I have known quite a few relationships which ended and got a second chance, but I will share the two that ended up getting married: 1st: My sister and her now husband dated on an off since she was a freshman and he was a senior in high school. The break ups tended to be short lived and stupid when they were young but the most serious one came when she was a sophmore in college and he had graduated and was trying to figure out what he wanted to do with his life. My sister has told me that she knows he left her to date another girl and because of this she told him that she couldn't be in contact with him for a while. I believe it was around 9 months later that they got back into contact (he initiated) and at this point she was completely moved on for herself. They began talking as friends and did so for a few more months until they decided to get back together. They have now been married for 8 years and have 3 kids. 2nd: This story I heard through my ex so I'm not clear on all the details but anyway this couple had dated for several years and then he cheated on her and they broke up. They went their separate ways, he served in the army for a few years, and somehow they found their way back and she was able to forgive him. They have been married for a little over a year now I believe. So it definitely does happen, but I'm not so sure about my situation. My girlfriend believed we were growing apart (I still don't see how but clearly there's something not right for her) but there is also another guy she has feelings for. The problem is she is not jumping into anything with him and is taking this time to just be single. I feel like her not dating means that she will properly heal and remove her feelings from our 2.5 year relationship and my chances will disappear. In a weird way I wish she jumped into something with this guy because I feel like rebound stories tend to come back more.
