I'm just curious about it. since lots of people are still in love with their exes. what if one time, he/she will ask you for another chance? would you let him/her enter your life again? let's put it this way: he/she's the one who asked for a break up before and the reason?? (let's have different reasons) A): he/she loves another girl/boy. B): he/she wants to focus on his/her studies C): you had your misunderstanding and he/she wants space. D): third party (he/she's the one who had another someone) if the reason is letter a or d, i wouldnt give him any other chance. I DON'T WANNA BE AN OPTION! if the reasons is b or d, maybe i can give hima nother chance. let's see how much effort he'll give. : HOW ABOUT YOU?

Me and Cuddle Bunny split up 11 years ago, it was my fault kind of (I was suffering depression and started drinking heavy and pushed everyone away, me and Cuddle Bunny we engaged at the time)...but last year was started talking again and we have been going back out again for just over a year. I feel blessed that she understood I didn't mean to hurt her and that I love her very much.

Me too..it almost didn't happen too as I thought she hated ,e after we split up as someone who I considered a very good friend said she never wanted to speak to me ever again...and it was because he wanted to be with her and wanted me out of the way! I feel very lucky to be back with her again

My ex asked me for another chance but unfortunately I couldn't take it. I was currently falling for someone else and my ex was also bipolar and would flip out on me pretty easily. I did love her at some point in time though and she could be really sweet at times as well. I'm glad I made that choice to not try it out again because the girl I was falling for and I have currently been dating for about a year and a half now. I couldn't give my ex another chance now because I'm madly in love with my current girlfriend. I can only hope that my ex is having a good life and it will continue to get better in the future.

Not a chance in h*ll!! If someone would go back to an ex I don't think there was a valid reason for the breakup. My ex was into *orn and all kinds of abuse. There is no way I'd go back to him. I do not like being controled or manipulated. It was an abusive situation and I will never live like that again!

whaaat? O__O i understand your feelings. if my ex as harsh as your ex then THERE'S NO CHANCE AT ALL! lucky, my ex is really nice but i think we don't have the chance to be back a each other's arms. :) he's one of my bestfriends right now. NEVER EVER GIVE YOUR ABUSIVE EX A CHANCE. thanks for sharing! happy mylotting.

a and d are kind of the same. If you had a misunderstanding then why would you not get back with them? everyone makes mistakes and misunderstandings happen. If they want to focus on their studies just ask if you could still talk to them and spend a little less time with them I guess.
@rumshie (186)

yes. i guess your right! :) what i mean with A and D is that at A, he/she never cheated on you but then admitted that he/she likes someone aside from you. :) thank you for the response. happy mylotting.

there are two things i will rememeber before considering a reconciliation (dating relationship): reason for breakup and present relationship. If the reason for breakup is her leaving me, I will be wondering if history will not repeat itself. If I left her, again my reason for doing so will be very important. If I am in a relationship, and my gf loves me a lot, what's the point going back to the ex?

well maybe everybody deserve it what ever the reason is cause we could learn on it why do we fall? to pick are self up again so for me it's ok as long as there is still trust even though it will not be that easy again like you will start all over again

i have a different opinion, if the break- up is intiated by her/him, i will not give any chance to her/him. because when she/he tell you want to break up. you are hurted.

Hi Rumshie, A lot would depend on the reasons for the break up and the amount of time that goes by before we consider trying to work things out. A and D are deal breakers but the others are workable situations. If I break it off with a guy, I usually go thru a period of feeling hurt and working to get beyond it. Once I have succeeded in moving on he would have to be very very convincing to get me to consider going back. Usually when a relationship ends it isn't for just any one reason but a lot of other things leading up to it.

yes, you're definitely right! I agree with your idea too. :) he needs to exert lots of effort to convinve me that i should hook up with him again. : but for the reasons A and D, i guess i wouldn't be open for any chances. :) thanks for sharing your opinion. happy mylotting!

I guess it would depend on a lot of things. I personally would look at the past a lot and whether it is something that I am willing to give up on or not. I mean there are a lot of things to consider but one main one should be whether or not he or she is making you happy. If not then the efforts made would be kind of pointless. I think you really have know if this is what you really want and if it is a good thing for you. I think that if you really think about something like this sometimes the answer is already in your heart. If you can no longer feel that closeness and wanting to be near them all the time, it might just be too late. So I think it comes down to how you feel and how it will affect your happiness. If this person has bought you nothing but pain it probably would not be a good idea to continue or give any chances because you would be wasting time when you can be in the arms of someone who will care more and will make you happy.

Yes this is a universal case and it applies to everyone. Even my friend is suffering from the same problem. He and his girl friend are no more in love according to terms but still they have some internal feelings amongst each other and its the ego that prevents them in disclosing their original feelings. If you are not committed with any other, then I would find it advisable and recommendable to give your ex one more chance.
@rumshie (186)

yes. that's a very good suggestion. :) no, im not committed but i guess my ex won't come back as my lover but we're bestfriends. lol. i'm just curious about this problem. :D thank you for sharing your thoughts. happy mylotting!

Nope, Coz no matter what happen he should stick with you. If it was easy for him to ask a break up and then now he is asking for another chance.. then maybe it would be much easier for him to ask for another break up coz he is thinking that "oh she's easy so I will break up and reconcil with her whenever i want" . Its time to move on and to welcome new people into our lives...I believe that past is past.Our ex is part of our past. Theres a reason why they didnt make it in our future.

yes. i definitely agree with your thoughts! I mean if he really loves you then he should not give up that fast. and if you would let him enter your life all over agin, he's going to do the same thing again and again thinking that you're too in love with him that you'll always give him the chance. But my friends have a very different opinion from me too and i guess they have their points too. :) we're too young to close everything at this very point. tahnk you for sharing your thoughts! happy mylotting. PS: it's not happening to me. :

I think it will really depend on his effort to win me back -- and this time he won't be able to get me "just like that" because he was the one who broke up with me in the first place...it'll be difficult I guess, especially if I was really hurt (which means, I truly love him). So if he comes back just before I completely fall out of love, I might give him another chance depending on his effort, but if I'm no longer in love with him, the answer will be a flat NO.

Ahhh. Your situation is what really happened to me. Reason A was the culprit for me. He loved another women then, so he had to let me go, actually, we broke up already, and then he had another girlfriend, and then he tried to get me back again, but then he can't leave the other woman, so we ended up apart. After 7 years, he tried to get with me again, and I don't know why, but I let him enter my life again, and now we have been together for four years and are planning to get married. I'm just thankful that I gave him a chance again, cause I could have missed out on a lot of great things.

As far as I am concerned, I think I am still single at the moment. So if my ex asks me to begin a new raltionship with me. I may not refuse her directly, ( she is not so bad, in my opinion). I think as long as she tries her best to love me, I think I will give her the second chance to begin a neew relationship with me. In my deep heart, I think I do not want to say good bye to her at her. I may want to have a wonderful life in my deep heart with a girl that I love her so much, in return , she love me so much.

In my case my ex gave me another chance and now we are happy ever after. I think everybody deservs a second chance, altough it always depends on the situation. In my case I'm so very happy my ex give me another chance, but we break up in the first time for a reason not listed by rumshie and also I never like/love/want other girl beside my ex.
