My ex and I broke up because he was moving abroad for a year. I thought we would break up, not because I wanted to, but just because I know we're both too sensible and realistic and know that the best years of our lives shouldn't be spent in a LDR. Didn't make it an easy break up though.
Been nearly 2 years and I tried moving on but I realistically don't think I can ever fully move on until I'm in a new relationship. But I almost don't want to move on, because I'm not ready to close that chapter. When he came back, he wanted to give things another go. I was trying to be strong so I wouldn't get hurt again so I said no.
It's hard to move on because there's nothing to hate about him, our relationship was great and I haven't met anyone like him since.
Now that I've had time to think it over, I think I could be open to the idea of giving things another go but I know people in my life will try and convince me not to. When he previously asked to give things another go, I had too much going on at uni to even make time for him but now all that has settled down.
So question is, have any of you got back with an ex? Particularly if the the relationship ended well and there was no fighting or cheating. How did it work out? And if you chose not to get back with your ex, what was your reasoning for it?
My head is saying to forget about him and move forward but my heart is saying don't just throw away something that was so good especially if we both still want it back.
Like I said, this is mostly aimed at people whose relationships ended alright. I wouldn't get back with someone who cheated or if we had loads of problems while we were dating.
