Do I try and get back with my ex?

Rite, me and my ex split up a few months ago. Stuff has happened between us since and she has told me a few times her feelings still haven't changed and mine definitely still haven't. The problem is though, she also has feelings for another bloke, who kind of contributed to us breaking up, but they still haven't got together properly yet and she has admitted to me that she feels he is just playing her and not treating her right...which is definitely the case as all of her mates can see it as well.

I know I'd treat her better if we got back together, but we seem to have tried to be more distant over the past couple of weeks. So...do I try and stay close to her and 'fight for her' or just give her the space, let it all go and try and forget the whole thing? :confused:

you broke up for a reason.. and if you don't think you can trust her, is there really any point?

on the other hand, if you think you can salvage whats left of what you had, then you may as well go for it. i think at the end of the day though, only you can make the decision on whether it's going to work or not.
to be honest man, it sounds to me like she has been trying to get with this guy, it is failing, and she wants to be in a relationship so is "considering" getting back with you.

getting back with exs is awkward, never the same. well it wasnt when i split up and got back together with an old ex of mine.

i agree with ^ post. Shes broken up with you, gone after this other guy and now that hes playing her, shes going back to good ol' ex boyfriend.

Exs are exs for a reason! Dont play back into her game!
I got back with one of my ex's recently because i thought he had changed for the better but if anything he's got much worse and we're at breaking point at the moment... if you really think that you and your ex can work it out then i guess you should go for it and see what happens and take the risk you might get hurt again, on the other hand if this other guy is involved (and by the sounds of it she likes him and would be with him if he didn't treat her badly) that could interfere loads and if you can't trust her there's no point being in a relationship.

women usually want to be fought for :p:
and even if it doesn't work out in the end, at least you know you tried
No, do not go back to her, she left you to pursue another guy. Now she knows she's made a mistake and found out what he really is, she thinks it's fine to try come crawling back. I made this mistake in the past, don't let her back.
