Has anyone who’s been a back burner ever successfully got back with their ex into a more solid relationship?

Some research suggests it can make couples stronger. Others would argue otherwise dependent on the situation.

What have your experiences been, whether you’ve been on the back burner or kept someone there (sometimes unintentionally)?

I never go back to exes. I am friends with most of them, though.

Can you explain further as to why not…

You wouldn't have left him unless you had the new guy already. If he were to come back with you putting him on back burner, then you'd disrespect him even more. You instinctually already know this I bet. So why being him back? Because current guy is fun and dumped guy your financier?

Let's hope he sees you for who you already know you are, a broken, damaged individual.

1. So clearly this has happened to you.
2. You’ve no idea what I’d do since you know nothing about me.
3. Your life is going to continually suck with that kind of attitude.

Look up ‘psychological projection’. You’re welcome.
