Hi friends, now, its exactly one year since I broke up with my girlfriend who we shared a lot and I mean A LOT together. Well, the first few days, weeks and then months were followed by the usual break up pattern; denial, anger, accusations, depression, and now finally I've reached the stage of either trying to get back to my ex or move on with my life and that's why I need your help here. I first need to check my motives for wanting her back. Purely, I love this lady to the core of my heart. However, the reasons for the breakup were also very strong and my fears are that maybe when we get back, even if I still have strong feelings for her, the issues that made us break up might resurface again. Is it a good idea? Please myLot people I need all the advice I can get concerning this or I should just pickup my pieces and continue living without her. They say time heals, well, its a year now and it still seems like yesterday!, I wish I had that 'fast-forward' button to speed up the healing process...

My friend, if you're afraid that the issue of your breakup before will resurface again, then you're not ready for that relationship again. Because you will not be happy if the past keeps haunting you. You better think a hundred times, because if you choose to get into to your previous relationship then you might be wasting another lifetime. Why don't you keep your stand now, you're already in the process of healing so why would you choose to go back and be hurt again.

Yes, I'm afraid the issue(s) of my breakup might resurface again. And its true I may not be ready again. However, when thinking about this, I normally tell myself that throughout the year, I've had time to search my soul, reflect on my life and my purpose here and looked deeply at those issues that made us break up. Where I am concerned, I believe I have (or can) changed though I'm not sure about her. You tell me right, I shouldn't waste another lifetime but as you know matters of the heart; when you are alone and are being sincere with yourself you can NEVER suppress your feelings. I am NOT desperate (I feel handsome and do have some admirers!), I've sobered up and know that it may be better to just let go and move on. However my friend, is it not worth it at least to give it a try, see how she still feels about me and if it can't be salvaged then just let it go?

I agree with you, we can cheat other people about how we feel but never ourself... especially when we are alone. It is really up to you if you want to give it a try and check how she feels about you. It's okay especially if this can give a closure to your feelings or on the otherhand if this will give your happiness. But my friend, if you decide to give it a try... atleast assure yourself that you are ready to face the consequences of your action. Because there is no assurance if you will succeed or fail. Good Luck my friend!

My ex boyfriend asks me the question and he is praying deeply and hardly that he wants me to get back to him. But I cannot for now, since I have a current relationship. I love my boyfriend, but I cannot handle my ex-bf forgetting me too. I know he needs to move on and it is selfish for me to ask him to be just around. Well, we have a good friendship before we had a relationship, that is why I just cannot take that he will forget me.

I understand your current state. I too went through many 'mini' or 'small' relationships after the breakup though they fizzled out fast because when I searched myself deeply, I just saw that I was trying to hit back at my girl for the loss. They were just a distraction, I was trying to run away from the real issues and my feelings. It may not be selfish to ask him to be around, maybe its due to the real deep friendship you shared. But I think you may have to make a final decision since you seem to be in the process of moving on with your life. At least you know what your ex feels, that's exactly what I want to know; How she feels about me. I won't force or demand her to feel some way towards me, no, I just need an honest answer which I'll use to gauge my final decision. Should I make the call?

if you cant get over this certain issue and if you think it will be an impediment to your relationship, then youd better think bout it for a couple of times if your relationship will be able to transcend the issues on the otherhand if youre not dauntless enough to withstand them, then forget about her and move on. it goes to show ur not valiant enough to fight for her love.

the breakup was a blessing in a way, because I embarked on the journey of self discovery. I learned the importance of silence, I've learned to meditate, appreciate the good in all and everything and to see the beauty of life. Maybe this transformation of mine is what is pulling me back to my ex because I'm looking at life with a different set of eyes. Even the issues that made us break up aren't issues to me again. However, it is ME who has changed, I do not know about her hence my worries of her repeating her mistakes since I've taken care of mine. You may say that I should then go on and find one who we'll rhyme, yeah? But like I said, I still do love her and maybe I just need to see whether she's bitter or hates me. If she hates me then that's good! Because the opposite of love is not hate but indifference. If she's indifferent to my feelings then I'll surely let go. But if she claims to 'hate' me then I'll know there's still some emotions for me and I can try to turn them round to positive. What do you think?
