All of my friends who are in relationships have broken up at one time or another. 5 of whom have been long term relationships 2-3+ years but they all seemed to work it out. Baring in mind im only coming up to 20 and I don't know maybe young relationships are just easier to get back on track.. Who knows! But theres been my best friend and her ex who is a couple years older than her at 23. they have broken up for longish times 4-5ish months twice but have just started spending time with each other again, so maybe they will make it 3rd time lucky. I holding out hope that I can start over with my ex. missing him so much.

Some advice needed. Im in a group of friends which includes my ex. I have not spoken to him for two weeks until tonight. Where he has invited me out tomorrow night for a meal for his birthday with everyone. Should i break no contact and go, just keep contact limited or not go at all? Its hard because i want to be able to be with my friends again and i dont want to make them feel like they should have to choose between us. Do you think in this situation its best to try and just be friends with him or should i continue with no contact?

A couple of my friends have broken up and got back together after being in long relationships 2-3years. I spoke to one of them after their breakup (it was him who broke up with her). He said he was doing alright and that he had been thinking about ending it for a while. but comes to a few weeks later and their back together. I dont know if they went though no contact in this time, but i guess he realised he missed her. Its been almost 2 weeks since my ex broke up with me. Im trying no contact for now, but its hard as were in the same group of friends and are going out for a meal for his birthday this weekend. Reading these stories has made me feel better about everything. Im going to give it time but hopefully this can happen for me to.
