I mean, why do people get back with their ex-boyfriends or ex-girlfriends? They've exprienced the disappointment once, but they do it again! Don't you ever learn? Don't you think that with the amount of people on this planet (and there are some pretty good looking ones... ok, not all of them for sure!) it would be wiser to turn the page and start anew? It seems to be the easiest the thing to do rather than go out and find somebody new... Why do people do that?

Because, quite frankly, make-up sex is AWESOME!

There is not a 'blanket' answer to this because the answer could not possibly be the same for each and every couple that has made this decision. The most widely used reason is that one or both are insecure and feel that they have to be with someone always. The type of person who would rather be with someone that is not a good match for them than be without a boyfriend/girlfriend for even a few months (or days).

Experience,Comparison & Compatibility!!In most of the cases of re-union, the people would have got seperated, would have made someone else as friend and subsequently would have realised that the original guy or girl was much more understanding and lovable than the subsequent ones. A small but pardonable mistake would have seperated thembut the realization of that fact comes later. After one or two failures, nobody feels like trying once again!!! Can this not be the reason?

Because people stick to what they know, they are scared of going out and trying new things, which is why they get hurt. At the end of the day you broke up for a reason and if that reason is still there it wont work full stop. Also some people are scared of being single they see it as being alone, when its not necessarily true so they just keep going back, soon they will realise xx

Because when an ex wants them back, and they hear "I'm going to change, it'll be different.." they believe them.
But humans are creatures of habit, and though some small things might change, it's most likely that your old relationship will be much like the first round.
Also, sometimes people break up for reasons other than relationship issues. Sometimes it could be distance, or friends/family tearing them apart. Then it makes more sense to try again.

The biggest reason people don't stay together is because they are not mature enough and really don't know what they want. The second reason, they made a mistake, overlook how the other person really is and did not ask themselves "Does this person give me what I need and fulfill what I want in a relationship?"
I got back with my ex and so far after 8 months we are doing better then before. Took 5 years for us to mature enough to get back together but it is in the works.

It's life I am afraid and you must admit sometimes it does work out 2nd or 3rd time around. I am a cousellor and have studied patterns. For example if a girl's partner is perhaps a heavy drinker, knocks her about etc. She then leaves him,statistics are very high(can't remember exact %) she ends up with a similar partner than the one she ditched. Therefore going back with ex's is something the same thing.

AMEN Brother!!! you took the words right out of my mouth. I am also guilty of doing it...but i think the only way you will find out is if you learn the hard way. Breaking up is never easy..and by going back just confirms that you are emotionally dependant on your (ex) partner...BUT also remeber..people change...and we all walk around hoping its true..in some cases it is...my opinion:if it didnt work the first time, why would it work the second time?????

i think that most people go back with thier ex's because its a sense of familiarity...yea maybe there was disappointment but they could also be giving them a second chance, cuz maybe they're a different person...or maybe the break-up was mutual or you moved out of town...and u saw each other again and those feelings came back...it could be a whole page of reasons but the main one is, they havent stopped caring or loving that other person...

Some people really do change and mature, and some people manage to work their issues out. If they broke up just because of a problem that is now fixed, they might want to be together again.
On the other hand, I have never done it, so I don't know why other people do it.

Because sometimes the relationship is worth trying again. Sometimes both people have matured and are better able to resolve conflicts the second time around.
