Can you get back together after 3 years?

I'm at a loss about what to do, so I'd love to see what you all think. For the past two weeks I've been hanging out with an ex-boyfriend. We dated 3 years ago, for 8 months, and broke up because we both had jobs that demanded too much time, and never saw each other. We are "just friends" now, have different jobs, and last night he said he wanted to "try again." Do you think it's possible? A good idea? A terrible idea? I know it's impossible to say without knowing more details, but I'm looking for general impressions here.

If the time issues were the only factor in ending the relationship and time is available to you both now for it, I can see no reason why it could not be successful. If you still have a deep bond and care for him in the way a partner should then go for it! Opportunities rarely knock twice, let alone in regards to relationships. I hope things work out well for both of you. Keep me posted!!!

Thanks, shell. I guess my concern is, I wonder if time was just an excuse, and if we were really so right for each other, shouldn't we have been able to make it work somehow?

Can you imagine your life without him. If the answer is yes than maybe you shouldn't.

That's interesting. I never thought about it that way. Yes, I've lived my life without him for 3 years and was fine.
