That said...I've gotten back together with an ex "successfully" before. I was in love with this guy, we had been dating for a short amount of time but it was very intense and real. I broke up with him because I needed to focus on school and so did he. It was extremely hard to do but I saw both of us losing eachother in this relationship. 6 months later, I went to a show, sat down at a table and my ex comes waltzing in. He looked amazing. The fire was immediately rekindled. I don't even think we had a conversation, we just eased back into it. He had been with other people, so had I but we didn't dwell on it. Unfortunately while we were apart he had applied to transfer to Michigan. It was very hard to say goodbye but I'm glad I got a little more time with him and I certainly don't regret it.

This thread has really given me hope through my last breakup. I hope something gives with him, I would love to try again. Almost every one of my exes has tried to make their way back into my life in some capacity. Here's the thing, though-for those of you considering PLEASE think long and hard about it. Trust me I NEVER saw this dude coming back. Horrible breakup. My ex ex and I were together for about a year, give or take. He was VERY emotionally abusive. I was devastated...I groveled, I cried, I begged, I pleaded for months. I would tell him I wanted to be friends, turn around and freak out at him. I lost over 30 pounds (A scary amount for my size) It was a nightmare. Finally I started to resent him enough to cut ties. It took a few months. I went on a few dates, nothing special and dated someone for a little bit-also nothing serious. Just when I was getting back on my feet again, along came douchebag. He was apologetic, showed up at work with my favorite things, said all the right things. Well we caught up and I found out he slept with one of my best friends and I STILL took him back. I hated him but for some reason I let him back in. I think it was a power move. Low and behold, dude vanishes out of nowhere again and who ended up hurt? Me. Just be careful and make sure youre taking someone back for the right reasons. One thing I've learned about breakups is you've gotta watch out for yourself over anyone else at this time.
