterdaysChild]

I like Hall and Oats but never heard that song before. I guess it wasn't a top 40 hit.

[NathanDavis]

nope... not like this

[strateguy632]

never
