Did you ever end a long term relationship, later get back together with your ex, settle your differences, and the relationship actually worked out?

I have heard of ex's getting back together and it acutally working out. In most cases it doesn't work. Both people have to be very serious about making it work, and leaving the past in the past. Sometimes it takes a breakup for whatever reason to make people realize that the grass is not greener on the other side of the fence, and the separation can make you realize how much you actually appreciate what you did have. And hopefully, the other person is feeling the same.
I'm in the middle of trying to make a 24 year marriage work out after 2 years of problems. It looks like it just may work out.
Good luck.

Me and my guy are exactly like Carrie and Mr. Big from Sex and the City. He was emotionally distant, and we broke up again and again; only to get back together again. He didn't tell me he loved me on a bridge in Paris like Big did, but he did ask me to come with him when he moved 1000 miles away for work.
I only got back together with him again and again because I knew he was the true love of my life, and I managed to see past or around the little differences, or beat him with a skillet over the big ones. Now we live together and I can't imagine my life without him. Sometimes it takes many do-overs before you both get it right. But that's only if it's realllly important to you to do it; not just because there's no one else around, or it's an old habit thing. Good luck!

No, it never works out. The reasons you broke up in the first place are still there, no matter how happy you may be to be back together. Once real life settles in again, all those problems and issues come right back and you're left to smack yourself in the forehead and way, "Oh, right THAT'S why we broke up."
Don't bother, don't waste your time getting back with an ex.

Well yes but you just have to make sure that the reason you broke up the first time doesn't happen agagin if you really want it to work. You have to work together and don't let little thing be blown out of proportion! Just start over just like you never met before and then keep going from there!

Gotten back with a couple ex's........nope didn't work out. Was great at the begining, but the same problems came back. If we really wanted it to work out maybe counseling would have helped?

great question. i think of 2nd opportunities can basically artwork if the two events have taken the time to artwork on themselves. I remember ending a relationship with a guy, no longer speaking to him for a 300 and sixty 5 days, getting back including him, and interior weeks getting to renowned that I had replaced for the greater suitable yet he nevertheless had his previous conduct.

I have not, but some people do...if they have resolved the issues that caused the break up in the first place, then it's possible for things to work out the 2nd time around...
It's iffy though...and often the old demons crop up...

No. But my brother did. He remarried the witch. My family hated her when they were dating, married first time & despise her now. She is a lying, manipulative biotch. Because of her, my brothers, sister & I don't talk to him anymore. An occasional email is it. He's never even met my kids & they're teenagers now. There isn't 1 ex I would take back, there was a reason it ended.
