Did you go back out with your ex?

dvega

I was reading a few posts recently,on the personal and a couple more about getting back out with ex gf/bf's.

Anyway it kinda got me thinking,after i split up with my gf a nice while ago,
we said to each other we'll meet again someday,of course after all the pain and misery i got over it and never gave it another thought till now.I seen a lot
of posts about how couples split up but remained 'good friends' or 'sex buddies'.

It reminded me of a friend of mine who's gf split with him and after 8 months they were still texting and he said they were still good friends(this only happened recently).Anyway he convinced me that they were good friends and then one night him and i were having a good laugh and then i saw his ex with another bloke i didnt think anything of it until i saw his face,immeditaly he said he was going to the jacks and i did'nt see him again for the night.

I know he never text her again after that but i really did feel pity for him.
Anyway the question i wanna ask,did anybody go back out with their ex's,
i read somewhere that people that actually go back out with ex's usually end up getting married!

Just got me thinking....Strange...

It's rare, and I think we all live in hope. I did with one ex, but it was a case of "We're together, but we're not". So we'd go out as a Couple, do dinners, sleep together, but not go to each others houses, or introduce ourselves as a couple. Weird, and Head Wrecking.

No, never have...maybe never will. I prefer to lose contact with them.

I have done twice now, and both times have been a mistake ( 2 different x's)
.. For me I think the lesson is that you can only work so hard to make something work, after that you're just wasting your time.

Sully

Not really..

Dont think I ever would really!

Sparky

No I never do. It causes too much heartbreak in the first place and I wouldn't like to go through the same thing again with the same person.

Ruu_Old

Never have and never would, too many bad memories so I cut off contact, worked for me.

~nop~

Can't say I wouldn't like to in some cases though I have to say, though you're generally better off not. It's pretty awful anyway but you just tend to feel so comfortable with them and share so many memories that it seems a lot more appealing than all this starting anew stuff a lot of the time.

daiixi

Yes, but there was/is unfinished business in that relationship.

Raphael

I did, was broken up for about 4 months, but got back together with her. That was about a year and a half ago.

ditto lesson learned each time though

giddyup

I did....we're married 5 years now. Couldn't let her go.

Jamey

Been on and off with a girl now for over 7 months. We first broke up about 3 months ago and have been back together twice. It's off now. I've seen her with other lads and it really hurts. She still texts me and says she cant get over me and she loves me etc...i feel the same but I'm trying to fight getting back with her again so that I can move on but this time but it's proving real hard.

Black Swan

No!

I've been seeing an ex for a short while now, nothing too serious tbh, maybe it will be someday or maybe not but just taking it slow at the moment (she was an ex for a reason afterall). First time I've done it though and its going alright.

pantar_dubh

No way Jose!

_blank_

I've done it.

It was like an addiction I couldn't give up, then one night I just said 'feck this, I don't need this shyte' and broke off all contact.

Best thing I ever did tbh.

scojones

Had the chance to a couple of times, never bothered with it though. Not worth the hassle. I mean if you put yourself through the hassle of getting over someone, why get under them again? That's my moto.

mikedragon32

Normally it doesn't work.

I got back with an ex and now we're married.

You'll never know unless you go!

dvega

I think it really depends how and why ye broke up in the 1st place.

NeMiSiS

Only for sex.

cujimmy

I did. Met her again after 2 years and married her

Ste.phen

I did once, I don't recommend it.
Whatever the reason for breaking up in the first place is probably still there, if not more so.

hunnymonster

had a bit of an on-again-off-again thing a couple of years ago. tbh, it was more hassle than it was worth.

OLDYELLAR

Na never have and doubt I ever would , they be Ex`s for a reason as far as Im concerned.

Mrs_Doyle

I am going out with my ex right now, and have been doing so for nearly 3 years.
We originally hooked up in 2002, split in the summer and 2003, were apart for about 6 months, then we started dating again, and properly got back together early in 2004.

We broke up cos it was long distance, we both lived with our parents, didn't have cars, and were pretty young.
I am glad we split though.
In the time we were apart I had a girly holiday, and I was seeing a couple of lads, as well as enjoying the single life.
My boyfriend did similar.
Anyhow, by the time we hooked up again we had grown up, experienced life, and other partners, and knew for sure that we wanted to be with each other.

It genuinely worked for us, and please God we will be together for a long time to come!

irlirishkev

I've done it twice.

The first time was after a long termer, which ended reasonably amicably. Hadn't seen her in ages, but then bumped into her in a night club one night. Didn't even say hi, we just started snogging.

The other time was after a not-so-serious relationship, which also ended reasonably well. Walked her home after the pub one night and she hopped on me. I wasn't resisting though.

CathyMoran

Yes, as I said on the other post, will be married to him by this time next Friday I would not reccomend it but if you are meant to be together you will be, we have had some very horrific splits but in the end of the day we are best friends and we love one another, we both drive one another batty, we can hurt one another like no-one else but we work and we are totally in love and crazy about each other, no one else is as good as him and no one ever could be.

free2fly

Had an on-again-off-again relationship of 2 1/2 years once. It was total hell and I never do it again!

Nala

No. Went through too much **** after splitting with them to go near them again.

Nalz

Nope, more content with my daily dosage of cornflakes drenched in ice cold milk. Betta off IMO, x for a reason etc...

Civilian_Target

Yep - much the same as Daiixi, a breakup of circumstance, followed by a reunion of circumstance (and then another breakup of circumstance, doh!)

Lol, so much for that.

Remembered why exactly she was an ex, had a talk and we decided that it was best that it went no further. Oh well, new year, new start

I broke up with my girfriend and didnt see her for 10 years. We got back together again and are married now. So its true.... and Strange.;)

GreenHell

My tra la la attidute has lead to numerous occasions with one particular ex, its fun no one makes anything off it. All the other ex's can feck off though, goddamn psycho's

azezil

Depends how long we dated, for example there's some peeps out there who call me their 'ex', but i don't regard them as an 'ex' as I feel we weren't together long enough or it just didn't mean that much to me, so I can be friends with them... not someone I had strong feelings for though.
