A lot of people get back with exs after some time. Sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't. It's a risk you take in love. I believe that love is a risk in itself. If you're good friends, ask yourself if you want to spoil your friendship if the relationship doesn't work out. It could happen. Maybe your first break-up wasn't too bad, but the second (if it should happen) could be really bad. How much do you value the person? If you're thinking about getting back together, really, really talk about what you both want out of the relationship and what you expect from each other. If you have any disagreements or qualms about any of what is said in that conversation, I'd say forgo the plunge. Remain good friends and let bygones be bygones.
Good luck!

I think once you've decided to move on, you should just do it. There must have been a pretty good reason why you broke up in the first place. People can change, but I think the big flaws always stay, even if they're just under the surface.

well i got back with an ex numerous times we stayed friends and occasionally went out together iwas with him seven years in all and then he started cheating on me.i think if you get back together try it once after that i think it's just a waste of time if u were good enough together it will work the second time.remember the floors which u didn't like will eventually show even if he has changed.

My husband and I dated and broke up several times for various reasons before we got married. Of, course, we were always friends. The break-ups never had anything to do with cheating. We've been married 8 years now and no complaints

i know lots of couples who split and then got back together and are very happy now. i guess it depends on why you split up in the first place. you already know a lot about your ex so you could pick up where you left off if you can get over whatever made it end first time round

Um...i'm not sure, they're usually exes for a reason. Unless both of you can get over what made you break up in the first place then i'd say no.

My fiance' and I dated several years ago and split up over a really stupid mistake. So stupid I am not going to mention it.
We saw each other at a party about a year ago and now we are going to get married in June.

My husband and I were married for about a year, both of us way too young. We divorced and went our ways, but kept in touch with no more than a birthday and christmas card. After about 5 years, he called me up. We met, had dinner and remarried after a year. Have been married for 15 years and love him more than ever.

It is worth considering. But go through what has changed since you broke up to make it successful this time around?

it can be really confusing but when you date someone and you guys break up and then get back together its not going to be as much fun as it used to be or maybe wont even matter to you because the feelings you had aint there no more like they used to. but i dont know about your side try it and see where it goes.
