i have but it never works out. the first time you break up you have already lost that umph factor that made the relationship awesome to begin with. i find that when you breakup and then get back together every small issue is amplified.
word to the wise, whenever you choose to end something make sure its for good because in going back, the odds are against you.
Jillll: I have. I guess I'm one of the dumb ones. It's over for a reason.
No you are not dumb,it depends of situation and how strong emotion is. Some people dump and then bring back because they forgive,others because they didn't succeed with other persons.

been on both sides of this coin. i think unless there's real transparency, really honest communication and a whole lot of acceptance/non judgement...it's tough to get back to levels of vulnerability necessary for deep trust and intimacy.

Be nice if someone did a thread on this subject and had some well meaning participation.
Nope, once it's over, it's over for good. The thing that broke you up in the first place will more then likely happen again. People don't change and you shouldn't expect them to change. Love them for who they are the moment you meet them..
You all are stone-hearted, Maybe relationship broken down because of a funny and meaningless and easy reason? You will never take him/her back again because you had promised yourself before knew him/her? gone is gone? end is end? dumped is dumped?

I don't think most relationships break up because he never remembers to put the toilet seat down. It's usually something much more serious which doesn't improve after discussing it.

Hi, Please forgive me to ask , if you had known this habit of him while flirt time, would you have even so lived with him? or you had already known this before? because, some small things that we thought it would not have been problem, whereas by time, becomes a big problem. you met such situation?

I knew that he drank when we met but I was naive. I thought everyone could quit like I did. The outbursts of anger and laziness I didn't see until many years later.

Thirty three years ago my wife did something I could not reconcile myself with and I left her. Two years after the divorce she asked me for forgiveness and we gave it a new try. Another year later she did the same thing and I left for good. I’m friends with her today, but I could never trust her again.
I broke up w/my girl when i was 23 cuz i was pretty sure she liked another guy but took her back 2 or 3 months later after her relentlessly denying it all summer long........
idk.....1st girl i ever loved,felt sick w/out her,eveything reminded me of her,and for me the sun rose an set with her.....so i caved
we dont choose who we love,,,,love chooses us.....an i was a mess w/out her...its almost as if i had no say in it...if i didnt take her back it wouldn't of been fair to the next girl i dated cuz id still b weak for her,and if i didnt take her back an she started seeing someone else id might of never recovered from it.......i thought she was THE ONE and woulda killed 4 this girl if she had only asked.....
Its funny now looking back @ the things i did 4 her,the things i woulda did 4 her,the fights i got n 4 her,and how i thought the world would end with out her,an my surprise when it didnt end.........lifes funny like that......
Im not someone who believes in "second chances" If it got to the point of ending things then Ive exhausted every avenue at that point. I DID make that mistake with my ex-husband and it was miserable! It only served to confirm my original thought. I wont make that mistake again. Over is over.
When I'm in a relationship my intention is that I'm in it for the long haul. I try my best to work things out. I hang in there until I know for sure that things aren't changing. One person cannot make a relationship work. I don't/won't stay in a abusive situation, I split as soon as I see any signs of abusive behavior, physical or emotional.
I don't like drama, been there, done that. A healthy relationship is what we all want and I won't lower my standards. I'd rather be single because I don't need a man to complete me.
So my answer is no, I don't go backwards, I move forward.
After I've exhausted my efforts, I'm done. The longest rope has an end.
Yes. And some days I wish I hadn't, some days I am glad we are together...I don't know.... I just wish this migraine would get over so I can make sense of it all (two weeks of it today).
