How often to people get back together?

Question

I sometimes think about my ex's from previous years. Even during current relationships, I still think about them at times.

Has it ever been successful for people to break up, then get back together - months, even years later?

Answer 1

My answer is YES

People get back together all the time, it happens in almost every broken relationship. The reason is because it is easier to stay in the same Pattern you are used to, Most people don't like change and are scared to move on.

In a Co-Depedent relationship:
The way the dynamic in a dysfunctional relationship works is in a "come here" - "go away" cycle. When one person is available the other tends to pull away. If the first person becomes unavailable the other comes back and pleads to be let back in. When the first becomes available again then the other eventually starts pulling away again. It happens because our relationship with self is not healed. As long as I do not love myself then there must be something wrong with someone who loves me - and if someone doesn't love me than I have to prove I am worthy by winning that person back. On some level we are trying to earn the love of our unavailable parent(s) to prove to ourselves that we are worthy and lovable.

But over all yes people can get back together months even years later and it can be successful.

Personally i think it depends on the persons involved and the status of the break up.
Sometimes we encounter relationships that we were not ready for. Maybe situations in our own lives or the other persons. And most of the time, none of us have the guts to walk away when its just not the time.
I have had a few people that i would date again from my past. The break ups were mutual and as painless as could be. But the timing was off.
So i do believe it could happen. Just have not experienced it yet!

I recently moved house and became friends with a neighnbour. A pal of her partner's split up from a g/f over 5 years ago. However, they rekindled the relationship 6 months ago and are still together. (They are both mid 30's) x

Answer 5

Not that often. In my hole life i saw it happen 1 time, but that was because they really really liked each other. Also during those months that they were not going out ,they saw each other every day and made out even when that girl was going out with the guys best friend.

Answer 6

It does happen sometimes, but it's not likely because the person would have moved on.
It may happen on TV programs but in reality it's not always like that.
Even though you may have feelings for your ex(s), you don't know if they have feelings for you; so you should sit back and think about it. Say to yourself, "Do I really love this person or not". If you know you love them then tell them how you feel.

Answer 7

Sure, it happens. But if you broke up with the person, there was probably a good reason. For the most part, it's best to move on.

Answer 8

Yes i have gotten back together wih several of my ex's years after we broke up.
