I'm curious to know if anyone has get back after a separation.

I know people do and have.
After all you say and do in a separation how can it ever happen? things get said, things get done that are not forgivable etc..
Can I really be done.

Do you want to, OP - if so, what has changed for you about the relationship?

I don't think I ever could, no, but my ex did some things that I will find very hard to forgive, and or that reason i just don't find him attractive anymore.

Do you want to get back with your ex? How does he/she feel about it? What were the reasons you split, and do you thing these could be forgotten/forgiven/resolved?

No reason it can't happen, but someone is an ex for a reason, so do take care and think long and hard.

We just dont get along together anymore we are both very stubborn etc. Its was his final decision to split after 19 year's. I found it very hard at the beginning to except that he wanted to split. He has said a few times that you never know what could happen in the future, people split up and get back together. I just found it strange to say such a thing..

I did, but only because it was bankrupting us both, and DD was utterly miserable. I went to live with family and they were of the opinion we should get back together and made living there awkward, they were not any support at all really. Plus he insisted on having DD every weekend, and was harassing me by text to get back together constantly, kept harping on about how we should remain 'faithful to the family' and grilling me as to whether I wanted to sleep with someone else, this didn't stop him going on dates though. I had to leave all my things and my job and my friends and it was too much without a supportive family. I am not happy, but won't be in a financial position to leave for a few years yet. Luckily we work around one another because we can't afford childcare so I don't have to spend a great deal of time with him.

My parents, following an affair (my mum). She moved out for a few months then came back. They had therapy, and have been as happily married as anyone else I know for the next 30 years.

Yes - we divorced then remarried.

All the heartache has been forgiven/forgotten, life is too short. We are happier now than ever before, more tolerant, more understanding of each other's needs.
