My ex broke things off with me. Does anyone have stories of reconciliation after being broken up for a while, and the either one or both parties saw differnet people? I love my ex girlfriend more than anything, but she's seeing someone else at this time. I'm doing my best to keep my distance, yet stay in her life and hope for something down the road.

As someone else has answered, I'm in a similar situation. My fiance and I split after 7 years together. We had the house, dog, wedding booked, etc, but we seemed to become friends and nothing more. What I now think is that we could have tried to get back on track again but didn't know how to and I regret this bitterly. I am now engaged to a great man(my ex has a live in partner also)and have a house with him but there is part of me that aches for my ex and wishes things could've worked out for us. As much as I love him and miss him, I realise that you can't make someone love you back and if it's going to happen and you get back together down the line, then all well and good, but you can't force it to happen or put your life on hold for it. I've had to accept my regrets for the past and for the hurt my ex and I caused each other otherwise I'll never be happy without him. Time to move on and look to the future.

Hi. I'm feeling the same way you are. My ex and I broke 2 but neither of us are dating yet.He mentioned how he'd like to see me again one day, and i said i would like that too. See, we live really far apart. Anyway the man that did the closing for my dad's house a few years back told me this love story based on his life. He said he was married to the most gorgeous and best woman in the world, that he loved her so much. Then he proceeded to tell me that him and his wife used to date when they were younger but things didn't work out so they broke up. He said he never forgot her. They both dated other people, married other people, and even had kids! Both their marriages didn't work out and one day they saw eachother again. The spark was still there and today she is the wife he speaks so highly of. Maybe you're not thinking about marrying your ex, but if these people are together, there is hope for anything you desire. Good luck! =)

Yos agony auntYes people sometimes do get back together after a situation like the one you describe. But it is rare.

However, waiting around for her to 'hopefully' change her mind is a recipe for misery for you, since the most likely thing is that it won't happen. The best thing you can do is move on, and put the idea of reconciliation behind you. Then if it happens, it happens, but you're not putting your life on hold for it.
