None of that for me. They had their shot.
So it was always someone else’s fault?
@ezwryder The question pertains to lovers. In this case, yes. If it were just girlfriends, that's a different question with a different answer.
Most of the time its a bad idea! Those are my feelings on it, usually there is a reason why it didn't work the first time
NEVER GO BACK! I think that people move on for a reason, and however much I may miss an old lover, it would be putting myself in a weird situation to try and reconnect to the way things once were.
This is just my situation, I know, but I change so much as the years go by, and whilst my old lover would get a greatly improved version of me if we hooked up again now, I'd feel weird about it — like I'd regressed. Not a reason not to do it, I suppose, but.... They wouldn't get the same person, and I'm betting that neither would I.
Yes..better the devil you know..?
I haven't done it exactly..as in returned to reprising a relationship with an ex.
However on two ex girlfriends..it seemed almost impossible to extricate ourselves completely because sexually speaking we found it difficult not to have sexual relations even though we were no longer together..its silly but..the love of body didn't die with the end of the love of mind or direction.

If both of you feel like it was wrong to separate or if you miss each other, then by all meas, but if you are only returning to each other because of familiarity, do not. Familiarity brings the problems back, while actually missing them can help you realize where you were wrong and try to fix the flaws you previously had.
Yes! If there were a way to rate this answer 5 stars I would.
I have done it. All the old issues are still there. If it crashed and burned once, it will do the sam
e--only worse! the next time.
Do people really change? Somehow I doubt it, we evolve but our core personality is there by the time we reach early adulthood most of what we are is fixed. So whatever didn't work before still won't work if we give it a second chance. Sometimes we just want the familiar even though we know it isn't good for us.
Why not ? As long as they got along.
Not every situation is the same.
Why not? Some of the most lasting marriages that I’ve seen are the same ones that repeatedly broke up and reformed. Of course, there’s the added value of drama.
I suppose it could work, never has for me.
Sure, after a little while apart you forget the things that drove you apart -- until they all appear again,, Not generally a good idea, in my opinion.
In general I would say, no, their ex-lovers for a reason.
