Another pea with no opinion on Jen and Ben but agree exes can reconcile in certain circumstances. Sometimes time and distance give people an opportunity to mature and develop a deeper perspective about life. The problem is many ex-couples fail to change established dynamics when they reconcile. You can be self aware AF and still have a failed relationship if self awareness isn’t integrated into relationship dynamics. Exes who have a subsequently successful relationship engage in the difficult work of building better communication patterns, etc. as they reconcile. It’s sometimes easier to just start anew with someone you don’t share a possibly negative history with. I do think ex couples that are successful benefit from a strengthened bond based on shared history though. How is someone with a deleted account able to post on this thread? Interesting.... They must have deleted after they posted?

I’ve known or known of more than one person who married, divorced and then remarried the ex. Most went on to divorce again.
I had a great aunt who got as far as the courthouse steps with a guy and then they decided not to get married. They both went on to marry other people and have children. They both lost their spouses and then reconnected even though he was in California and she was in Illinois. 50 years after they almost got married, they did marry. She moved to California and they seemed to be very happy. Unfortunately she died just a few years after, but she loved the new life she had.

So many factors! I’ve seen it work and fail. It depends on personal growth

Well with my ex it’s past timelines which they are still entertaining and I have chosen to move forward, so if I were to take them back they would be holding me back. And that’s not somewhere I’m choosing to go.

Jennifer G is too wise to take him back but I kind of think they’d be good together again. They were married twelve years and have a family. Maybe he could stop being an ass and just grow up and deserve her.

sometimes a second chance is worth it to dispel all lingering questions and to see if you have learned from your past mistakes the first time go-around. then you don't waste time on the what ifs. it either works out or it doesn't. at least you will know.

I would never give any of my exes a second chance but I could see how you might depending on the circumstances. If you were together in high school or college and enough time has passed for both of you to grow up and into yourselves or if you broke up because of extenuating circumstances like long distance or a dream job & that was no longer in play, it might be possible.
An ex of my husband's has tried to get back in contact with him no less than three times since we got together. She was the ex before me, and he has not spoken to her since their breakup. Since he doesn't have social media and they have no mutual friends, she has to find other ways to reach out to him and try to get him to respond. I know what a catch he is & what she did to screw it up so I understand her missing him & wanting to shoot her shot again.
