Donburi Posted August 7, 2005 Share Posted August 7, 2005 Any stories of breaking up, staying friends with the ex, and then getting back together? I am currently being "friends" with my ex and have been for four months now. Just wondering if there were any miracle stories out there. Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites
Neptune Posted August 7, 2005 Share Posted August 7, 2005 I believe that once you have been in a relationship it is possible to get back together but when a relationship is forming and you get the "let`s just be friends" you are holding a bladeless knife with no handle.

Deborah Posted August 7, 2005 Share Posted August 7, 2005 Not really. The guy I broke up with 6 years ago and agreed to be friends with is still trying to get back together, but I was never interested in reconcilling. The guy who broke my heart 5 years ago, and who I practically begged for friendship, is still my 'friend' but whenever I asked him to meet up in the last couple of years, he is always suddenly very busy. So no, never worked out if getting back together was my goal. Better to stay away from them and let them see what they are missing. Link to post Share on other sites
CantDecide... Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 well my gf and i broke up 6 months ago, and i kept her around as a friend ( she dumped me), we were broken up for a mont hand a half. heres the trick thats never failed me with woman, if you want them back be there friend. then at some point find a reason to be mad at them, it has to acutally be a reason not just some bs. then dont call them for a few days or w/e and theyll come running. it doesnt always work. also depennding on the reason you broke up just be yourself. dont try to hard. be around but be distant at the same time. as of right now im broken up with her again, but im still her friend. im not sure whats up with us at the moment. but i know im going to diner 2 morrow with her and, the best advice i was given was that if she planned for it to be over completly she wouldnt be wasting her time still talking to you. i know thats not always the case but, yea sry got off topic there a bit.

dr strangelove Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 The first time I had a major break up with the ex, I didnt speak her for 6 weeks. Then she showed up at my shop. Then she called me late that night and she just kept calling. Even at 4 am. I tried to take her calls when I could, it was tough. I remember telling her to stop calling. I just tried to be around to take the calls or spend time hanging out with her when I could. I never asked her to come back. Until one day she had a major problem and I helped her fix it. It took trust on my part cause I had to pay for something for her on my credit card. She took me to dinner to thank me but before the dinner there was a movie. She got really cozy with me and she kind of took my hands and placed them on her. She had her legs on me. Then we ended up back at my place after the movie and dinner, and got physically intimate. So yes it did work. But this last time I guess we have just bickered too much, and I played some games. But when I get the chance again Ill try to be more friendly and postive I guess I wasnt ready yet. Maybe take sometime away. Doesnt help that you cheated, have you considered why u did that? have you thought about how to make it up to him? ciao Link to post Share on other sites
