Do you think it's possible after you break up with someone to re-date them? Discuss.

Maybe. But I don't.

Yes, it is possible. However, I don't advice it b/c 9 times out of 10 that person you broke up with hasn't changed a damn bit and is the same.

It depends, I guess. I know I wouldn't date anyone I've broken up with again, but that's cause we broke up for a very good reason. On the other hand, I do know at least one couple who broke up and eventually got back together and are happier than ever. One of the strongest couples I know, even.

I am living with my ex-husband - things (we) haven't really changed since the divorce and we therefore clash at times over the same old issues. However, there is a lot of love there and we try to make it work despite the fact that we are very different in so many ways. We have almost opposite goals and desires and no interests in common at all. Essentially, though, on the important things (matters of the heart) we are similar and although it's a lot of effort, we hang in there because we'd rather be together than apart.

all things are possible

It's possible. Not an easy thing for the doing, though.

It's possible, not easy but possible.

True. All things are possible but are not worth repeating.

It happens.....

It is possible, but that doesn't necessarily mean it is gonna work.


Sometimes it's best to leave it if it didn't work the first time, other times it is best to try again and give it one more shot.


The fact that you are asking for a second opinion shows you aren't too sure, which to me says; No, leave it and move on.

In a word: NO!

There is a reason you broke up in the first place and personally...once I have turned the page there is no going back...things cannot and will not be the same as they were the first time around....

Just my

I know someone who's doing this at this very moment...only time will tell if will be successful or not, but it looks like "so far, so good" as of now.

I think it may depend upon why the relationship ended, moreso than merely the fact that it did end.

Definitely agree with that. If it ended badly, it probably won't work.

I think you're spot on.

rocknrolldave said:

Actually I just tried it and it ended a few nights ago. Things didnt' end badly which is the hardest part of it. There's still a lot of love there but things just didn't work out. I was just curious to know what you guys thought. Thanks!

Yes its possible.

guitarslinger44 said:

Been that; done there.

yes, you come into it again much more cautious.

The innocence of the first time is lost obviously, but there a maturity in it the second time that makes it easier (if a little more frightening) than the first.

Fuck it. I give up.
