I get a lot of those warm, fuzzy emails where people re-unite after 70 years of being apart...how true are they?? In the meantime, are you going to hold you breath, or live your life?? I doubt very few people would have the patience these days to do that. It's probably a rarity, so don't count on a timeline. Hey, you might re-connect with your ex in a nuring home, who knows. Don't let it stop living your life!!

I couldn't tell you what the percentages are, but I can tell you it happens. My husband and I got back together 2 years after divorcing. We had both been with other people, and he had even had another child with his girlfriend. Neither one of us was very happy without the other, though. We talked about it, and we dated for almost a year before moving back in together. We had a child that we didn't want to confuse, especially if our relationship didn't work out again. We've now been back together 6 years, and have two more children.
You can't expect any relationship to go according to a timetable, though. People are people, and go through life at their own pace. Impatience may not be the best charactoristic to show. It would probably be a good idea to get couples counseling for the issues that contributed to your breakup in the first place, or else you'll both go back to the same behavior patterns from the first time around.

Sorry, not accurate folks. Proven fact, couples get back together months, sometimes YEARS later. sometimes it takes months for a really hurt heart to heal, and for an angry ex to forgive, forget and start remembering all the good times. Now, should the person who got dumped sit around waiting for the ex to come back? Noooo, move on as best you can. But you don't have to give up all hope. I think when we still have strong feelings for someone we can't help but keep that little ember burning in the back of our hearts, in CASE the person resurfaces. Hearts and humans are UNpRedIcTaBLE! We never know what will happen. But in the meantime, try to fall in love with another wonderful person. Then if your ex comes knocking again they do, and you will deal with it then!

I would have to say maybe 20-30%. When people leave a relationship it is usally because they see nothing changing or no future with the person they are with or something like they have been cheated on or abused emotionally or physically.
If they would come back you must understand that there will have to be a great deal of patience. One of the main things that may be a tell-tale sign is that they are keeping contact with you if not they have carried on and you should do the same. I would say if the person doesn't come back in say one
months time it ain't going to happen.
God Bless and if you are in this dilemma personally you may just want to get on with your life.
Life is way to short to wait on a what if?

It is really hi from my own experience I would say 95% out of all the lovers I have had I know that only two of them never came back I am still waiting on one of them though. This is a good question I just had an ex that I had not seen in 15 years come back and it was great she is getting a divorce. Women never forget the good lovers in there life.

Texting is private and intimate. Texting is the
perfect way to create a private and intimate world between you and
the man or woman in your life. For women in particular, texting
can end up being a fun “game” where they can do or say anything
(even things they would never do in the “real” world).
Texting is non confrontational. Odds are your relationship
ended on a heated note. I don’t know why you and your ex broke
up, but there was probably at least one (if not a few dozen) big
fights. Done properly (the way I’m going to teach you), texting is
simple and subtle. You can slowly feed your ex tested and proven
messages and ideas without the risk of either one of you flying
off the handle, falling back into old and destructive patterns, and
throwing plates at each other.

I know a few couples in this situation.. one is in the process of getting his wife back, the other one probably won't since she has moved on.
The one in the process has been at it for about a year - of course it depends what you did, how bad it was, how long ago it was, if you really changed or not, and what kind of woman she is, some women might jump back right away, others are wounded and distrustful and it could take a long time.
Stick it out. If they are agreeing at least to meet with you and talk to you - then you have a chance. If she really hated you - she wouldn't talk to you - trust me on that

1) It depends on the circumstances.
2) It depends on the circumstances. No.
3) It depends on the circumstances. They will vary.
In my case I would have had a hard time taking my ex back - even though I wanted to very badly. I loved him unconditionally but he had huge self-esteem issues and a mental condition that we didn't know about until after he decided to leave. He also had a girlfriend - which didn't help. I couldn't take him back and still respect myself. Nor did I want to confuse our son, who was so hurt he didn't recover for almost 2 years (and still has problems because of what his dad did). For those first two years I ached for my husband to come back. But we had little or no contact in that time. He still couldn't look me in the eye. If he had maintained any kind of real contact - offered to help with anything (not money-wise, but to help take care of things), tried to talk (really tried, not just half-heartedly), been a better father to our son during that time (he took him whenever he was supposed to but didn't give him any attention), and not forced his girlfriend on our son - things may have been very different. He would have had to go all out to win me (and my family) back after what he did, though. He was too afraid of failure to do that. And I think he felt too guilty to face myself, my family, or to admit to his own family the lies he had told. Even his friends and coworkers were astounded when he left - I had just finished cancer treatments and he had told everyone how grateful he was that I had survived and how much he loved me and wanted to take care of me always.
To get back to your questions, though; yes, it will most likely take great patience and a lot of dedication. Time frames? I don't know if there is any time frame that can't be overcome but, obviously, the longer you've been apart, the more effort it will take to rebuild what has been lost. You've both experienced a lot of life in the interim, made new friends/acquaintenances, become more independent, possibly had other relationships (which can cause problems with rebuilding yours), discovered new likes or dislikes, lost a lot that may cause resentment (home, income, pets, friends, dreams). Have either of you lost a close relative during the time you've been apart? How was it handled? Were you there for each other? Have either of you been ill or had surgery or had any other major life occurrence that had to be weathered without the other? These things can make you stronger alone or together - or resentful if you have to handle them alone.
If you are serious about wanting to reconcile - start trying to gently work you way back into your partner's life. Try going out for dinner or coffee once in awhile. Let your ex know that you are there as a friend for whatever they need. Don't try to overstep the boundaries of friendship too soon - that will cause problems in and of itself. Even if it is invited there can be undue backlash or confusion.
Good luck - if this is what you want you may have a difficult road. Consider enlisting the help of a counselor. Don't listen to any of the negativity that may be broached by family or friends. If this is your decision you need to committ and keep your eyes on the prize.
