We don't think of other things this way. If we end up quitting a job eventually, we don't conclude that it was a mistake to accept it. We move knowing we'll probably move again. Getting back in touch with my ex made me view our relationship as a success. Our romantic relationship may be over, but I've gotten a friend, a lot of self-discovery, and the experience of loving someone — which is kind of what life's all about — out of it.
Even if we're not in love, having any kind of love for somebody is worth celebrating. Our dynamic is exactly right for where we are right now. This gives me a great perspective on my current relationship, too. I know that even if we break up, I'll still probably be glad it happened in the end. About two months after reconnecting with my ex, he found an article I'd written about how I recognized that he was manipulative and got out.
I'd been hesitant to even write it, since it depicted him in a negative light. The reason he found the article was that another person he was dating accused him of being manipulative, and he was googling information on that topic. He admitted that everything I'd written was true. This helped me get over my fear that I was being unfair by speaking honestly about my experience.
The real wrongdoing, after all, is being abusive, not talking about someone's abuse. Discussing a negative experience you've had in a relationship isn't gossipy; it's helpful for your own healing and for others in similar situations.

She says: "I slapped him on instinct and never spoke to him again.
They still hated each other. Whatbeard says he saw his ex who dumped him three years prior at the bar he had gotten her the job at.
She pulled up a stool and said she had married and gotten pregnant in less than a year after leaving him. When he asked why she had left him, she said she didn't know and wouldn't explain. He adds: "She seemed amused at the fact that I had spiraled It was the most infuriating and audacious thing I have ever seen. They ended up working together again and fell in love again. Reepthecreep says his relationship ended once they came back from deployment and went their separate ways.
Then three years later, they were reunited through a second tour. He explains: "A couple months in I decided to finally tell her how I felt.
Two and a half years later and we're still sharing the same bed. As long as your emotions and anxiety are running wild, you will likely have a hard time reconnecting with your ex. You will immediately move onto your next concern—which is learning how to make your ex regret breaking up with you. Once you get to this point, my personal suggestion is to let your ex text you more than you text your ex. For every two times your ex initiates texting, you should initiate a texting conversation once.
So wait for your ex to naturally feel the desire to invest more and grab your attention—instead of you demanding his or hers. When your ex calls you, talk to him or her like a friend. Let your ex set the tempo of the conversation the way he or she wants—whereas you focus on reciprocation. It shows that your ex still cares about you to some degree and that you still play an important role in his or her life. As long as you need your ex to be happy, no matter what you do, getting your ex back will cause you a ton of anxiety.
In doing so, you will eliminate all the post-breakup mistakes you can possibly make and maximize your chances of reconciliation. Not only is digging up your romantic past a complete waste of time, but it can also be destructive to your marriage. So unless your husband or wife is okay with you talking to your ex, be very careful about reconnecting with him or her. Your ex could be coming back into your life for a reason. To reconnect and get to know you again. My father was one of them, for example.
So without going into too many details, these reconciliations do occur. Reconnecting with an ex after 20 years or more is so easy because the ex-couple has no expectations of each other. Everything is new, fresh, and exciting—so they can easily reconnect simply by catching up over coffee.
Provided there are more opportunities for meetups, things escalate naturally without them having to say and do anything magical.
Do you want to get to know your ex again and see if you can reconnect on a deeper level? Did you reconnect with your ex or still planning to? Post your comment below this article. Hello friend. Another great post.
