Does getting back with the x ever work?

Just curious to get a few opinions and personal experiences with getting back with the ex? Do you learn anything new? I guess the real question is can anything good come out of it or is the relationship all ready doomed to fail again?

You Probably Don't Want To Hear Me Say This

As I've stated before in various posts, I think people break up for a reason. Unless BOTH parties involved are seriously committed to making the return a success, things are definitely doomed to fail again. But I think that holds true for whole other relationships as well.

The thing to consider most is why you want to be in a relationship at all, let alone with this person with whom you split in the first place. Is it loneliness? Because if that's the motivation, DO NOT get re-involved. Is it love for each other, but with some other conflict; something unresolved that would creep up again? That needs serious work from both you and your ex, as I said already.

Know thyself. Understand where you're coming from, and where your ex is coming from, and what the heck you want out of a relationship. Perhaps you just want to casually date. <shrug> I can't suggest what I don't know from that standpoint. But I do know that relationships are darn hard work, and although I have my own slew of failed ones, I hold firmly to the belief that mutual hard work is extremely well worth it.
