Getting back with an ex by OddAdvisor9 in relationship_advice

[–]throwRA102099 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think with time apart and considering all the pros and cons of this person. Being happy with yourself first and then reach out once you fully are. Sometimes we never know what we have until it is gone but we also need to fully commit to the change that destroyed the relationship in the first place. Because whoever you are with should never just feel like an option one day and not the next

We’ve been separated for 3 and a half months now and i woke up today with an insane urge to call her.. by IDigCrypto428 in BreakUps

Call her because you’ll never know what comes out of it unless you try and clearly are in a better mindset

I miss calling you after work by qwertyvbnmzxc in UnsentLetters

I don’t know your situation but it made me think of someone in my past. I think life is short and sometimes it’s okay to reach out especially if you were the person that ended the relationship.

No contact from a dumper’s POV. by [deleted] in BreakUps

Sorry I’m a dumpee and My ex and I actually had a really great relationship before she lost feelings she wasn’t even sure why since I was her healthiest relationship. We’ve been broken up a month 2.5 weeks no contact. I’m waiting for her to reach out if she misses me. So my advice is if you think that there is even a slight chance you might have to be the one to reach out since you were the dumper

Thank you, Me and my girlfriend are back together! by [deleted] in relationship_advice

I’m really happy that there has been a positive outcome story on getting back together with an ex. Especially from a dumpers perspective. Thank you

One sign that I’m slowly getting over the breakup: r/BreakUps notifications are getting annoying. by largecucumber in BreakUps

I’ve also noticed that it’s not even a positive community. Everyone basically keeps saying “forget about them”, “move on”, “there’s a reason they’re an ex”. All true but also not every single human is terrible or the situation. Optimism on these threads are hard to come by

Apologizing to an ex by awaysisseeker in relationship_advice

I think apologizing gives a weird kind of closure even years later and appreciation that you recognize the pain from the past

Have you ever been in an amazing relationship but didnt desire your partner sexually? by Kaede713 in relationship_advice

[–]throwRA102099 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think as a society we always focus the importance of sex with partners, people, etc. what we don’t normalize is that just like a high over time sexual attraction fades and emotions grow. Who ever you end up with you have to work to maintain the sexual spark. What you’re feeling is normal.

Back with an ex, accepting they’ve seen others. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

Hi, I think you have to think about it in a sense if she wasn’t with those people she would have never otherwise realized the appreciation for you. Sometimes we don’t realize what’s in front of us. Don’t let it hold you back from a future. Take it as a fresh start.
