Seeking Your Ex And Wanting To Fix It All Over Again? (Mature Minds Only) by ElRazur: 5:48am On Sep 26, 2010
This thread is aimed at mature minds only. If you cannot be logical or display simple common sense, please stay away. Thanks.



So you meet someone and for whatever reason you guys went each others way. However, there comes a point, that you seem to forget the reasons as to why it never worked out, and deep down  you wish things were different.

You dream about this so called person sometimes that you actually wake up, and have the urge to give them a ring, or have the desire to actually find them. Now imagine this happening every once in a while. Will it be worth it to actually give such person a ring/find them or is it better to let sleeping dogs just be?


Also why do this keep happening after years of moving on. undecided

Maybe undecided it's because we wonder if we had done things differently "would we be together now" undecided.

What do you mean?

Any way to the topic, that will entirely depends on the reason for the break up. however I wouldn't mind giving the relationship
a second chance. Maybe you/whoever in this situation is realizing what a precious thing they have just lost.

Remember the phrase ' you never know what you have until you lose it?'  precisely that's the scenario we have here.
If you are the person in question, I advice you quit mucking around and go settle things with this ex of yours.

i think the best thing is to let sleeping dogs lie, there was a reason you left them in the first place. I guess the only thing to take away from such feelings is that sometimes the grass isnt greener on the other side and every woman isnt perfect. Been down that road before but the truth is, its only a matter of time before you begin to wonder why you went back a second time.

My take on this - find someone else. Dont be surprised if your new woman looks almost exactly like her.  wink

Easy . . . you're lonely . . . and now you're thinking the other chic did have some good sides that you would also like in a new mate. Now you're wondering if you made a bad mistake letting her go afterall the time taken looking for a new person could have been spent building a relationship with the one you lost.

But its life bro . . . you win some you lose some. I remember once waking up in the middle of the night and calling my brother to track down an ex for me after 2 yrs. now i laugh at my own naivety.

Before I can give you a complete answer, I'm curious to know, what exactly do you mean by "So you meet someone and for whatever reason you guys went each others way."? Do you mean that we were in an actual relationship with the individual or that w met someone and we weren't in a relationship and we sorta got along well but went our separate ways?

From what I know, it was a complex reason, but lack of trust and a parasitic mentality. You know, wanting to use one for their needs etc.

I have to agree that there is a urge to give it a go, but as Davidylan said, the grass may not necessarily be greener on the other side.

True words. I remember one that actually happened to me. Went back to naija, checked on Ex (was actually contemplating marriage as of then) but all the memories was blown out of water due to how much she (or me) has changed over the years. So yes, it may just be best to keep this feeling of "what if" in the head and not go beyond it.

As per the lonely bit, you may have struck a chord there. I haven't viewed it like that and it is weird to think it may be a possibility after years of moving on. I suppose it is exactly this feeling that drives this desire to want to "check it out" again.




@Ink Nerd
I was just paraphrasing - You met someone, dated them for a long time and after went each others way.

Hmmm, ok. Well, I'm kind of in a situation like that at the moment. With all honesty, I wouldn't mind giving it another go. Some years ago, there was a Cuban guy that I met. Upon meeting this man, we really hit it off. I liked him and I knew that he liked me but at that time, we couldn't really be together and it seemed as though after some time we grew apart. Just recently I saw the same guy I had met years ago, on the train while I was on my way home one afternoon. I was very tempted to go speak to him and perhaps rekindle our lost relationship, but I decided to kept quiet and act as casual as possible. Usually I try to go with my gut when it comes to things of this matter. Whether or not I try to rekindle a romance with an old flame will/may depend of my past relationship with that person, how the person is presently [if I am aware of how their life is going], and whether or not I truly want to be with that person.

its loneliness. You're going "what the heck was i thinking letting this girl go?" At least she was willing to hang around you like a lap dog, do anything you wanted, cook for you (one was horrible cook and nearly burnt down my kitchen), clean house for you . . . and now out of either arrogance or sheer stupidity you kicked her away only to find out not every cute face out there can be as accommodating of your nature as she.

By the time you find someone new you'd be wondering why you even bothered to call your ex back.
Re: Seeking Your Ex And Wanting To Fix It All Over Again? (Mature Minds Only) by yme1(f): 9:20am On Sep 26, 2010
it is been said NEVER GO BACK TO YOUR VOMIT but again it all depends on the circumstances surrounding the break up,if you feel the breaking up wasn't necessary at the time cause you can't find a concrete reason which lead to it then i will say you give it a try that is if you two can or are ready to work it out

you need to sit down and answer this questions

is coming back together woth it?
will i be happy with him/her?
will the relationship bring back sparkling sweet thots or that of regret?
does he/she still feel same way about me?
what exactly do i want from him/her?

remember NO RISK NO REWARD wink

Your statement really hits the nail on the head, especially the part "does he/she feel the same way,this should not be assumed.

Yes it should be a discussion about what the topic is, and not posting things that completely derails the thread.  You and your gang are good at this. How hard is it to stay on topic? You really do not have to post in every thread you know.

I won't say much on this, but using common sense once in a while is not such a bad thing you see.
