Search Results: getting over an ex

You were dating and it was great for awhile but then it started falling apart. You tried but you couldn't fix it and the end was inevitable: you broke up. You went no contact and you were depressed for awhile, and then you started "getting over it." Next, you heard from your ex and they wanted to meet for dinner "just to say hi!" or maybe you texted your ex and they responded right away, you got the idea maybe they wanted to see you, and you suggested getting together.

So. . . what happens when you see your ex and you have that conversation, like:

I missed you.
I missed you too!

I really wasn't mad, I was just sad that it didn't work.
Me, too.

I've thought that we should have tried harder and maybe. . .
Yeah, me, too!

Do you think that if we tried it again. . .

You know where that leads. You end up in bed that night and you try to pick up where you left off. Sometimes it works but, usually, it doesn't. And we KNOW that it probably won't work but we still try, we still need to prove to ourselves that it won't work (and having that sexual partner back in your life for awhile is certainly a motivating factor.)

So how did reuniting with an ex work out for you?
