It does happen that couples break up through various circumstances to get together, not very often, but it does happen. There are stories of people separated by WW2 who found their way back together, and I have a family member who was separated from their beloved for 2 years through an emmigration before getting back together, many years ago, they are married 10 years now.
I have a happy ending story where an ex of mine and I stayed in love despite the relationship not working, and our love found the right kind of relationship to express itself, which is through friendship. We are very close and it doesn't get in the way of our romantic relationships, it just works, and I consider it one of my life's great successes.

I personally know of no situation where that has worked out. The closest I know were a married couple, who split, then came back together for 2 years and then split again.
There are bound to be some couples somewhere who have split and got back together, but this will be very few. And in truth, you have to look at the problems a relationship was having, rather than just look around for couples who got back together. Each couple has their own problems, and they are what matter. If those problems are too big and can't be overcome, there is no chance of getting back together. If they're small, perhaps they can be overcome.

 It seems what you are really asking is whether there is hope. Whether there is a chance that you will get back together with that special person. Just a guess, but am I right?
The thing about relationships, love, and the like is that there are no percentages or guarantees. And yet sometimes that is all we want.
I can say with confidence that you won't find many who posted a question during a time of heartache, had a happy ending, then returned to Dear Cupid to tell everybody how awesome everything turned out. More likely they just move on and never return to tell us. :-)
That isn't to say that sometimes things do have a happy ending!
You asked if anyone had a happy ending even when it seemed impossible, "who lost [their] ex". Some people "lose" their ex to an affair, or abuse, or just plain old rejection. Sometimes, the happy ending is NOT getting back together.
If you went into a Bar-B-Que restaurant and asked for salmon, you might get a blank stare back. ;-)
I found Dear Cupid during a tough break-up, and the words of encouragement I received meant SO much. Then I began reading and responding, and saw that the community here has something special. There is a lot of honesty and genuine concern for others. And sometimes it takes a difficult situation or period in life to make you realize how important that is.
