bob1959otisfield, Maine USA54 Threads 3 Polls 1,874 PostsI don't get the chance. I figure when they tear up my lawn or cut my tires, there's not much chance of a second go around. I'm pretty honest and try to make a clean break, but they all hate me, except one that broke up with me. We still get along?

What the heck did you do to make them hate you so much? You´re such a nice guy.

Well now I can see I have not missed to much by being married most my life. Note to self just in case I date again price tires and sod. 
Now I am scared

Its those quiet ones you have to watch out for
I've known several couples that have divorced and remarried. none of the remarriages worked....
i let an ex come back once, after she said she was sorry and never should have left in the first place, she felt she was not ready the first time, well i was hooked line and sinkererd so to speakbecause i still cared for her. a month later we went on a prearanged trip she made before coming back,i did think about it, but i had not left the island in twenty two years,and it was good timing for my vacation.after two days of a ten day trip, i caught her talking on the phone to someone, and i heard her call a name i was familiar with,[[you can guess what happened i,m sure]] just to get to the point,came to find out she just wanted someone to go on the trip with her. so my answer would be, it depends on the motive of the person, we probably won,t know until it,s over again though. but i learned that once it,s over the first time, let it stay that way..i guess thats the chances you take when you don,t let go fast enough..good luck..
My ex girlfriend & ex wife are probably my two best friends so in that way it can work but as for a loving relationship i doubt very much it could .
CtheWorld2Gether: If this used to happen to you. How long was the break?
I met my first love when I was 15.
Long story...got back together when I was in my early 30s.
Didnt work. Got divorced when I was in my late 30s. Purely because the past came back to haunt me and I couldnt deal with certain things that had happened back then.
I dont think you can ever go back, personally.
I and my ex reunited almost 7 years after we first split up.
We had both moved on with our lives and matured. This brought a deeper romance to our new relationship, knowing each other well, knowing some of the trials and tribulations each had been through. Our relationship had more platonic bonds and affection than first time around. We are no longer together, having reached a point where we each knew that one or the other would be making sacrifices in our lives to make our situation more permanent, and knowing that not having to make sacrifices was a strength we both acknowledged and respected.
We remain very good friends, supportive of each others lives.
Re-uniting with my ex, albeit briefly, was one of the best, fully rounded relationships I've enjoyed.

Generally not a good idea, imo.
I'd rather blow my brains out than get back with my first ex

Ginny9264: No way, he was a bore in bed anyway.
I wonder what he'd say about your performance in bed.I simply have no interest in past relationships, they are past for a reason and have no inclination of returning to them, good bad or indifferent.
i think nobody wants to hit their own head with a stone
Sorry it happened. I remarried my Ex and just dont! You might think all the bad stuff you had to deal with before won't happen again but sad to say it will. Maybe not today or a week from now but it will. By all means keep then as a friend because you liked them for a reason and that might still be there. I still have a relationship with my 3 ex's but i would never date or remarry any of them.
Good Luck!
Good Luck!

ok 3 strikes and it's out for you
NO, a thousand times NO....
JAN_is: It´s not as easy as that. If you´ve been married for a very long time, and the breakup wasn´t anything more traumatic than growing apart then you may want to try again, as I did.
As I said it worked for another year only, but no hard feelings on either part and we´re still friendly, that´s the important thing to achieve after a breakup I think.
thank you jan, i was going to express a similar point, as this has happened to my ex and i, and have had many regrets that we could have worked through it, the growing apart thing, we were together for 24 yrs.As I said it worked for another year only, but no hard feelings on either part and we´re still friendly, that´s the important thing to achieve after a breakup I think.

You´re welcome.
I thin k the fact you are asking this in a singles site where most of us here are not in a relationship will obviously bend the trend to a NO it dosen't work (or else they'd be together)
But whether it's because I'm a bit of a romatic, believe the best in people or just hate the word/idea of the impossible. I think it can - and does happen. My guess about a 1 in 20 chance of success though. Maybe if the mother-in-law died in between times?
Actually that is kinda serious the above. Sometimes the true reason for a failed relationship can be someone else who whispers in the ear of both parties to get them at each other. Could be a jelous outsider, family member whatever if that was gone and played a big part then yes. Or if one had a massive life changing epiphany and changed a lot.
If you think it's worth it (I asume you're thinking about it) then give it a go and good luck.

I would try again because I have heard of it working, you have to follow your heart.
I dont think it works most times no.But I think it is sometimes very necessary in order to be sure and move on.
