This is a topic that often sparks heated debates among friends and acquaintances. The question that lingers is, “Should I get back with my ex?”—and the responses you’ll likely get will vary. However, one thing is for certain: most people will advise you not to go back to an ex. They’ll claim it’s not worth it, that you’re just delaying the inevitable, or that it will only lead to more pain.
When you think about it, it may seem logical not to reconnect with an ex. After all, there are millions of other women out there, many of whom are likely a better match than your ex. But here's the thing: many people offering this advice don’t fully understand the situation. The truth is, if you're considering giving your ex another chance, it's because you still have feelings for her, right? Even if they realize this, no one can truly assess your feelings as you can. Only you know deep down whether getting back together is the right move. It's crucial to analyze your past relationship, reflect on where things went wrong, and identify areas you could have improved to make things work.
Examples of Possible Issues in Your Past Relationship:
- Excessive jealousy.
- Clinginess – not giving her enough space.
- Too much romance, too soon.
- Neglecting your own appearance or behavior.
- And many more...
Clearly, there are a variety of factors that could have contributed to the breakup. It’s important to look inward and figure out what really caused the relationship to deteriorate. Self-awareness is key.
Should You Reconnect with Your Ex?
Here’s a point I want to emphasize: don’t try to get back together unless you truly care for her. Sometimes, we find ourselves missing the physical aspect of a relationship (like sex) rather than the emotional connection. If you’re considering reconnecting because the sex was great, think twice. Sex alone is not enough to rebuild a relationship. Eventually, the passion fades, and if there’s no love or mutual respect, things will become unbearable, and she may break up with you again.
So, ask yourself: Do you still love her for who she is? If your feelings are purely based on physical attraction, you might want to rethink your decision.
Should I Get Back Together with My Ex?
From years of personal experience, I don’t recommend getting back with an ex. You already know her inside and out—her flaws, her preferences, and what makes her tick. This familiarity, while comforting, is also limiting. When you start a relationship from scratch, you get to experience the thrill of discovering someone new. That excitement can’t be replicated when you’re picking up where you left off.
Even if some time has passed and she has changed, there’s a chance she hasn’t grown in meaningful ways. Some people stay stuck in their old habits, making it even more likely you’ll find yourself disappointed once you realize she hasn’t really changed. The same issues—possessiveness, bad habits—could resurface, leading to regret.
Take a step back, evaluate your true feelings, and think logically. If you notice meaningful change in her and you believe she is not the same person who caused you to lose attraction or admiration, then consider giving it another shot. But if you see she still has the same flaws, it's probably better not to pursue the relationship again.
How Do I Win Back My Ex Girlfriend?
Rebuilding a relationship is often harder than winning someone over for the first time. It requires a lot of patience and dedication. In many cases, your ex will put up emotional barriers, especially if she’s created negative associations with you. Trust me—I’ve been there. When I tried to win my ex back, it took me five long months. Initially, she didn’t want to see me at all. I had made mistakes, I had been weak, and I had allowed myself to be mistreated. But after months of distancing myself, something surprising happened: she came after me.
Why? Because she realized I was the only one who truly cared about her and was willing to make her happy. However, by the time she came back into my life, I had already moved on. It was too late. I was better off alone.
Here’s the thing: if you want to win her back, take it slow. Start by rebuilding a friendship, even if you don’t want just that. Keep her guessing and let her think about you—even subconsciously. When you make her wonder about your intentions, you create an opportunity for her to rethink her feelings for you.
Does She Still Have Feelings for Me?
This is a tough question to answer, but the longer your relationship lasted, the more likely she still has feelings for you. Over time, people become accustomed to their partner's presence, and the absence of that person can create a deep emotional void. I’ve gone through this myself, and I can tell you that it’s common for someone to still have feelings for their ex long after the relationship ends. If your relationship lasted years, chances are she hasn’t completely moved on.
However, if your relationship was short-lived, she might forget about you within months. But again, it depends. If you made a real impact on her life, she may think about you long after the breakup.
What Will She Do After the Breakup to Forget About Me?
Most likely, she’ll try to distract herself. You’ll see her out partying with friends, posting endless photos on social media, trying to show she’s living her best life. But deep down, she misses you. She might even start dating someone new shortly after the breakup, but this is just a temporary way for her to cope. If she starts dating someone else, it doesn’t mean she’s forgotten about you—it’s just her attempt to fill the void.
In my experience, when someone tries to move on too quickly, they often realize that their feelings for their ex haven’t disappeared. I’ve seen it happen: an ex comes back even while in a new relationship because, deep down, they realize that no one can replace the unique connection you had.
Final Thoughts:
If you’re thinking about getting back with your ex, weigh your options carefully. If it’s just about the physical side of things, don’t waste your time. But if it’s about love and genuine feelings, then take action—slowly and strategically. Just remember: there are many other women out there who might be even better suited for you. Don’t settle for an old relationship when there are so many new possibilities waiting for you.
