Are you thinking about getting back together with an ex? While it may be tempting, ask yourself these 6 questions before you do!
—
Deciding whether to get back together with an ex is tricky. You might be thinking “what if he was the one that got away?” or “did I break up too soon?” “What would it be like to try again?”
While there isn’t one solution to the internal debate concerning this dilemma, here are 6 things you might want to think about before getting back with your ex.
6 Things to Consider Before Getting Back Together With an Ex
Ask yourself these 6 questions:
- Why did we break up?
- Have I given myself enough time to process the breakup?
- Am I romanticizing our relationship or seeing it realistically?
- Do I miss him or being in a relationship?
- Has my ex really changed?
- Can I forgive my ex?
Consider how much time has passed since your breakup. If it’s been a month or a few weeks, give yourself more time to think about whether you actually miss your ex or you’re simply lonely and miss the best parts of your relationship.
If it’s been a year or more, you’ve had time to process the breakup. You might have dated others, and you’re remembering how great things were with your ex. Focus on what didn’t work, because we can often forget the big issues. If you believe those issues can be overcome, you have a chance of things working out this time.
If you do get back together, it’s important to be transparent and open about what agreements need to be put in place to make sure you don’t repeat the same mistakes you made the first time around.
If you ask yourself these six questions before reuniting, and you’re intentional about how you’re getting back together with an ex, your relationship will have a far better chance of success this time. Many of the best relationships are do-overs. But, without considering the consequences of your actions and whether this relationship has the possibility of thriving, the likelihood of success is very low.
