My ex-boyfriend wants to get back together. We lived together for a year and a half and he split. Has anyone ever gotten back with their ex and did it work out?





Not a serious ex, and it was just for a good romp--but my mom married her high school sweetheart after many years apart, and they were very happy.

no.. too many past mistakes made it impossible for him to forgive and forget everything... there was way too much damage done between the two of us.. no matter how much you love someone and all the good times you had together, sometimes you have to listen to your heart and do the right thing.. i know i did, and when i least expected i met a great guy... if you think you and him can patch things up and you know this is the man of your dreams, someone who can provide stability in your life, then try to work it out... if not, then you need to start fresh, maintain a positive outlook on life, and go on..
I have been dating my former ex for two years now. We dated for almost two years, lived together for 1 yr of that time and I left him for someone else. After about 1 1/2 years, I finally got him to take me back and trust me again. It will be two years next month that we've officially been back together and I am soooo happy and grateful that he trusted me again. I mean, I really screwed him over BIG TIME when I left him before, and I will never do that to him (or anyone) again.

Oh and my mom and dad broke up for a year or so before getting back together and getting married a few years later. (They were also hs sweethearts).

He's an EX for a reason.





Did twice. Learned my lesson. I dunno. I cant say how yer ex is... dunno the ex. I know mine taught me that they were ex's for a reason. I guess you need to think about why they're an ex and how/if that can change if you get back together.

I got back together with an ex a long time ago. After we broke up, I was so depressed because he was such a great guy and we had such a great relationship.
Then, we got back together and I remembered all of the things that I couldn't stand about him and how he had absolutely no ambition to be/do anything in life.
So, I left again.
And, I've never made that mistake again.![]()
I have a knack for going back with my ex's. At this point i am just friends with them all!!!![]()

Yes. Again and again and again... How long has it been? If you're over him DONT DO IT! You'll only get attached again... and have the same damn problems. I'm currently going through this myself... AGAIN! (hits self)

I got back together with my ex this summer and it was the worst decsion I have ever made in my life. Things are way worse the second time around in my opinion. Think long and hard before you do it.

i was just gonna say something along those lines... i went through hell and back last summer with my ex.... i look back and see how stupid i was then.... i have truly seen the light.... i didn't take anyone's advice... glad this guy is out of the picture....Originally Posted by Magdalena_666
Never EVER go backwards. There is more than enough people out there and oppertunities than to explore one you've already been down. I'm not saying he's a bad person or he doesn't deserve it, just,
Well for me,
When a relationship is at a monogamous point and that is removed, going back is not an option not because she doesn't deserve it but because someone else deserves a chance too :/
People are not ruled by their memories.
depends on the senario i think.
i went back once, we only were together the first time for 2 months,he cheated, we broke up, then a few months later he came grovelling back. i said yes, and a week later i asked him if it was serious, if it wasnt i was leaving for good. he wasnt sure, so i went out that night and met my current partner, and havent looked back since.
i think everyone deserves a second chance depending on circumstance (he didnt deserve it tho, i dunno what i was thinking!) but be realistic when you go back into the relationship. have your expectations already planned, and set a time frame, if its not how you want it by a certain time, let it go for good.
Did it not once, but three times TO THE SAME GUY. I guess it was because he was my first love, first sex, a lot of firsts, and it hurt like hell to let him go. But I realized it just wasn't going to work the third time around. I'll always love him, but he's been with one girl for almost 3 years now, and I'm marriedWe make it a point to not be too involved in each other's lives (when we do we fall into a lapse of love/lust) but we keep in touch and see each other once in a while

My guy and I were together for a year (lived together 8 months). I then left him wanting to "date" I came groveling back (kinda) almost a year later. Weve been back together (and living together) since November. In life shit happens. Where cheatings concerned I say no way but otherwise why not?
Yep... he'd been my best friend since I was 12, dated for two years, and decided I wasn't in love with him. I decided to try again and all I ended up doing was losing the best, sweetest friend I've ever had and breaking his heart.
the longest break up I had was 8 months... we had been living together and the whole thing was SUCH a mess.... I honestly never EVER thought we would ever get back together, but we did, and we're VERY happily married now! We have our ups and downs, but thats what marriage is about, and i have never ever regretted getting back together with him(not counting those 8 months, we've been together for more than 7 years now)
I think the key is how it ended and was it a good relationship to start. Chances are old patterns will reappear once you get comfortable again. How it was before will dictate wheter it is FTW or FTL.
damn, this sounds like my ex I just split from. I keep thinking about all the good things about him but then I remind myself that there IS a reason why I've broken up with him and that the reasons were obvious for a long time and I just didn't want to admit they were true. And no, I haven't gotten back together with him! We are still friends though.I got back together with an ex a long time ago. After we broke up, I was so depressed because he was such a great guy and we had such a great relationship.Then, we got back together and I remembered all of the things that I couldn't stand about him and how he had absolutely no ambition to be/do anything in life.
