Asked Jun 2, 2009, 08:45 AM — 15 Answers
Ok, I know its unlikely and I know I need to move on and not hold on to hope. I will. But I want to hear from people who have gotten back together with an ex. What compelled him/her to come back to you?

SO far, the only one I know that has worked is Eura. No one else I know has gotten back together and had it work out

What compelled me to get back with my ex years ago, quite honestly was that I was scared I'd be alone. We were back together for a very short period of time before we realized that nothing had changed. We never did solve the problems that caused us to break up from the beginning. So that's how I learned that getting back with an ex is generally a silly idea.

Got back together with an ex, yes, worked out, no.

I'm the one that went back, and it was the worst mistake I ever made. I broke up with him for a reason, but I thought I should give it another shot because we'd been together for almost 2 years.

The second go around ended with him beating me to a pulp, kicking and denting my car and then calling me the next day to tell me he loves me. Yeah, not going to happen.

They're you ex for a reason.

I got back with an ex from HS, numerous times. Each time same result, but I was a champ, I kept hanging in there thinking it was true love or some bullshoot.

Very interesting stories. So it seems that its doesn't work very often. In my case, we broke up because my girlfriend loved me, but was not in love with me. She cries everyday right now. I am sure its partly guilt, but she also just misses me. I am hoping that the distance apart may make her realize that he is actually in love with me, but don't worry, I am not holding my breath.

Take it from me.. It won't work.. I was with my ex for 7 years. She cheated on my once at our 2 year mark. We worked past it, and 5 years down.. Same thing... Just walk away when it is still easy. I invested 5 more years of my life, and I am kicking myself right now.

I got back with an ex... Thought it was kismet and everything. High School Sweethearts reunited... After 6 and a half years. Took about two years following the reunion for me to catch him cheating and to know that sometime while one changes for the better, the other changes for the worst.

I learned I will always love him, but that doesn't mean I should be with him.

I got back with an x several times as well. I dumped him and went back twice... Big mistake... He is litteraly crazy and he just kept on getting crazier and crazier and it was a big mistake.

The first time I went back I didn't want to be alone. The second time I was in a horrible situation and made a bad choice that seemed like a good one at the time.

Like some of the others have said: your x (x's) is your x for a reason. Sometimes its hard to see that when some time has passed.... The bad things fade, the good sticks out as amazing... Whatever the reason....

It usually doesn't work out.
