Why did you get back with your ex?

[George9]

I've been wondering for a while. Why do people return back to their exes.

 

Would like to hear your personal stories.

 

Was it because ex changed? Did you hook up together after the new relationship didn't work or you have finally figured out that you're the best fit?

 

....and did being back together last for a long time?

I have never got back with my ex (well I have only one ex). But if I would want to get back with her (firstly if she wanted), it could be that she got more experience, changed a bit, and matured. you see my ex is very young, she has not experienced lot of relationships, so she is quite inmature about this. If she wanted to come back after few years, I might think about it, see if she is more mature than she was, if you really loved somebody there is still some part of it left.

 

Also depends what happend, I would probabaly never get back with ex if she cheated.

I got back with my ex after 1 1/2 years apart. He left me but I always knew that we would get back together because we just fit together and it made no sense for us to break up to begin with.

 

He left me for another woman and was with her for about 1 1/2 years. Then he just started showing up where I was and then we started hanging out again then getting back together.

 

We have been back together for over a year now and it's going well. Actually it is starting to be better than before. We are getting closer than we ever were and I am very happy.

Mine was because she would manipulate me. If I listened to her long enough she could always justify what she did. And I would buy it.

She would dump me. Then her current relationship wouldn't go so good so she would throw me a line-I didn't know how bad I need you till you weren't there,I felt at the time I wasn't good enough for you etc-you name it and she said it.

And she'd always raise the stakes-hey I want you to move in,heh we should get married etc.

and my gut would tell me no move on but I was soooo in love I would ignore it.

Until the last time. I was living with her and I just was sooooo miserable-almost like she had put me through so much that now I just didn't love her anymore-at least like I had.

So one day I just told her I can't do this anymore. And instead of allowing her to contact me I just blocked her. By doing that I didn't allow her any chance to worm her way back in.
