Getting an Ex Back

Regretting the Decision to Break Up With Someone

Is there anything you can do when you end your relationship and then change your mind?


The subject of getting an ex back seems to be a popular one. I’ve received a few emails from people lately with this subject on their mind, and heard from another single through our dating discussion board. Personally, I’ve never been successful in re-starting a relationship. The one or two times that an ex and I have decided to give it a go again, the same type of problems seemed to exist in our relationship as before.

I mean, if someone has cheated on you or abused you – they definitely need to go! But I think it’s those relationships that aren’t quite as cut and dry that seem to pose the biggest doubt after you end them. The ones where you two just couldn’t get your schedules together, or never seemed to be on the same page with family issues or talk of commitment. Perhaps after you broke up with someone, you realized you were the one with the maturity problems, and now you think if you could just get back together, you’d be able to make things better.

Sometimes, getting back together with your ex works out. Most times, not so much. When you’re with “the one,” even when you think you’ve wrecked the relationship, you haven’t. You stay together and solidify your bond, no matter what. All in all, I think if you are meant to be with someone, you will.
