well this situation works for me i guess.. lets say you were separated from your gf a year ago.. and then suddenly she called you talked to you and asked that you be back together.. what would you do? knowing that she already hurt you once would you still give it a shot the second time around? what are your thoughts on this? any advices? i know that she already hurt me but for some reason i still love her.. coz i loved her deep.. lol. :D

I tell you this, if she hurt you in the past, she will hurt you in the future. I have past this with my ex-boyfriend, now I am very happy with another one.

You are still young, and have plenty of time to search for the right one. You have to be strong. It takes time I know, it took me 4 years.

Been there, Done that... From a women's perspective... First of all, did she ask immediatley to get back together or was the conversation a friendly chat that led up to that request in a matter of days? If the relationship broke-up because she was unfaithful and she called spontaneously to ask to get back togehter - Do not do it. Period. This is a tactic for both men and women who are lonely and cannot handle being without a "mate". She will only stay as long as something else is not available. However, if she is willing to be a friend and see where things go, without an immediate relationship title, there may be a chance of reconciliation. Listen to her words, the sounds of her words, does she sound sincere? Do you feel she is sincere? I also think that by not answering her question, you did answer yours. : ) Take your time, don't rush...Best of thoughts to you and may you find balance.

From my experience, where he called me... Without that foundation of trust, no amount of love will sustain a lasting relationship. The doubt and fear will cause the love to be a secondary power. The phone call after a year and request to get back together makes me think she is lonely and knows that you cared deeply for her. Be careful, be very, very careful.

point taken.. thats also one of the reasons why i didnt yet wanna talk about that.. you know since what happened between us not so long ago.. she doesnt keep on calling anyway.. but she calls.. until today.. but we never talked about the same topic since the other day..

i cant tell.. at first she was kinda friendly.. and as the conversation grew, she asked if i was still mad at her something like that.. and then she told me that she did a very bad thing and she told me that she would like to get back together..

If I still love my ex, I think another chance is a great way of showing our love for each other. I honestly believe that giving our heart to someone is the same as giving that someone the license to hurt us. Otherwise, it is not love if we are not meant to be hurt. Just make sure that she didn't cheat on you because that is another story :)

It depends on your decision, you love her deeply, and you need to consider whether you forgave her or not, if you don't care she once hurted you before one year, and you can forgot the hurt from the bottom of your heart, and you can accept her now,so don't hesitate to separate her again.

maybe your ex-girlfriend had realized your importance when both of you parted ways.. that is why she wanted to patch things up again.. if you gonna give another try? maybe there would be a possibility that the issues of past? will come over and over again? but.. if you think that LOVE is worth giving a SECOND CHANCE? there is still trust? then why not? at least whatever questions left unanswered in your mind previously? will be answered at last... and you gonna have no regrets at all because in whatever step decision you do? you did it freely, your best..

hey genericbe.. i guess i have a lot of unanswered questions in my mind now.. but i dont think i want to get back together since there is that gap already.. and you cant blame me if i feel that way since she was the one who did it once before.. right??

Hello theonehush, great to see you around. Your avatar is so cool.. If it were up to me in this situation, I would just say hi or something on the phone but would not prefer to stay in touch. It would just make me remember the past and I wouldn't like it one bit.

Well thats a hard one. The way I see it is relationships end for a reason, maybe because people dont belong together or because they need some time apart to realise that they do work and things that need to be worked on for the relationship to work. You need to work out which catergory your relationship falls into. I dont know how I would feel if this was to happen to me as i havent had an experience like this not where I have been in love with the person anyway. Think about the reasons why you split up you say she hurt you can you be sure she has changed and isnt going to hurt you again? Yoiu have to ask yourself alot of questions and search deep for the answers that you need! Good luck and happy myLotting!

What happened to you happened to me some years ago. The girl who hurt my feelings so much called me and acted as if nothing happened some years back and is trying to be friend with me again. I did not entertain her again because for me. once trust is broken, it is so hard for me to give you that trust again. I can say that I have moved on from the very bad experience that I had with that girl and so happy I found my perfect girlfriend that somehow matches my personality.
