Does anyone here believe in them? I do but I recall she said she did not believe in them when we were still together. So my question here is how real are fresh starts? Can you really start over (and I'm being purposefully vague here as I like to think starting over means something different to everyone personally).

 

On the other hand I can see a tendency to run away or give up if you always think the barrier to starting over is really low, I think I'm guilty of this in my life in general. When is it time to trash everything and start over and when should you soldier on? Have you ever felt you made a mistake in giving up too quickly or when the fresh start you set out on soured?

 

Lastly, any advice for those (including me) who have set out on the path to a fresh start but am still haunted by the past?

It takes two mature people who truly have analyzed and let go of the past. Along with letting go of the past issues both people need to want to rekindle the relationship.

 

It can happen, it's just not likely. It's truly hard for many to let go of all of the pain and hurt and more difficult when there are two that need to do so.
