ButtonPusher Posted September 7, 2005 Posted September 7, 2005 I've read a few posts here about people who ended their relationships and then after a few months, or more, of having no contact and of moving on with their lives, they realised they'd made a mistake, well not neccessarily a mistake at the time, but realised they really did want to be with the person they left. Anyway my question is for those people that fit this category, or people that have an opinion on this. What makes people come to this realisation? Is it a specific moment when it hits them, for example after they've been with someone else and realised how good it was with the ex, or maybe they get reminded of something special they did or shared with the ex by hearing a song or seeing something? Or is it a gradual feeling, building up over time, that they miss their ex more and more until the point they decide that they want to be with them again?

Cupcake Posted September 7, 2005 Posted September 7, 2005 There are many answeres and reasons why people do this. Sometimes, they leave with the hope that the grass will be greener on the other side of the fence. Once they get over there, they realise it really isn't. Sometimes the grass is worse on the other side. Then they want to go back. Sometimes, situations occur that are uncontrollable and cause people to break up. Like one person relocates to a different place. They might have left thinking that the LDR wouldn't work. Then later they realise that it will. The situation changes. So they go back. Sometimes, people go back just out of pure lonliness or desparation that they have nobody else. They go back. Sometimes (believe it or not), people actually change. And they go back.
