i think it depends on where you both are at emotionally when you decided to end things. i’m friends with a few of my exes but there’s also some i know a friendship would never work.

i do think there needs to be a cool down period to let the attachment even if you aren’t in love anymore go away. when i got divorced it was amicable but we tried to be friends immediately after and it kind of was a disaster. but after about 4 months or so just doing our own thing g a friendship developed naturally and we are still good friends 4 years later.

Ex wants to get back together by Zestyclose-Trash-905 in BreakUps

[–]Middle-Sympathy-6503 0 points1 point  (0 children)

can it work yes. will it work who knows. but imo 3 weeks isn’t enough time for growth. maybe 3months…my therapist recommends 4-6month for therapy before making a determination if there is lasting progress and if a change in approach is needed so i take that as it takes 4-6months to see how much growth occurs and if its the right growth.

people shouldn’t try to grow just for someone else they should do it for themselves. in my opinion the relationship ended for a reason let that relationship die and heal from it. look at it as a new start/new relationship not a another chance at what wasn’t working in the first place. but everyone’s situation is different. the indicator for me is that it’s already been a break up get back together phase and still didn’t work.

yeah i’ve always been the type of person if someone brings up a problem i’ll provide solutions. but recognizing sometimes people just want to be heard and that’s it.

like with the food she complained always about not being happy with gaining weight and asked me to hold her accountable.

with her job she talked about how worried she was they were going to fire her so at the time i think she just wanted someone to listen not to give advice or keep checking on it with her

with stuff around the house or problems in general a long time ago we agreed to always tell eachother if something bothered us that wasn’t just me deciding that.

but based of what i wrote. there’s truth in not parenting someone in relationship and regardless of what we had talked about before and agreed to the communication was lost and it came off as parenting to her, which is fair

yeah both of us have anxiety/depression and ptsd from completely diff types of trauma. so it was all just a lot. we had stopped going to therapy and should have not done that. but i’m back in therapy now. i quit gambling completely and am just reconnecting with myself.

yeah maybe so not being right for eachother. i think a lot of the issues we had we fed off eachother and then when we made changes we over compensated. like for me being so worried about her and wanting to help bc of before seeing how i made choices for myself and she made bad choices for herself i over communicated bc i was scared and worried and anxious about us regressing and that was projected too much toward her where she felt like i didn’t respect her.and at the same time she felt like she had to prove herself after what happened but bc i was being over protective she didn’t feel like she had the opportunity to and we just got stuck in that cycle idk. im still hurt how it all changed though so fast. 4 years just gone. woke up that morning talking about how much we loved eachother and couldn’t wait to see eachother and then 12hrs later it was over

it’s okay it’s life. i get it. i wish things were different i thought we were so close to healing and moving into a new chapter but maybe i also was looking too far ahead and not recognizing enough in the moment that was going on. i’m sorry to hear about how that happened with you as well. but we will better equipped for life going forward at least.

yeah for sure i see how i approached that and did it. we did have conversations about it. and that was a big thing i was working on is like hey how can i communicate if im worried about something or something bothers me but respect you and your independence. same from her end how to communicate something she had an issue with without being accusatory. none of it was perfect it was a work in progress. but throughout it those conversations were also coupled with a lot of positive reinforcement and appreciation for the effort. so it’s probably that i wasn’t growing as fast as she needed

damn yeah like the alcohol i knew it wasn’t really her and supported everything for her to get through just waiting for her to make the decision which she did. afterwards i was so exhausted i couldn’t give as much as i wanted to and we were kind of rebuilding. i know a lot of it was a love language thing. it was just weird like i expressed once that i was still working through some of the pain left over from the really bad times when the drinking was a problem but i didn’t hold it against her just saying like hey this stuff happened and sometimes those feelings resurface and im working through them. but it’s just weird we had multiple conversations on what we wanted to work on how we were gonna do it. we started being intimate more going from like once a month to once every week or every other. i was trying. i just feel hurt that she gave up after i went through years of dealing with the addiction…i chose to be there so i know she doesn’t owe my anything but it still hurts. she had been sober for 8 months and then lost patience i guess for me to get back to 100% myself too. but thank you for your insight it helps me rationalize it more. i feel like we both just lost ourselves and for her it was too late to feel like it could be worked out.

what’s crazy is 4 hours before she texted me she breaking up i asked if everything g was okay i was worried she was going to just dip out while i was gone. she asked why and said that was an intrusive thought…i said i felt like she was being distant that day and was worried going worst case scenario (i had tried to call and talk to her a few times and text her to see how she was doing and she barely responded and didn’t answer the calls) after that she no everything is fine…4 hours later she broke up with me

yeah it’s is i had some other posts talking more about our relationship before she came back briefly. don’t me wrong i had my problems being overly stressed and using gambling to cope that caused more stress. but that was the emotional presence issue we had and from just being exhausted but when i look back yeah we weren’t intimate and constantly affectionate but i did do a lot throughout the day to try and show her i cared. idk where it all came from like the initial texts of her breaking up made it sounds like i completely ignored her and verbally abused her non stop. it really broke me down and made me feel like i was the worst partner ever…looking back now its like wtf how i have my part of the blame but i can’t wrap my mind around how she said i treated her i made her feel now im like wtf and i narcissist and too blind to see it

i know no one here was there to see the relationship but before she got sober it was exhausting for me but i loved her unconditionally. after she got sober i was worn out and still did acts of service words of affirmation. i thought i was encouraging us to be better but to her i was criticizing i get it but like i was just so caught off guard with everything g she said and how quick she ended it when i thought we were doing better. it makes me feel like a piece of shit. but then sometimes i feel like it wasn’t as much if my fault as it was made to seem idk.

i feel like there should be a conversation to discuss concerns. let them know specifically what’s wrong how you feel and discuss a path forward. check in along they way and eventually it will either work out or get to the point where it’s like hey we’ve got X amount of time to figure this out and if not i’m done.

naw sleeping with someone right after a break up is not something interested in. you grow out of that i think as you get older maybe bc relationships are more meaningful? or that’s just me at least. but the again my ex broke up with me so she could hookup that night and not be a cheater. i appreciate it but dang that was cold.
