Have you ever gotten back together with an ex and had the relationship work?

Or did it fail again?

Should you have just stayed apart to begin with?

    You will be surprised but on the contrary such relationships work. Its really true. When you part due to some petty differences and the loneliness that you suffer, makes you think back on the pros and cons of the relationship that you were in. You recollect all the beautiful memories you had spent together as well as the few bad ones. And if you feel a sort of uneasiness in you that says...you shud be both together rather than pondering over by staying aprt..make the first move....get together and make it work. A little distance acts as an adhesive to glue u both together for a lifetime.. All the best.

    Yes, I did get back together with an ex. We were having problems and we split up. 9 months later we got back together, and have been together for the last 12 years (almost 13) years. Not saying we didn't have problems, but we learned to work together to work them out.

    My last husband we had a on and off relationship for 13 yrs. I think we would of been happier if we had gotten married in the first yr of dating. He went to college and ended up cheating on me. Probably still would of happened even if we had gotten married earlier.

    I did get a beautiful daughter out of it though, and we are friends most of the time.

    People change as they get older. no two couples are alike. Good Luck.

    I remember trying to get an old girlfriend back, It took me over a month ! And after getting back together, It took less than a week to realize why I left her in the first place !

    Yes after five years, we were different people. She grew up the most. She was 6 mo. older then I. But she acted half our age.

    We were together for another 2 years. We are still real good friends...

    Yes. My current b/f and I had a fight ummm about four months back now I think, was a pretty bad blow out and it took a lot of time and effort to fix things but we're basically there and I think it has been worth it

    sweetie, I'm not just saying this because it happened to me, but I don't know of anyone who has got back with their ex and it work. There is usually to much polluted water under the bridge to actually work things out the way they should be.

  • Yes. We are working on our relationship now and it is going great. If you two are on the same level, then anything is possible. Be strong and show them what love is about. It can work if both of you are serious.

    I think u right, It's never work not for me, coz when the break up happen that mean there is already misunderstanding between the couple , so what is change to make it work now ,nothing. there are the same persons.
