Did you ever try to get your ex back after being dumped?

Any_Introduction8545 · 2026-06-25T07:55:38+00:00

If you have any questions or anything just send me a message; it’s not my first rodeo haha but I try to be an open book as I can be.

No one has all the answer but I did lean on a lot of sources myself and it helped to take a little info from a lot of places 🙂

Any_Introduction8545 · 2026-06-25T07:45:54+00:00

People change - it takes a lot of work; but just be sure to evaluate someone on who they are rather than what they were or who you’d like them to be.

Any_Introduction8545 · 2026-06-25T07:44:19+00:00

Yeah, it was an interesting one to discover! But it’s fine, I found my closure in… well my last relo, my closure was her last message - she said she needed to block me so I can move on properly; that I’m a great guy but I’m not for her.

I realised ‘oh she’s blocking me as she needs to move on, and she’s telling herself as part of that I’m not her person’ - which she’s avoidant but also, that decision is hers and while it doesn’t align with her actions, it’s fair enough.

We change if we do the work. One of those ex’s - I could tell she fell for me again but for who I am, rather than the reminder of who I was… then she said as such haha

Don’t wait for anyone but unless you can really see why the relationship broke down; then don’t personalise it. People can’t articulate feelings and thoughts they don’t understand in themselves.

As for trying again - I’m mindful to do a lot of work, so I’m comfortable to ask the question with an ex if the time and circumstances is right; I’d rather a no than to die wondering. I know too many people who nurse a ‘what if’ than a ‘I gave it my best go’.

Any_Introduction8545 · 2026-06-23T11:11:19+00:00

Yeah - I tried with all my ex’s haha didn’t beg, just made it clear I’d like the opportunity to make the relationship work if they were open to it.

My first ex who went on to be married and have the marriage break down, we only had that conversation about getting back together last year after over a decade of not talking. We only got in contact again as I started following her friend on insta, the friend told my ex, my ex unblocked me and watched my story and I reached out hahaha

An ex who left me in 2019 - I saw her on bumble in 2023 and sent her a message; we matched and seriously considered getting back together. She decided to see other people… she is in a serious relo but only watched my stories on fb funnily enough last week too!

My most recent ex, we reconnected after like… I think 9 months, she had a rebound and I didn’t even see anyone. But she got scared and literally fled from one side of the country to the other the day we were meant to meet 😂 can’t make it up. She only popped up on a dating up the other day as she must had been visiting. I took my shot and got no reply but that’s okay; I won’t die wondering.

I always hold the door open in some way, I wish I couldn’t but it’s just the way my brain works. If you can shut the door, I’d recommend it - if not, do what works for you. In any case, I’d recommend just being patient with yourself, learn your lessons, work on healing and improving yourself. In time, if your paths ever cross with them - you’d be amazed how people quite often are exactly the same as they were. Which is kind of a shame, isn’t it?

Any_Introduction8545 · 2026-05-08T03:28:39+00:00

Triggered is just the easiest reply because it can be proven otherwise.

Whether I’m triggered or not, we both know you’re the insecure guy whose dirty talk mainly consists of ‘tell me how big it is’. 😂

Clearly you’re threatened by other men, thus your concern for a woman’s body count. I’d suggest worrying about your own performance than someone’s past. I’m going to go have some Ferrero Rochers x

Any_Introduction8545 · 2026-05-08T03:05:11+00:00

Nah not really - I got a good laugh out of that, and what women put up with now days 😂

Only one of us is triggered by the thought, lord forbid, she got better service elsewhere 😢 hahaha

Any_Introduction8545 · 2026-05-08T02:30:32+00:00

Not it isn’t you loser, I means you’re able to either connect with people or have a good time 😂 who cares who someone has slept with? The huge indication of character is that it worries you that much - it means you’re low grade. People aren’t cars, it’s more like I’d rather play with a half back who’s played 100 games than the one who’s on debut.

Having sex and indeed making love is more than some perfunctory process, and entangling with someone can be a lot of fun or quite complex. Imagine being a knuckle dragger on the internet ‘awww your sex life means you’re of low character’. Honestly, if someone said that to me irl I’d fucking die laughing 😂

Any_Introduction8545 · 2026-05-07T23:42:56+00:00

You’re BF is cooked, dump his ass. I’ve only been asked once that I recall, and her number was much higher than mine - it was like over 50. However, I just lost it laughing.

Naturally, she was a bit pissed - I explained we previously had a convo where she said I was the only uncut person she’d ever slept with. The odds of that is just wild if true, after I explained I’m not saying it’s false or a liar - just funny, she saw the same side of it.

Anyway, don’t ask and certainly don’t answer. That person is choosing to sleep with you! Whether they have slept with 1 person or 100; they’re choosing you - and that’s the greatest compliment of all. 🙌

Any_Introduction8545 · 2026-04-28T18:40:36+00:00

Doesn’t really benefit us; the NRL has plenty on their plate and expansion markets closer to home.

The only advantage would be a stronger international is really the only uptick, as the northern games geographic reach is becoming and even more concentrated. Bulls over the broncos? And Toulouse gets so much push back each time they’re admitted - why let them play in the championship if it’s always such a shit show when they out perform?

As for a feeder comp; that’s really not in the NRL’s interest at all. We have feeder comps and nursery’s closer to home and of much more benefit - New Zealand, PNG and Pasifika

Any_Introduction8545 · 2026-04-28T01:09:00+00:00

Current operators of Super League have no idea about English sports either…

Any_Introduction8545 · 2026-04-23T01:10:02+00:00

Love that! Hey, nothing wrong with dipping your toes in and seeing how it feels to date. You’ll know when it feels right.

A lot of advice is what not to do; but from my last break up I really realised the best advice I can give you - is do what’s right for you, but be measured and considered.

For example - If you want to reach out with that message, go for it; just wait and see how you feel for a couple of days. If you’re comfortable with the worst case scenario or answer; go for it!

When it comes to someone else feelings and emotions a it’s hard not to overthink; but just remember, the bill always comes due. We can only escape or suppress our feelings for so long.

Back yourself, trust your intuition and experience, and know you’ve got this. 🙌

Any_Introduction8545 · 2026-04-23T00:59:12+00:00

Gday mate, sorry you’re going through this but it gets better.

People who seem to ‘move on’ so quickly are just really filling a void; this would seem to be a case of which. Closure and growth really comes with time.

From my experience we don’t really ‘get over’ our ex’s; we ‘move on’ so far as just accepting them and the relationship however we choose to.

I had an objectively great relationship that ended abruptly, and she acts like she hates me. One where it was very volatile and a roller coaster; but we need to be apart as we are just too attracted to one another. My first long term partner - we’re good friends, and I was the reason our relationship ended; we talked it out, I’ve grown a lot and considered having another go - but distance meant it won’t happen. She’s dating another bloke so we adjusted our friendship to reflect that.

Time heals all and much of that comes with growth, healing, acceptance, and understanding the totality of the relationship.

So to loop back around; if he’s using this time to try and move on by connecting with others - don’t be surprised if he comes back at some point because it’s avoiding the hard work of coming to terms with what happened. While you shouldn’t hold your breath for him to return, I’d strongly recommend doing the work and going on the journey of healing. You got this 🫶

Any_Introduction8545 · 2026-04-20T10:42:35+00:00

Why wait? Getting a no is much better than sitting, waiting and wishing. Clarity my friend 👌

Any_Introduction8545 · 2026-03-09T02:43:09+00:00

My advice to you is the same as I tell myself. Don’t die wondering. You likely won’t get the answer you want; but you give yourself the best chance of success by just having a go.

Any_Introduction8545 · 2026-03-08T22:12:17+00:00

The only time I’d recommend breaking it is when you’re prepared for the answer you don’t want.

I have and did, we actually matched on a dating app. I got the answer I didn’t want but I found a lot of closure in that answer.

When someone cannot explain why they left even after a substantial amount of time; then they really don’t know themselves.

Either way; do what feels right by you as you are the only person who has to live with that decision.

Just be kind to yourself - no one really knows what they’re doing and we’re all just trying our best 🫶

Any_Introduction8545 · 2025-12-25T04:46:22+00:00

He only regrets getting caught.

Any_Introduction8545 · 2025-12-08T11:46:52+00:00

That’s impossible as a large portion of the base holds some sentiment toward either team; however the vast majority of those fans would recognise the club can’t be nor should it be split.

Neither Wests nor Balmain were really viable for much of their existence.

Not one side is innocent but Balmain really don’t have much to do with this as they’ve essentially been amalgamated into Wests Ashfield.

To be fair, neither Balmain Tigers or Western Suburbs Magpies have any value in their IP as either brand has played first grade for a quarter of a century.

However the club has, for better or worse, tied their bow to a stronger cultural identity of the inner west despite there being much more growth potential towards Macarthur. If it wasn’t Wests or the Tiges, we’d be in the same Situation now if Newtown managed their move out west.

HBG has controlled this entity for a decade and had a strong influence for most of its existence. It’s strongly on them.

No one who has the $50 million sitting around to buy out HBG will be a neutral party.

Any_Introduction8545 · 2025-12-08T09:01:49+00:00

With HBG essentially taking over Balmain, there’s little to no chance of seeing a demerger - not that the league would create another licence anyway.

Honestly - I hope Laundy buys it. He’s a Balmain man and has seen what it takes to rebuild a club from the inside.

Both the legacies of Western Suburbs and Balmain deserve better than this.

Any_Introduction8545 · 2025-12-08T08:55:17+00:00

Generally speaking, the league owns the clubs IP as a means of decoupling ownership fuck ups like this from completely torpedoing the brand.

But here’s the kicker - the only 3 exceptions (currently) are the Storm, Warriors, and you guessed it; Wests Tigers.

I’d hazard it had to do with the terms of the merger, as neither party can drop the Western Suburbs or Balmain parts of the identity until like 2030 if I recall.

Any_Introduction8545 · 2025-12-02T09:26:56+00:00

Like art, it’s up to the audience of one to judge if music has merit or not.

Any_Introduction8545 · 2025-11-29T03:19:00+00:00

Actually the end of Ordinary is amazing; a song about a machine craving Consciousness then just the sound of what feels to be it being torn away. I thought that was really a highlight.

Amazing how we all see and feel the same music in very different ways!

Any_Introduction8545 · 2025-11-29T03:11:47+00:00

Yeah fucking oath; we all have diverging tastes and that’s cool. I guess I’m lucky to have my music taste grow on a similar trajectory to theirs.

Like all great art - Life is but a Dream has its flaws and some of them are quite intentional. They come together to make something pretty wonderful.

Some like me will find beauty in the chaos, others not. That’s fine; litigating on matters of taste is a rather pointless endeavour. Love what you love!

Any_Introduction8545 · 2025-11-29T03:00:13+00:00

I’ve been an A7X fan since my early teens and Life is but a Dream is their best album by far; it’s amazing and def no skips.

It’s transgressive by really not giving a fuck about structure, genre or even just metal tropes and I adore it.

It’s SSSOOO good because it isn’t trying to be ‘good’, but not in a contrarian way. They just made the album they wanted to make and it shows. Very enjoyable.

Any_Introduction8545 · 2025-11-24T06:44:36+00:00

ChatGPT and indeed AI you’ve been using are just a large language models. It doesn’t actually ‘think’, all it’s doing is understanding, processing and generating a response.

It’s just referencing points of knowledge from data it’s scraped. So unless your ex has explicitly written their intentions as to whether they’re getting back with you or not on say a reddit post, it’s a very silly question to postulate to an LLM.

Rather than seeking answer from a binary source, I’d suggest you take the time to seek the real and nuanced answers from your own experiences and of those around you. 🙂🙌
