He was my high school sweetheart and we became adults together, there are a lot of memories there but he financially and emotionally abused me at the end of the relationship and I would be happy to never see his face in person again.

I'm being pursued by really high-quality people who are mature, respectful, and successful getting into the dating pool smacked me in the face HARD with what my value even is.

People who behave and live in the low vibrational and childish the way my ex does now, do not even bother approaching me. Trying again with my ex would be like coming down from the penthouse of a luxury hotel to sleep in the gutter.

I don't even hate him anymore but we have just chosen completely different life paths. He chose drugs, alcohol, porn, and disrespecting his family, friends, and everyone in his life, he's gone off the rails in a shocking way. I'm too busy enjoying my karma to waste a moment more with him. I know that the man I loved has suffocated and died inside him completely by now. I'm ready and excited to fall in love again with someone who will truly value me the way I value them <3

I'm actually so happy and relieved to be away from my ex and even if we were on good terms once you say you are done with me once, that's it, you are done and I'm moving on!

No taking an ex back is like trying to reheat mcdonald French fries in a microwave , it will never be the same lol , I tried taking n ex back when I was younger and that was my answer to never take an ex back again , I thought things would be good but the feelings weren’t the same and the chemistry and connection weren’t as well, When I had sex with her it was more of a revenge sex then anything , I banged her like she was just some girl that was just looking to get laid that I picked up at a bar , that was my answer to end it with her and I know that I could never love her the same like I did before she was my ex. People that hold on to their exes are just wasting their time , if they truly loved and valued you they wouldn’t be your ex period is the way I look at it , Most girls hold onto to their exes like they were these amazing people , if they were so amazing they wouldn’t be your ex , Almost everyone of my ex girlfriends has tried to get me back and I just laugh and shake my head , What most girls don’t realize when they are dating a new partner , the guy doesn’t wants to hear about her ex , he feels disrespected and unvalued , when she constantly talks about her ex to him , it’s a huge turn off to him , a guy will more than likely dump her and find a new girl that values him not a girl that values her ex. Most guys don’t take exes back because we don’t want a girl that has gotten other dick in her , most of us guys are territorial when it comes to a girl we really like , we don’t want to imagine another guy having his way with her , it’s a huge turn off to most of us , I can’t say all cuz there are guys out there that like that shit lol more power to them , Me personally isn’t going to value a girl that doesn’t value me and prioritize me , I want a girl that wants to be loved the same way I want to be loved , I don’t really care about her past I care about her and I’d present a future together , Knowing it’s her and I vs the world

If my most recent ex came back, I would take her back. When I first met her, she made it clear that she was only in California temporarily, until her mother retired after her last job posting (she ran a hospital). We got together knowing that things would end when she moved back to the East Coast, because her mom was her only family, and she didn't want her mom to be alone. The point is: we didn't break up because of anything to do with either of us personally - we ended it because of an outside situation. If her mother had died suddenly, and she had no reason to stay on the East Coast, then, yeah, I'd do it.

As far as previous ex's? No. Far too much time has past, and they've had other lives that I have no desire to be involved in at this point. As a rule, I never go backwards, and I never take back an ex - the one I mentioned above would be the rare exception, though that's not likely to happen either.

[Paulalove98]

No I’d never go back to him because he had his chance to better himself while we were together and he never chose to even try to do so with his mental health issues and more so he wasn’t sure about what he wanted in the future especially children because I desire to be a mom and he had uncertainty, also we live super far so there was a lot to think about. Our relationship was complicated, I had to realize the truth in it that there was no way around it when that person doesn’t wanna put the effort as much as you are. Going backwards to an ex to me sounds unhealthy unless there was an exception that those individuals didn’t end on bad terms.

[Avicenna]

That would depend on which ex. Probably none of them, because the best ones are married now. But I did have some great gfs when I was in my 20s and 30s.

[Saltystardust]

Absolutely not. Not just because I'm married and have a family. Even if I was single I have a few other reasons. the first being I don't think people can learn to be empathetic or learn sympathy, and from her lack of it I know for sure it'd just end in one of her firey explosions again. Secondly there are MANY other people in the world, I don't need to be with her, if there's others that are more compatible. And lastly, I'm one of those people who refuses to go back into a relationship with someone once it's over. When it's done it's done.

[FunkyMonkee]

My first girlfriend already kinda came back 21 years ago, at least for a moment and I don't think I'd have any problem getting back with her unless she really is as ugly as she appeared to be in the last picture I saw of her a few years ago.

My 2nd ex came back about 3 year ago but I just didn't feel the same about her anymore as I did the first few times we fucked in `83.

I don't think I could ever trust my third ex because of the way she abused me the last couple years we were SUPPOSEDLY together!! In that case, I WOULD rather step on a cactus!! I stepped on a carpet tack in my bare feet early this year and never even noticed it until about 5:00 later!!

[Anonymous]

Had an ex try this. I f*cked her a few times with no intention of starting up again. She had cheated on me in the past and was still with that other guy that she left me for. Things weren't working out for her with the new guy as he wasn't a big sucker like me paying for everything, treating her right and being a good partner. Apperently he was cheating on her, had taken money from her, been hitting her and shitting on her. He came to my door to hit me when he found her at my place which was all I needed as the cunt had called cops on me previously.

[SoftCliff]

No lol it's been too many years since then. Plus it wasn't any serious relationship, just a joke

There's a guy from Gag I've known for 9ver a year. He's very special and close to me and we have a connection, so he's the one I wanna be in person

[SoftCliff]

Typo
I meant *for over a year

[Markm3212]

NO, easy answer, you shut the door for a reason. the problem is that the human mind will only remember the good parts and forgets about the bad (its a protection thing imbedded in us). so we look back with fond memories and dont remember the bad parts, hence why so many people go back with ex's. but the reality is that we left them or ended the relationship for a reason and should stick to it

[D-Pad_Chad]

No. She didn't really respect me during our marriage and I know it wouldn't change. I loved her, that pain will always be, but I've got to move on. Couple that with how different we became and yeah there is no getting back together. It didn't end poorly, but her leaving was a wake up call.

[abc3643]

I would and I wouldn't.
In my heart, I would.
But, she and I are too old. Neither of us is who we were - especially me. I am closer to death anyway so it is just best to leave things be.
It's like the ending of the episode "The Long Morrow" of "The Twilight Zone".

[sheikalana]

Hell no. I always thought our break up would be temporary until he did what he did to me. Since then I realized there's no turning back and I don't want him in my life even though I still have feelings for him. I've also been struggling with forgiving him the amount of emotionally trauma he put me through and the amount of pain and anger are very hard to forgive and forget.

[libsaretards]

Depends on the ex.

My first ex, absolutely, but only if she can actually be her own self and not be influenced by her stupid ass stepfather.

I would rather EAT the cactus than try again with my 2nd ex. Even better if I could stuff the cactus down her throat, make her eat a Carolina Reaper, wash it down with battery acid and then curse her with a week of non-stop diarrhea.

[snackthatsmilesback]

If I was single I might actually say yes. Lol that's scary to think about. Well maybe she changed tho, that's fair I definitely have. Not a whole lot but in the spots that seem to count. Maybe that wouldn't be such a bad thing eh, but I'd still way rather keep my husband than risk her again.

[SolitarySolace]

Hell no. I went to a college in your area to be closer to you while we were together when both my parents advised against it and I still went and you cheated on me. Twice! Because I gave you a second chance… now I don’t do second chances and have remained single for almost 8 years now.

[Iron_Man]

It’s been to many years way too long. It’s over. I’ve got my soulmate now from Europe we talk every day I’ve known her for 17 months we talk every day and we’re meeting in person and she’s going to live with me hopefully soon. I met her on GAG

[Anonymous]

99% of the time hell no. There's one specific ex who I would give another chance to, but that's all bearing on whether or not she grew tf up. Plus I'm in a relationship rn anyway and I wouldn't give up the great relationship I have to try to rehash something that didn't work.

[Juxtapose]

No, she had her chances and I put up with a lot of emotional abuse already from her. She broke up with me and after that dated a buddy of mine who I was confiding with about how I felt concerning the breakup.. then they tried to be fucking sneaky about it.

Thank goodness that guy was just an acquaintance and not a real friend but damn, it was a wakeup call. Be careful with who you trust!

[dustybiker]

Depends how it ended. Some people choose a distant job over the person if the relationship is new. Which is a decent time to end it if they have to. If they met up again it’s worth a second try.

[BlueScorpio]

No, an ex is an ex for a reason plus it be kinda awkward since I'm married, he's gotta be like 40 now or something I don't know lol hopefully he found a nice lady.

[Vesuvius87]

Hells nope. My only reply towards him would be ''Give me back my money'' and whether he gives it back or not, it'll be followed by an ''Now you can get lost, get out of my life, OUT''.

[Vesuvius87]

If he then refuses to leave and tries hugging me or anything, this can go two ways:
- I'm calling security and police to have him escorted out
- I'm going Judo on him and escorting him out myself

[mermaidcancermoon]

One thing I dont do is look in the rearview whilst driving forward. I dont date exes. Maybe if its been 5-10years since seeing each other, but I dont date exes. Good terms or not.

[Dinklex3]

We didn't end on bad terms, lol.

We were just getting stationed on two opposite ends of the world from each other and I don't do long distance.

I might if we were in the same area.
