if both people have grown and their paths come back on track, then why not
but if the shit is gonna be a re-run of yesterday with no progression no
move forward,

then i would have to say hell no....

:eek; Run Erin run to the light!

Yes I would. She's an angel. She's perfect and I don't see a reason why not, except for the fact she wouldn't take me back.

ItsOnlyMe said:

This raises the question: Does stalking count as "going back to?"

NDRU said:

NAH!! Semantics.....

NDRU said:

Nope. And I don't know how my answer raised that question.

I stay in touch with her. Once in a few weeks we'll e-mail each other with casual chat. I'd like to keep her a friend, since she's very wise, and since I care about her.

I went back to an ex one time. It was worst then when we were initially together

Sorry, I'm not implying anything about you, just me (and I was only joking).

I thought of it because you said "she wouldn't take me back."

I never did, no.

ZombieKitten said:

Actually I did, 3 times, no 4.

I did a couple times. It's a work in progress.

I tried it once that I remember- when my ex-husband and I were dating 5 years and it did not seem like it was going any where- I left him. He refused to move on and he was the only person that was stable and secure in my life. So- even though we had no spark or real connection as love partners - I went back. Then we got married then 5 years later I left again for the same reasons as before.
So- in that situation it was not a good thing- it just prolonged the pain, guilt and my feeling of being responsible for his happiness even though neither one of us were really happy together.
We made great room mates though

ZombieKitten said:

you even go back on yourself!

NDRU said:

true that

SureThing said:

Sorry....I am busy living my own life right now.....don't have time to come see how everyone on the org lives and breaths....ON THE ORG!

Whap!!

I'm actually talking to my first boyfriend lol( I met him when I was 14 and he was 15). SO I guess I would say yes

I used to do this back in the early 20s. I think I believed if I did, we (I) could finally "do it right". I was big into thinking that a relationship's success or failure was a direct commentary on my value as a woman.

I grew up!

NDRU said:

well each time was within weeks of breaking up, so technically they probably don't count really

ZombieKitten said:

"we were on a break!"

mdiver said:

well each time they begged me to come back but after a couple of times it got old, "go away, come here, go away, come here"

mdiver said:

Ross would have never cheated on Zombie with that skank!

NDRU said:

this is obviously some cultural reference lost on me since I NEVER watch TV

Um, not really. I haven't had what most people would class as a 'serious' relationship but, if there's a male equivalent, I guess I'm sometimes the 'Filler Guy'. Quite why, I'm not sure.

I have hooked up again with exes but - usually - the same reason as to why we split up in the first place re-emerges. But I've remained good friends with everyone I've been involved with so there's never any bad blood, thankfully.

Unless both parties have grown/moved forward/adapted then exes are usually exes for a reason.

ZombieKitten said:

Errrrr YOU are not on a break.....back to work

onenitealone said:

Hey mate Long time no see.

ZombieKitten said:

and that's the difference between you & Rachel



nevermind...

mdiver said:

Hi Phil!! Good to see you! How are things??

Yeah, I had to take a bit of an Org break for a few reasons but it's great to be back. You know what this place is like: you always sneak in the back door eventually.

Not sure if you're going to be at any upcoming Meet-ups but, if so, it'll be really good to see you again.
