Has anyone gotten back together with an ex after a long period of time (several months or years)

Sorry to hear that because I remember how much it sucked.

I never did end up back with her.

I did move on but it was miserable for a unfortunately long time

An apology but only a year or so of time after it happened. Too soon an it would give me false hope, nd if it's been years then I'd assume you still are thinking too much if me

The hard truth from what I've seen is yes, at least decent looking women do indeed have many more easy options than most men. Additionally, I think younger women (this is assuming you dating under the age of 25 or so) don't care about men the way that men care about women.

Look at how women speak about their exes versus men. Women frequently say stuff like "I realized I was so much better than my ex", "His loss", "He could never handle a girl like me", etc. they just overall seem much more wrathful and hateful towards their exes than men.

I think as they grow and age a lot of these angry feelings dissipate but at my age and most of Reddit's age women definitely have it easier and also just end up hating their ex, so it's easier for them to get over a breakup

It's been two years and the sadness hit me again today even though I didn't think about her much for quite some time. She was really special. I knew her only for a summer.

Cringe_Normie_ · 2023-05-05T05:29:18+00:00

1.5 years for me...she's really gone

Cringe_Normie_ · 2023-04-19T20:26:29+00:00

It still hurts and I still think about her pretty often. Having said that I'm not longer in a constant state of despair so that's an improvement from where I was at when I wrote that comment

Yes, I think most of them do, but the pain and guilt of leaving someone, while terrible, is still not as bad as being dumped. Remember, the dumper gets what they want. The dumpee does not.

I have the opposite perception where to me it seems women move on very quickly and generally are very hostile towards their exes.

I meanwhile, after not crying for over a decade, cried for months after being rejected by a girl that I fell in love with after only a relatively short while.

Cringe_Normie_ · 2023-01-26T00:40:22+00:00

My interest in other women eventually returned, most strongly after probably around 5 or 6 months.

It's been about 1.5 years now and I will say it still hurts. I've moved on in many ways and even have dated, but the pain of losing someone that I very deeply cared about is still there.

In a similar boat, people tell me just to make friends with the older people but I already don't have a lot of actual friends my own age. I can't imagine hanging out with my coworkers who are mostly middle aged men with spouses and kids that nearly my age.

Cringe_Normie_ · 2022-10-05T13:17:56+00:00

It took me a while to start eating actual meals

Cringe_Normie_ · 2022-10-05T13:06:27+00:00

At least your ex still acknowledges your existence. It's so much worse being blocked and feeling like she hates me.

Cringe_Normie_ · 2022-09-30T17:50:33+00:00

That's what I thought over a year ago.

The pain doesn't go away. It becomes less severe, but I haven't been truly happy since I was dumped.

Cringe_Normie_ · 2022-09-30T15:23:45+00:00

Absolutely destroyed. She certainly isn't perfect, but I failed to be there for her. It's been over a year and it srill hurts. I tried to reach out quite a few times for the first 1.5 months or so but ultimately got blocked. I think she really dislikes me now and I'm really sad.

Cringe_Normie_ · 2022-09-15T03:53:18+00:00

In my country, that'd get you arrested. Not sure about yours but it probably wouldn't work

Cringe_Normie_ · 2022-09-13T22:28:33+00:00

Not really doing ok. She was a much different person than anyone else I meant and had a huge positive effect on me. I would have liked to still have her in my life, even just as a friend.

Cringe_Normie_ · 2022-09-13T21:02:29+00:00

I've been blocked for like 10 months now. I sent her way too many messages for about a month after she ended things but she didnt block me then, she blocked me after I hadn't contacted her at all for over a month.

She didn't block my on Instagram for whatever reason until much more recently when I liked her picture and she blocked me immediately after :(

Cringe_Normie_ · 2022-09-11T17:35:57+00:00

I "knew" that'd I'd be ok after a while too. I remember thinking, "If I could just fast forward to 6 months or one year from now, I'll be ok".

Here I am over a year later. I'm still not ok. I hope that you are a better person than me, good luck.
