What can you tell me about a break-up and getting back together?

Answer by  alz (2329)

Sometimes breaking up and taking some time apart can actually help a relationship and facilitate a more successful union when you get back together. The time apart gives you time to reflect on things that were going well and other things that need changing. Make sure you are getting back together for the right reasons, not just because you're lonely.

Break ups usually happen for a reason, and as much as I adored my ex and was upset over him breaking up with me, it most likely would never work if we were to get back together again. It hurts but is usually best left like that.

It is an enormously bad idea in most cases. If something escalated to the point where a breakup was involved, if you get over it and get back together, there will often be a lingering bitterness over the original breakup.

It's usually a bad idea. Remember the break up happened for a good reason. Unless that reason has been resolved, the relationship won't work any better the second time.
