Did your ex realise the grass wasn't greener?

[Aventra]

Did your ex admit missing you after dating someone else? Perhaps the date was poor or they found no-one quite like you to fill that void 

 

Let's be honest your ex will compare their new date with you. Maybe at first all will be sunshine and roses but I was wondering how often they start pining after you whilst pretending all is rainbows !

[Alpacalia]

Yes, and then my response was like "tough noogies."

I'd stop watering her lawn altogether.🥦🌿

[Fox Sake]

Are you still pining after an ex by any chance? I feel like you’re looking for someone’s experience that worked out like that.. blow that flame out bro. 

If you’re hoping she will come running back and things go back to being all rosey, then you should probably buy a lottery ticket at the same time! I hope you aren’t considering this , but if you are - find some self respect and value yourself. If you took her back after her dating around, you would look like such a pushover. The only comparisons they’re usually making against you is the things they didn’t like. 
 

Yes I’ve had an ex come back, usually years later and the answer is always no for going back. 
 

find someone new. The next one is almost always better than the last!

Not an ex but I certainly have!  I think it is pretty common actually.  When the noose isn't perched directly above your head or they realize the 'grass' is NOT greener out there after all, their ex can look a lot more attractive and appealing.  I believe that is where the saying "absence makes the heart grow fonder" originated from.   And why people have off and on relationships.

I've not experienced this with an ex.   And I've never ever regretted breaking up with someone.

Yes, every single guy I was ever with regrets it ending. 

I don’t care, once it’s over I never go backwards!

[TeddyBundy1993]

Yes one of my ex did she returned and we stayed together for next 11 months to separate again. Both of  my exes are happily married and one even have kids now. It depends on their next partner I believe.  But you know as you move on in life I have realized grass is greener doesn't matter as much after you've done with hate & anger you wish them good luck and move on with your life.

Main results

Times were tough love was not enough
So you said sorry Johnny I'm gone gone gone
You said my act was funny
But we both knew what was missing honey
So you let out on your own
Now that pretty form that you've got baby
Will make sure you get along
But you're gonna find out someday honey

When you're alone you're alone
When you're alone you're alone
When you're alone you're alone
When you're alone you ain't nothing but alone

Now I was young and pretty on the mean streets of the city
And I fought to make 'em my home
With just the shirt on my back I left and swore I'd never look back
And man I was gone gone gone
But there's things that'll knock you down you don't even see coming
And send you crawling like a baby back home
You're gonna find out that day sugar

When you're alone you're alone
When you're alone you're alone
When you're alone you're alone
When you're alone you ain't nothing but alone

I knew some day your runnin' would be through
And you'd think back on me and you
And your love would be strong
You'd forget all the bad and think only of all the laughs that we had
And you'd want to come home
Now it ain't hard feelings or nothin' sugar
That ain't what's got me singing this song
It's just nobody knows baby where love goes
But when it goes it's gone gone

When you're alone you're alone

I got really confused for a second because I thought the thread was under my username.. 😅

Yes. Exes have come back. I've went back before, never again! 

[elaine567]

The grass may be greener elsewhere, it may be brown and dried up, but the fact is they  usually just do not want to come back to your grass.

 

[basil67]

@elaine567 Very true.  I think the reason that I didn't ever go back was because the old grass was dried up and weedy.   Yes, it may take a few tries to find something really good, but that I didn't land on 'perfect' straight after doesn't mean that the old weedy grass was worth going back to.
