Going Back To Ex After 10 Year Breakup

[Rick04]

So my ex was the dumper and we have been in limited contact for the past year. She initiates 70% of the contact. Back in late July she asked me if I think we could rekindle things and relive old times. I told her I'd think about it.

 

Well here we are in 1st week of September and I am beginning to think going back to my ex is the right move. I really don't have anything to lose. Why? Because I have no goals to get married or any full time live in relationship. Therefore it shouldn't matter if she's coming back to me only because she is lonely. I am comfortable with her and at least I know what I'm getting with her.

 

Before the 10 year breakup we dated for 4 years. It was an on again off again relationship. She broke up with me 5 times back then. The breakups would last on average 1 month and then we'd be back together for another 12-14 months before another breakup.

 

I fully realize based on our history that she is likely to break up with me again if I take her back. Based on the pattern it may continue to be an on again off again relationship indefintely. I think I'm ready to go for that ride again.

 

What other alternative do I have? I've lost hope that any other woman is going to want me and even if they did I have no desire to commit to any of them. I had 1 girlfriend after my ex. That lasted 3 years and she was the dumper too because I didn't want to commit to her by moving in together and she wanted children.

 

So now I realize I belong with my ex.
