ok some more stories:
1. a close female friend of mine had a relationship with a co-worker for about 3 months. They broke up because the guy cheated on her. Four years later (LC) they reconnected and are now together.
2. another close friend of mine went out with her boyfriend for about a year. They broke up for 2 years with them dating other people but still communicating with each other. They reconnected after 2 years and are now married to each other.
It does happen but just as there are many getting back together stories, there are equally more not getting back together stories. ;p
