Do relationships work the second time around?

Question

Is it worth trying it again with an ex or is it better to just move onto someone new?

Answer 1

Sometimes they can work out. It really depends on if the two of you are in love and want to work through the issues. Sometimes having time apart shows you both what went wrong and how to fix it.

Answer 2

Second Time Around Relationships

Answer 3

No. You still end up with the same problems as before and you end up with a booty call at best. You will break up over the same reasons and you would have both wasted your time if you were looking for a real relationship.

Going back to your ex is like the lowest thing you can do. Stop being a loser and get with other people. There are 6 billion people in this world. Why do you have to go back to the one that you broke up with in the first place?

Answer 4

hm..well it depends how willing both of you are ready to commit again. But i've seen many relationships fail, sometimes you can't change certain things about a person, and the reason some relationships do go on is because one person in the relationship is just "settling" for whats' given to t hem. I think its better to move onto someone new, or to learn more about yourself, and figure out what it is you really want in a relationship.

Answer 5

I had 1 boyfriend that we tried three times before realizing it just would never work. My boyfriend now I dated a few times and couldn't stand him, somehow he convinced me with his charm to go out again and here were are 2 years later and things couldn't be better. But I think in that situation I didn't really give it a chance.
Think about the reasons you broke up and if anything has changed since. If those problems have not been resolved it will never work.

Answer 6

You never know until you try. If you feel it's worth your time and energy, then why not? What do you have to lose. Make sure you can let go of grudges first. Start the relationship over as if it were new, let by gones be by gones. If you can't put the "bad times" behind you, then don't waste your time. You'll just be rehashing what went wrong before. Learn from them don't dwell on them!

Answer 7

They can work as long as both people are mature and can fix the problem that made them break up in the first place. However, if it involved cheating the reason for the break up it is best to move on the other person will never get over it.

Answer 8

It depends on the issues of why you broke up in the first place. If it was because you were too young or distance, then by all means give it a shot. But if it was due to serious issues that are still there and can't be fixed, then its better to move on.

Answer 9

Probably the best answer to that is to find out if the issues that broke you up the first time, have been resolved. Either by changing the actions or changing the way you think about stuff. It can work 2nd time around.

Answer 10

the statistics are terrible with ex-es getting back together.
especially if they re-marry. but you are you and you have
to do what you think is right. so it could be ok for you.
ask yourself, what has really changed? is it just promises of
change or is there a real change that will make it so things
can work this time? there has to be a change if it is going to work the 2nd time because it didn't work before. what is the change and is it enough to make it workable? what changes are you willing to make to make it work the 2nd time? can you really make them. remember to go by what people DO not what they say or promise.
