ADVICE: Should I Go Back To My Ex?


Recently, I came across my ex at a networking function. We were together in college and have been broken up for about 2 years. We're both mid 30s and successfully employed. My question is: he wants to get back together, should I? We were very young when we were together and he had made lots of mistakes. He really hurt me and disappointed me. But I am tired of the dating merry go round and want to see what is up with him. I need to give him an answer this week.

Undecided,
*Lauren


Dear *Lauren:
Hey there, girl, well, the answer is NO. Are you a glutten for pain or what? I am all for ex wives remarrying their husbands, but so not for going back to little ex boyfriends. I mean, these situations are peculiar. You only been apart for 2 years. How much growing have either of you done? It's time to UPGRADE. I know he seems nice now, and you are horny, but you need to fall back. Email me privately and I'll tell you exactly what to do to nip this in the bud to reverse anymore doubt in your mind. I cannot give out all my secrets on this platform. However, on a general scale, it is very likely he will revert back once he sees you are comfortable. That is exactly what happened to Lola in Mrs. Big. And it is pretty obvious, and men know this, that you want a man in your life. So, you are willing to till some bad soil. Only till soil that belongs to you from the start, not one that has already contaminated the garden.

An AF with love,
MR

OK, I gotta be real honest here. When a man goes back to an "ex" it's for two reasons 1)nobody else is gonna put up with his sh*t 2)we know she's pretty desperate.

Especially if she's accepting me without a ring (and she better not ask for one) there ain't much to I'm willing to do but keep smiling.

went back to my ex in 2002, we broke up in 2004, go back in 2004, and now I am pregnant. Guess we are stuck for life and I am VERY happy about it. and he is too.

I see no reason to completely rule out all exes. Then again I am a romance author and a "reunion" story can make for a good plot. lol.

IMHO One good thing about dating an ex is that you have loads of information about him that you do not have with someone you're just meeting.

The key is to be pessimistic. You have to think of his absolute worst quality then ask yourself if if this gets even worse over time can I live with this guy? If the answer is no, keep it moving.
