Hi all,

I just got back with an ex of three years previous today, if you can understand what i mean, we get on very well at times and not so good other times, Thing is, i am not so sure if i done the right thing, i guess i was just fed up with being on my own. she can be more of a taker then a giver, seems the more i give the less i get.

Very confused.

Any words of wisdom?

try the old chestnut of writing a list of pros and cons- what were the reasons for the split before?? have those reasons changed? or are they something that you/she could live with now? if not, then i fear they will begin to be important again and you will split again. good luck anyway

I agree. If nothing has changed it may not work out.

But if you have both matured a bit and can work through things better then you never know. Wish you luck whichever way things turn out.

Thank you both for that, i can tell you now, there wont be as much mr nice guy, but we will see how things go, in the main there is more good then bad times. I suspect things will be good when she knows i wont be as much of a push over as i was.

Bro i dont think thats such a good idea.. ok maybe u got a bit lonely and fed up with this whole online thingy and it being awkwardly difficult to click but take my advice if you can fill your life up with many things to keep you occupied then u wont be bored and in desperate measures of gettin back with an ex.. your a better bloke than you think and if shes more of a taker then she simply doesnt value or appreciate you! trust me on this one deisy, tell her you made a mistake, sorry and bye bye and save yourself for the type of girl that feels lucky to have you!!

i think you should realise your a great guy , and she should be VERY happy to have a guy like you in her life ... if she doesn't appreciate you for who you are .. dump her on the spot .. and do it with style .. sit down with her .. tell her we need a chat , about her about your feelings on the subject .. ok your a nice guy but getting walk isn,t for you ... you deserve better than that !!!

Talk about negative thinking.

My brother had been going out with his girlfriend for two years when they broke up. Then, 3 years later, they met by chance.

They have been very happily married for 32 years.

Well maybe she has changed - grown up a bit in the last 3 years, you are a lovely guy and shouldnt sell yourself short. If you think you have made a mistake tell her now before you both get too involved as boredom is not a valid reason to begin a relationship with someone, otherwise go with it and see how things go and if she starts to return to her old habits then end it.

Thanks LL,

I am going to see how things go for the minute, but the slightest indication of things going down hill, i'm out of their.

Thanks for all that, "I LOVE YOU ALL"

EEH kick ex between the legs to see if it's got nuts. If it's got nuts then the behavior is totally normal.

The highlighted sentence plus the name of the thread 'I must be mad' to me speaks volumes. I think you need to look at the reasons you started the thread, usually we know the answers to these questions ourselves.

Just take one day at a time, and if you are not getting what you want, try asking??

keep talking all the time, the good bits, the bad bits,

Thanks for last night, I really like it when you .............. I loved ..... can we do ........ again.

talk constantly about everything, even just the stuff in your head and most of all remember suffering is optional so if its still crap - leave gracefully and with dignity.

Hate to be the devil here, but I wonder what she would think/feel if she saw this thread...

Maybe her answer to the title of the thread would be, 'No I am the mad one' or this is not a good foundation stone to build on????

But good luck to you both....

I believe that if your closing the door.....shut it behind you. I only ignored this principle once which resulted in marriage then divorce. if you weigh it up and there's more negative, you know yourself what to do although you will probably try to find logical reasoning to do otherwise.
