If you’ve ever broken up with someone and then managed to get back with them please share your stories here! What were the things your ex said or did that made you think getting back together was only wishful thinking and how did you end up rekindling things?

It all depends on why you broke up in the first place. If there were issues involving any substance addiction, alcohol, porn, drugs, gambling.... any major incompatibilities around trust, sexual integrity etc., any emotional, verbal or physical abuse, then I would say a firm no. However, yes, people can change.... in some instances counselling can help you to figure out whether it's worth trying again. Maybe just the wrong timing the first time around, too young, wanted different things, different general life directions etc... In such cases, yes it could work.

But if someone had abused me, cheated on me, behaved out of integrity towards me... nope.
