Is there anyone out there that has broken up with their significant other and then has gotten back together with them and are still together now? I'm just wondering if there's hope to a relationship in which this happens.

we were together for 10 months....there weren't any problems, more that she isn't sure if she just loves me or is in love with me.

Well if one of us realizes this isn't what we want, then the break can be final...but i'm pretty sure i want to continue the relationship, she on the other hand isn't sure about her feelings...

If my girlfriend and I are taking a break, not that we want to be with other people, but more to make sure if this is what we really want....is our relationship doomed? There's the idea that if you are in love with someone you know it from the start and there should never be any doubts... So is this a bad thing that we're doing this?

I know that people say that they just KNOW when they are in love. Can you learn to love someone while being in a relationship with someone? Or maybe if it was there and then it faded, can it come back? Or is it that if you don't feel it right away, it isn't there and won't ever be there.

She says she loves me, she says she cares about, she says there's nothing should would want more in a boyfriend, she says i'm her closest friend, she says she's physically attracted to me, and she says she loves spending time with me. Yet, she doesn't think we should be together anymore because she once was in love so she knows how that feels, and and she doesn't feel like she's in love with me? There's gotta be more to that isn't there? Or is it that simple? Because for me I can't see what more in a relationship you can have.

At first we were going to take time off with little contact, but what ended up happening was that since we are in alot of the same places at the same time, we ended up talking or she'll come over for a hug or we just tell each other something if anything came to our minds...or whatever else. So I decided that it'd be better that we do the no contact thing and really see where our feeligns and emotions lie. Then in a while we can see where we stand. It's going to be rough, but I think this may be the only way to do that. Thanks everyone for your advice.

i'm in a relationship with someone who i can say is my closest friend, someone who i love being around, and am very physically attracted to, not to mention the sex is great. The only thing I lack is that I don't get the feeling that I see people madly in love have. I don't think about him everytime before i go to sleep nor do i think about him all throughout the day. And sometimes the romantic side of me has trouble coming out with him. It's been 10 months and I thought that since the feeling of true true love hasnt come around that I should just put an end to it now because I don't want to hurt him in the long run. But am I making a mistake? Is there a chance that our love could develop? I always thought of love as an instant feeling...something you just know, not something that develops. But I don't want to miss the chance of an amazing relationship if it CAN grow into something more.

A little background on my relationship. This girl has had only 1 serious relationship for 3 years before me. We became friends while she was with him and during that time she realized she didn't love him and broke up with him to be with me. The problem is that we rushed into a serious relationship from just being good friends as opposed to taking it step by step and gradually. Now we have been in this relationship for 10 months now, and my girlfriend has told me that her feelings aren't there anymore. She says she loves me but is not in love with me. We initially broke up, but after talking we realized some things. We realized we still cared a lot about each other and that we still had affection towards each other, but she still thinks not love. So instead of breaking things off completely, we decided to take a break, without really any real contact for a couple weeks or so, and after that, if the affection was still there we'd try again, but this time we'll take it slow. Is there any chance that this relationship could work? Does the fact that we are close friends help the situation? Or is it doomed because we already did the serious relationship and it didn't work? I'm hoping that we just weren't ready, and we ran before we even crawled. I was just wondering what people thought about this. Thanks.
