The thought of taking your ex back should never cross your mind if your breakup is still fresh and you’re still recovering. But if a considerable amount of time has passed, and you’re still finding that you get all soft and mushy when you think them then you might entertain the thought of getting back together from time to time.

Usually, we would say this is a huge mistake. You broke up for a reason, and no matter how silly that reason might seem, it was still a good excuse to end it on one side or both sides. Maybe they broke your heart, maybe they moved to another city, maybe they just didn’t see a future in the short term circumstances. If you’re entertaining thoughts of reuniting, there are here the only good reasons to even consider getting back together:

You think there’s still something there

We’re not just talking about the fact that you and your ex still talk, we’re referring to the way you two communicate. Is there still a spark? Do you feel it every time you see him or her? Do you get the impression they feel the same way? Perhaps you left on terms where a lot was left unsaid, and you are lacking a sense of closure or a good reason to move forward. You try and try to remind yourself why it ended, but the more you remind yourself, the more you find yourself thinking that a lot has been left unanswered. Some people usually feel this way after an ex has left the city, or is taking time to focus on their career or studies.

You’ve actually dated other people

You’ve tried being single. You really have, but everyone you meet lacks that connection you shared with your ex – it could be either sexual or on a best friends basis. No one gets your strange quirks and no one else knows how to make you cum in 2 minutes quite like your ex did. If you’ve explored what else the world has to offer and still find yourself dreaming of your ex, then it might be time to try reconciling your ruined relationship.

Both of you have changed for the better

Whatever caused your breakup in the first place is now old news, and you two have both taken the time to grow as individuals and reflect on your various flaws that contributed to the original breakup. If you were too needy, you’ve taken this time to focus on yourself and immerse yourself in your passions and hobbies thereby avoiding the troubled path of clinginess. Whatever the reasons were, both of you have overcome them and now find yourselves in a favorable position to start afresh. If both partners are willing to give it another shot, then we say go for it. Wipe the slate clean, and avoid the mistakes from before.
