Would you consider dating your ex?

HELL NO!!!! I divorced that compulive lying self-centered inconsiderate rat Ba***rd for a reason and anyone who knows him (or doesn't) should run as fast as they can and never look back at IT!!

actually~ you are confused whether you should date with him~ i think you still love him~ or you are lonely now~ you need someone to company with you or you need some love to fill with you life i think you should consider it serious and mak ea decision if you still love him you can have a try ~ because you guys are all available btu if you just want some one to kill time reject him`

After having an on-again, off-again relationship with a guy I dated, I have come to the conclusion that people become your ex-whatever for a reason. More likely than not, it's not going to work out now if it didn't work out before. Just remember the reasons why your particular relationship didn't work out, and firmly tell him no. Give him a list of reasons why if he persists.

It sounds like you don't want to date him but are just tired of him asking and figure that saying yes well get him to shut up and leave you alone. I have exes like this and while at times I have said yes, I should've said no every single time. He's your ex for a reason, he's getting a second divorce for a reason and that reason should help you to know that you need to stand your ground, follow your intuition and tell him to bug off.

If I were you I wont. Considering his personality and his lifestyle. And you've been there.I'm assuming the reasons why you're kinda hesitant is the same reason that your relationship did not work. If you start with it again, and lead to having a relationship again, do you see yourself going through the same ordeal? It's normal to weaken at this point, but shield yourself from further pain, be strong, put your head over your heart. You might just be lonely and vulnerable as well. . And who knows, he might just be on the rebound because he just got a divorce. I'm even questioning his intention at this point. You will find someone better. Ask yourself this...Do you see yourself going through the same pain again?

I say "Follow your instincts." But if ever you still decide to go out on a date with him, just guard your heart. And always, let your mind overrule your emotions. God bless!

It seems to me that what you need to do is what *You* want to do. You are your own person. You don't need someone to badger you and tell you what to do. You might consider "just dating" ~ or "no strings attached" dating. I am very much for open relationships. Since it didn't work out for you two the first time ~ and now he has Divorce #2 under his belt, it's probably not going to work a second time. Girl, you're still young! Enjoy life! Don't just settle for anything or anyone. "You've gotta fight ~ for your right ~ to PARTY!!!" ~ The Beastie Boys

i guess there might be a solid reason why you guys broke up in the first place. if you realized that you are a happier person without him, then you already have your answer:) ..if you two get back together again, do u think you'd be happy together? do you think he can make me happy and would you be happy? do u still have feelings towards him? don't date him because he asked you to, it should be because of love and happiness:)

Always go with your gut feeling...You know him from the past and you know if he has really changed but remember to think before you leap. Sometimes we want to go back to the past because we knew the situation and it had a comfort zone. No one can make up your mind but you, but please be sure to think it all out first. Of course it is difficult when he is persistent, but hold your ground.

you've been here before. Deep down you do know what is the right answer for you. It seems as if you do anyway. In the end it is your choice. Hint...you said you are a happier person without him.

well it also depends on how you two break up (i mean the reason why did you do it)... but anyway... if you realized that life without him is easier, well here is your answer! You are probably weakening because it is in human nature to be with somebody and you would like to be with somebody i guess. Heart just wants to be cuddled. Listen to your brain here.

i genuinenly feel that u must say a 'sorry' appreciating his feelings for you...after all its a matter of self respect...as u realize that u r happier without him...u have moved on after breaking up...going back and again getting hurt is not such a good thing....so better you consider not to date him unless u r pretty sure that u can live without him....

Personally, I never date any of my ex's, it's just how I am with relationships, once ended, I never look back. Based on the information given about his personality, I think any woman would be better off with a man who is controlling. It's hard unless you are the submissive type, but then again everyone has limits. Based on your experience with him, if you have already decided to say no, stand by your word no matter how persistent he may be. I am pretty sure you will find a better man, sooner or later, dear.

I am so glad. One thing is clear... you do not need someone like him in your life. Based on your replies, I think you are happy being a mom to your kids. Having those kids is the best thing that happened in your life,I'm sure you would agree with me. The right one will come, don't look for him, let him look for you. Have a great life, girl!

I would never go back to an ex if they had since been married and divorced twice. And by the sound of what you wrote he would be bad no matter what other relationships he has had. I tend to believe that if it didn't work out the first time then it wasn't ment to be. It's one thing if the break up is sort of recent, like within a year or two max and there really weren't any serious relationships in between because then possibly it took that to show how good your relationship was before. You should never date someone just because they are keep hounding you to do so. If your happier without him then keep it that way. Really you will be doing him a favor too, because he already had two divorces and he really needs to find someone that really is more his type and since you and him gave it a go before and it didn't work, he should take that as a hint not to waste his and your time again.

well incase i get betrayed or some thing like dat, i wont care to date her, cuz the same thing might happen agian.

Well, i don't really know your situation...but from what it sounds like, he is very destructive. It sounds as though he is destructive to himslf and you as well. You should NOT go back to him. You said yourself that you are much happier without him. Why would you jeopardize that? Please don't be foolish. No i would never date any of me ex boyfriends. They are all ex boyfriends for a reason.

That is a very crucial decision you will have to make. We are not sure if he really loves you or he's seeing you as a patch for his unsuccessful relationship. But if you wanna give it a shot. Start by establishing a friendship first, then maybe after you see his real intention then you two can both carry on what was left in the past.

IcyCucky there's nothing wrong dating your ex. It's only a date right? Enjoy each other as friends..

Just follow your heart, think long and hard. Maybe even write down the good things and the bad things. Make a list see which list has more things on it. Don't let him make your mind up, if possible tell him to go away for a few days or a week, don't talk to him or see him. Just get away and clear your mind, see if you miss him see how you feel when he's not there. Just make sure it's your choice not his or anyone elses. Do what makes you happy.
