mantlefan Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 My aunt and uncle broke up and then got back together and eventually got married, still are 25 years later. My dad got dumped by a woman he was with for 6 months, she went back to her ex and married him eventually. Not sure if they are still together. I hope you aren't asking just to get your hopes up.

mantlefan Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 You'll find a lot of success stories here!........just not the ones you're looking for. Yeah, after 4ish months of misery, it is starting to get into my head that getting back with my ex would NOT be a success story for either of us. I still hope, but it's time to be real. Taking someone off the pedestal doesn't even mean you need to stop loving them. It means you see them as they really are, and that means if you really look closely at the truth, they probably aren't good for you nor you for them.
thefez Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 Yes. my best friend split from his ex 3 years ago just under. It wasnt working out, but they had time aprt and after a year were friends. He found it difficult seeing her on face ache dating a few unsuitable guys (even by her admision) about 12/13 months ago she started messaging him a fair bit and apolgised outright about her issues and that with hindsight he was the best way thing to hapen to her. At the time he was in a rut and his not happy with his girlfriend (she was more like a best friend) so he made a few decisions and they are now back together and have been for 7 months. Very happily as it is the time apart let them both deal with stuff and come back a bit more wise and grown up. Needles to say Ikam happy for him and also a tad envious! So yes it does happen

Well, not to be rude, but that was your biggest problem. No woman should be placed on a pedestal (and to be honest, most women don't want to be there anyway!). When we place them on a pedestal, then they're looking down on us. Like, we're beneath them (the beta male). Then we're easy to manipulate and use us. We become doormats. I believe girls want to be by our sides! Walking through life hand in hand and viewed as our equals; our "better halves". Those types of relationships usually last. because there's a mutual respect. Hard to respect someone if you're constantly looking down on them. 6
Fufu Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 Everyone's relationship journey is different and unique on its own. There are couples who really got back together after a break up. There are couples who still remain as strangers after breaking up. All I can say is when one just experienced a fresh break up, never ever think/dream/hope/wish there's chance of reconciliation because this will truly hinder one's emotional well being of moving on from the past. When there's a second chance or reconciliation, it is still ultimately a brand new relationship and every new relationship comes with a certain limit of risk that things may not work out eventually. 2
