i have this friend who's absolutely devastated with their break-up. the cause was also very nasty. the girl fooled around and chose the other guy instead of him. they're now talking, (thankfully) and my friend is still trying to get her back and stopped thinking about doing some retaliation. i don't think she'd still go back to him, i've talked with her and she says that she still loves him but is too ashamed for what she did and she's happy with her new guy... i kept on asking her how did this happen but all she did was cry. my girlfriend also talked with her and she told me that there's a slight chance that they could be a couple again. she didn't tell me the exact words but i believe her. can anyone help me? lend me some tips for my friend please... thanks.

I would suggest that your friend just move on and forget her, she's not worth it, and if you think about it further, if he can get her back, do you think that she will stop cheating on him?
Do you think that he is enough for her? And that she wouldn't cheat? If she already done what she did, face up to the consequences because that is what she deserves. If she's happy with the guy, then why bother why cry?

aawww... But still, she got drunk and now she's with the guy? I don't think it's that simple.. She could always just not be with the guy, you know.. but she is..

so they already have kids? i thought they were just boyfriends/girlfriends at this point, i think you should seriously talk to the girl and take into consideration the child that they have

It seems like your friend has not gotten over his loss and continues to search for something that is no longer there. I think the only chance of her going back to him is if the new guy dumps her. Is he ready for the consequences if she repeats her behavior in the future? Or, is he a glutton for punishment. He needs to keep it moving and not get caught up in his past experience or he is destined to repeat those same experience. Live and learn.

i like your comment, you are right, she will come back to him when she is dumped by the guy, and if ever she comes back to the first guy, will this guy ready to face the consequences? you know, because she had once done it, there is a possibility that she will do it again

I guess you should not rush things between the two of them. Make the both of them realize the mistakes and the things their relationship went through, on their own. Trying to fix things when they are still emotional about the break up is not a godd idea. Give them both time to heal. As friends, be always there to give a helping hand or a shoulder to cry on. When both of them are emotionally ready, then they could start fixing or talking about their relationship.

You may prestend to be friends or love each other...but one the love is broken the scar will still remain. They will still have some bad feeling for each other...somewhere down the line they will again start talking about the reason for their breakup and then their egos will clash. Rather than getting into such a situation later its better to carry on in life.

This is a test of being faithful. your friend has already been cheated be her girlfriend and he still wants her back? Yes we could really be dumb sometimes if our feelings and emotions will be the one dictating our heads. But then if he wants to experience being hurt again then he should go for it. temporary happiness is really great to feel but then how could you be with someone who cheated on you already? if there is no trust with each other then there is no sense having a relationship at all! But then he should just follow his heart. whatever makes him happy then go for it. Be ready to face all the consequences he might experience in the future.

I think there are probably a lot of responses to this and I didn't read any except for part of the very first response. I'll speak form a very different viewpoint than probably any of the others who have commented. I won an ex back and in December, we will have been married for 24 years.
I met Kelly when we were both 21 and we started dating about 3 or 4 months later...we actually spoke on the phone for those several months and I usually asked her out on a date...and she always said "no". I dated others and as it turned out, she had a situation that she was working through putting and end to. At any rate, we met in May and started dating in September...dated for a little over a year...and she essentially did the same thing to me. In fact, she got pregnant and had a son with this other person.
The trick to winning an ex back is simple...you have to really, truly forgive...and you have to become best friends. It's not easy. I was committed to what I wanted and after the other person was out of the picture, there was no reason for her and I not to get back together. She didn't want to lose the friendship and I didn't want to keep waiting. I moved from Colorado to California and told her that if I didn't do so, I would not be able to get on with my life. Less than six weeks later, she was in California.
That's my experience; hope you can take some tips from that. Good luck!

the girl might have her own reasons why she chose the other guy. normally what I would advise is if your partner cheats on you, try to stay away because once a partner cheats there's a big possibility that she'll do it again. but if your friend really is determined, I think he should just give all the effort that he can muster and allow the girl to choose him back. otherwise, the best thing to do is move on.

you can never win an ex back
ever
everyone loses in the end
i learned this the hard way
and the best thing i did was move on immediately and literally uprooting myself from our little town to the big city (with kym in tow) hehehe
made me forget "her" fast

if she still loves your friend then there is a possibility that they will be together again, but not now, maybe in the future, since the girl still have his guy on the scene, it is hard to win her back now since your friend is not the main cast of the show now. i suggest your friend should look around first. i think in time he will already lose his love for her

im sorry for your friend. but that girl act very bad to him. she switched him for other guy and now that she is the other guy wants your friend back? is ok that your friend loves her but he should think if she chose him why now she wants me? bcs she also said to you that her bf is good to her. how can your friend be sure that she wont leave him again for that guy? im sorry to say this but your friend should find other girl that really loves him. that girl is very confused about who she loves so for me she loves none. bcs when we love someone we have no doubts. love is just one person. so your friend deserves a girl that loves him as much as he loves that girl. im sure your friend will find bcs he seems a sweet guy that really cares^^ the best for him^^ the best you can do to help him is go out with him and meet new people. he might meet a sweet girl that really loves him^^

There's nothing wrong to win back a love of your life if it is worth it to win her/him back again.But with the situation you friend have,what can i say is, he have to move on...the girl is with someone else, he is in love with some one else, never force anyone to go back to you,if you love that person. just let her/him go,set her free...

Tell her that instead of winning back her ex she should win back her life by meeting new people. She's just wasting away for someone who probably couldn't care less. I feel sorry for your friend, I know what it's like but there's nothing she can do about it, her ex is probably unlikely to come back to her. There was a reason they broke up and that reason probably still exists. Good luck to you guys and remember there's no such thing as 'winning back an ex' ;)

I really know what you are talking about. Experience is the best teacher as the saying goes.Love is a feeling that has a lot of explanations and the feeling is stronger than anything you could imagine. I believe if what they share is true love, no matter what, she will come back to him and he will accept her without thinking twice. And the love they shared before will now grow stronger.

Why would he take her back when she fooled around the first time? I mean, she cheated on him and now it's like he was the one who did something wrong. If the girl choses the other guy, than I'm sure that in the future if they would ever get back together, there is still a chance that the girl would fall for another guy again... Maybe you're friend should really think about this first. It seems like he loves her too much, and it maybe too much already that it's not good for him.
