As I said, we dated for 6 years and broke up 2 years ago (she broke up with me). We haven't spoke since October 2019. After the breakup she blocked me on social and made her page private. I, soon thereafter, deleted my IG. Just wanted to get away from social media. Earlier this year I decided to get back on IG. Her page is public now as is mine. Anyways, fast forward to Monday, and I let my curiosity get the best of me. I looked at her profile and clicked on her IG story. I don't know what I was thinking in that moment, to be honest. I guess it was just curiosity. Anyways, an hour later, she followed me and liked one of my photos. I decided to follow her back. It too…

We both were in a very healthy long distance relationship but all of a sudden my girl friend broke up with me. She is a divorcee and currently preparing for judicial magistrate examination. I was supportive too but I just wanted some time to talk to her. We have planned our future together, we discussed about the situations may occur marrying a divorcee woman and I am ready to face any challenges just because I love her very much. I know she has gone through a lot or still going through alot. But my one mistake has ruiend our relationship. Now she broke up with me stating her focus is now only on her career. Its been more than a month she is ghosting me. She blocked me ev…

New to this forum but have actually read quite a lot on the ex back and NC topics. Long story very short... 6-year relationship, she's 19 years younger... call me a cradle-snatcher, but we really understood each other for most of those 6 years. Lived together for 2 years. I should have seen it coming as all the signs were there and she actually tried to tell me many times - only I didn’t (want to) hear it :-(. She moved away in March this year but we saw each other every couple of days and she’d spend at least one night of each week. 8 weeks ago she just called it quits. Was a very cold shower and total surprise. I was upset at first and didn’t talk to her for two d…

Fiance of 6 years dumped me about a week ago. My appetites just starting to come back but I keep waking up to panic attacks. We were pretty close and friends for a good while before we got together, the main conceit of our relationship though is that we were practically a continent apart. She had a job and was able to visit me twice during our relationship for about a week at a time. I'm so grateful I got to spend with her and truly appreciate everything she's ever done. When we were together like that I felt we were both truly happy; I'd trade it for the world. The other issue aside from the distance was my living situation and how my life was going. Durin…

Hi folks I've read a lot of "experts" advise to "be the best version of yourself" to make "an ex miss you." Just remember you can do all of the work and improve every single thing about yourself- but ask yourself have they? If they haven't or even accepted any blame at all don't bother. Do it for yourself but not for them Imagine someone who has been manipulated in a relationship until the dumper became bored/got other interest and ended it. The Dumper fails in rebound/s as nobody else will put up with their controlling behavior. When no options are left. Then it's "Come back the Prince/Princess of Doormats all is forgiven!" The All New Improved Door…

We broke up almost a year ago. Was a hard break-up, we admitted that we still like each other and that we miss each other all the time, and we both have mentioned to each other that if we ever did talk about our relationship again - it's once we've moved on from the hurt, so I don't think it's a 100% final break up where you never want anything to do with them again. I think because I still to this day felt like we broke up over very odd things and he thought the grass was going to be greener. Sometimes the texts will stop and he'll find a way to contact me weeks or even months later and it's always about how he's sorry about how things ended and just our relationship in …

Ex and I have been in contact ever since we broke up, which was almost a year ago. The longest time we didn't speak for was almost 3 months, and then I finally reached out to him. We still like each other, miss each other all the time and care about each other too. We said somewhat recently that if we ever did reconsider our relationship again, it is once we have moved on from the hurt. Ex reached out to me a week ago apologising, this is not the only time he has apologised for his wrongdoing. I sort of mentioned that I have been seeing someone. At the end of the text, I told him that I miss certain things (intimacy etc) with him but understood for breaking up (I do not, …

I look on this forum a lot to see if there are any new stories about people getting back together with their ex's. I do it just so that I can have some hope, and I really hope someday I can post my story on here to give others confidence that having hope pays off. In the meantime, I am going to make a list of actual stories of people I know that broke up and got back together. Please post your stories here too and we can put a little bit of cheer into this forum. 1. My friend was dumped by his girlfriend of 4 years. They were broken up for a year and a half and he tried everything to get her back. One day he was with his friend talking about her and she called him righ…

My girlfriend of 4 years dumped me 5 weeks ago. When we met she had recently gotten out of a long relationship with a guy she was engaged with. He cheated on her and she dumped him. 3 months after dumping him she met me (I was probably a rebound). I fell in love with her after the first date and I pursued her relentlessly for 5 months until she finally told me that she loved me and we officially became a couple. After 7 months of dating we moved in together in a rented apartment. About a year after that we bought and apartment together, where we still live. She is kind, compassionate, adventerous, spontaneous and she never judges anyone. My family and friends a…

So last year my ex broke my heart cause he needed to work on himself. There were promises made by him which were broken. Recently this valentine's day he messaged me to reconnect. For a while it was talking every few days to now we talk every day. Our old relationship was amazing it felt just right and I got butterflies Everytime he held my hand. Now we're going on dates but I don't know how I feel. My best friend told me she can tell I have feelings for him again but I sometimes feel them and then sometimes I don't. He hurt me really badly and I don't know if I'm scared to open back up. I know when I thought he was mad at me I got sad or when I thought he blew me off fo…

After 5 years I met him again. Somehow that day I just felt, I knew I would. As I learned he’s been in a relationship for 2 years now. We have never really been together, I was too young and confused, he was serious and I could not deal with it. It was quite a hectic relationship, almost getting together, sthen saying goodbye, and it went on and on and on. Gosh I had my first kiss with him. It was over because of me but after all these years I learned he was really a man anyone could hope for. Sacrificing, caring, loving, all fun. After 5 years of experiences, boys, tears, laughs, nights with friends I just realized he was that special one all along… Karma showed me how I…

He deleted all of our pictures on social media which really triggered me. He wants the world to know I was never a part of his life. He made it clear that he doesn't plan on talking to other women/romantically getting involved with other people because he wants to work on himself(big reason he dumped me) but I'm afraid he is just saying that to avoid me being jealous. All I do all day is think about him and how much I love him. I'm dumb because in the process of him moving after he dumped me he was sleeping on my couch and we had sex 3 times in the past week of him leaving. I have major depression, C-PTSD, and generalized anxiety disorder along with suicidal tendencies an…

Out of general curiosity, has anyone actually had success with this? I understand the concept, it's to promote healing time, while you stay out of contact with your ex. But, has this ever worked for anyone, and successfully gotten their ex back? I don't plan to use it in that way, I'm just curious if it worked for anyone.

First of all its a long story and English is not my first language so sorry for any mistakes and please help me I am really confused and any advice would be appreciated. We were in a 2 year relationship and everything was going well before the covid lockdown. We used to fight and get into arguments but we never went to sleep without sorting it out. But we loved each other so much. We both had some bad habits like I was short-tempered and sometimes said hurtful things to her and she never shared her feelings or the things which were bothering her with me much, I had to ask her several times to know what has happened. Fast forward we had a fight in January 2021 because…

Usually not one to commit to someone very deeply and quickly, but met my ex and I were together for almost a year. I had concerns, so did he. But his were obviously bigger. Things were getting bad and I tried to end things over text. Anyway, he eventually broke up with me in November 20. Was obviously heart broken, sent him lots of texts to which he kindly attended to most of the time. I didn't talk to him for a few months, I sort of got in contact again. Anyway, since then we obviously still care/like each other and miss each other as much, this is what we have told each other at least. We've spoken on the phone for an hour a few times since the break up which was nice. …

So long story. So my girlfriend and I have known each other for 3 months and have been together for a little over month. We worked together, which is how we met. When we first stated dating things were great, but things quickly took a turn after only a couple of weeks. My girlfriend has had a lot of bad relationship history and is the jealous type. Which is the thing we fought about most at work. I eventually quit after realizing that if I wanted us to work I had to go somewhere. I thought is having time apart will do us some good. And things were good again however my girlfriend mood swings eventually got in the way. Things didn’t get better, she made me feel under appre…

I'll try to include as many details as possible: I've been with this girl for 9 years and we now have a 5 year old daughter together. We've lived together for about 8 of the 9 years we were together. She broke up with me for the 2nd time ( for the same reasons) about 3 weeks ago because of our living situation. We lived in a very toxic house with toxic house mates that caused every ounce of stress and depression in our lives and in turn that caused many arguments and reclusiveness along with anxiety and a whole list of other problems. We were stuck in that house for 5 years due to financial struggles and high cost of living. We finally moved out into our own place ev…

So, 42M / 38 F. Married for 8 years, 2 kids. Nasty divorce started 2 years ago, just finalized due to covid. About 2-3 weeks before it was finalized we were chatting about moving out of state and how we'd have to do it simultaneous, as she cant live 800 miles away w the kids. That convo morphed into living together in the new city which we agreed upon for our kids. (I am the sole breadwinner and itd be difficult two float to households for me) And a couple days later I threw out the idea we should probably do it here before moving 800 miles away at my current home as if it goes south it'd be easier to deal with her vs in a new city. Things werent great between us for a …

I've posted a few times: Ex and I dated for a year and we broke up almost 6 months ago. When he did, he expressed a lot of doubt and still does to this day. He cried too when we broke up. He was initiating a lot of contact recently, wanting to see me and clear the air but I declined. I ended up responding to one of his messages once and for all about 2 months later. He replied to what I said and then said it has 'been very difficult from his end. He felt it was the most appropriate thing was to break up, which has been really hard and he misses me all the time. But what's the alternative? He then went on to say that it's really difficult but he tries to leave…

So long story short, i have always been a picky dater. I am 35 now. For whatever reason, i was find a flaw in a girl, and then use that my reasoning to get out of relationship. That being said, i started dating a girl Late 2019. Everything was great until the pandemic hit. I was finally ready to settle down and knew that she wanted a family and kids, and knew she was the one. A little background about her though, she had just gotten out of a horrible relationship in which her ex gradually became addicted to drugs and became pretty much a pyscho. She even admitted she had trust issues. But to me, trust issues are not an issue unless the guy gives a reason for her not to tr…

My gf and I broke up just a few days ago after nearly a 2 year relationship. We ended on really good terms and agreed to stay good friends and perhaps even get back together if it feels right in the future. For context on why we broke up, we pretty much both felt that we had lost our spark and kind of felt like we had become more like best friends than a couple so we figured we each needed some time alone. However, the past couple days for me have been terrible, I can't stop thinking about messaging her or getting her back and I barely have any motivation to do the things I love despite the fact that we ended on such good terms. I really do feel that if we got back togeth…

My most recent ex and I broke up and we wanted to see if things could work out in the future, after we both heal. We called this our agreement. I have my own personal trauma from being cheated on before dating my most recent ex, and it caused a lot of insecurities for me. Unfortunately, i became friends with a guy named G that was in my class after my break up with most recent ex. Coincidentally, gossipy guy is friends with one of my ex’s friends, S. S has always been super flirty with ex, but he never made a move for her, and they were friends long before I knew ex. The first thing G said to me when I met him for the first time was how much he heard about my relationship…

Hello All, First time poster here. I've been in an on-again-off-again relationship for a little under two years. It was an extremely unconventional relationship which vacillated between physical and non-physical intimacy but was always very, very close. We have been each other's rocks and companions since we knew one another. We secretly loved one another but never said it aloud. Recently, we made a major breakthrough where she admitted she loved me, which was something she hadn't done since we met. I do not doubt my love for her and I told her how I feel too. However, there are some serious complications that happened prior to this that make the decision to be…

I met this girl in October 2019 and we had an amazing relationship through to september 2020 when we went through a tough period where we both didn't communicate effectively and this caused her to end things, however within 3 weeks we rekindled our relationship and i spent every weekend of October at her house and we re-bonded and felt strong as ever going into another national lockdown in the UK, with each of us in different cities. We messaged daily and spent a day a week as date night to do something or watch a movie together, we even spent time together around christmas. We exchanged presents for birthdays, christmas and valentines day. After restrictions lifted …
