kat27 Posted November 15, 2011 Posted November 15, 2011 Have you ever gotten back together with a short term ex, or had the opportunity to? How long did you date? Why did you break up? Did you go NC? Did you get back together? Who was the dumper? My STR's: 1) Dated three months. Broke up because he "wasn't attracted to me anymore." I went NC for myself only, didn't want to get back together with him. He never contacted me. Haven't spoken since, don't have any interest. 2) Dated three months. Broke up because he "didn't want a relationship." I went NC never expected to hear from him again. He contacted me three months later, and basically every three to four months after that. I briefly thought about trying to explore the option after I'd broken up with someone else, we were going to get together, he sort of stood me up, I just went NC without saying anything because I didn't care all that much. He contacted me three months later, we had an argument. I imagine there will be more to this story in the future even though we dated years ago. 3) Friends for two years, dated three months. I dumped him because he was a horribly unfair fighter and kept pressuring me about getting married/taking the relationship way more seriously than I was ready to. He contacted me multiple times immediately afterwards, including a really long voicemail on Valentine's Day. Eventually I had to tell him to stop calling me and yelled at him. Haven't talked since. 4) Dated two/three months. I broke up with him because I discovered he was hiding that he had a suspended license from multiple DUIs and I suspected he was an alcoholic. He contacted me a month or two later trying to get back together. I told him no. 5) Dated four months. He broke up with me, I can't remember the reason he gave, but the bottom line was he just wasn't that into me. During the breakup claimed to want to be friends, I told him I didn't want to be friends and didn't want anything to do with him (which was true because I was so angry because he really led me on). Haven't spoken to him since, and don't care to. 6) Dated two months. He broke up with me because "he really liked spending time with me, was very attracted to me, but didn't think WE were crazy in love" which he said made it too difficult/risky given that we live two hours from each other. (I've posted about the longer story elsewhere, I have a good sense that he just scared the hell out of himself and wasn't as ready to jump into an LTR as he thought he was). Have been NC immediately since we broke up 12 days ago. For the first time, I actually hope this guy breaks NC and talks to me. So how about all of you?
