Reconnecting with an Ex is not as bad as it sounds
Posted by Tara Landon on 11/10/2009
I know the general rule of thumb is “he’s an ex for a reason” BUT sometimes (in fewer situations than most) re-establishing a connection might actually work. I am currently in a relationship with my former, and am very happy. For me, it ONLY made sense because we had broken up before mutually and because we were younger and a lot more immature. After some time however, we both became independent, confident and happy. Our new found success is based on our ability to be individually happy and on mutual respect!
Be careful though, because it doesn’t always have a happy ending, and in most cases to general rule still applies!
A special thanks to Vandana for submitting this post.

I think timing is key. We have all dated someone we thought we would marry and maybe if we had met them when we were older we would have. Obviously you were attracted to each other and had things in common or you would have never dated,add the new found maturity and it could easily work.
Congrats

I dated this guy twice. The first time we dated for about a year and a half. We had a intense relationship as we were very different people. We would argue a lot and then make up. I broke up with him because he became possessive and never wanted to let me do anything without him. After we broke up we remained friends. About a year and a half later, I dated him again. During the time we were just friends I knew that he wanted more and wanted me back. So I felt like if our connection was this strong and we could just be together as friends for so long that maybe we could try the relationship again.
The second time, he was extremely distant. One time we didn’t talk all weekend and we both had no idea where the other one was. It was really like day and night the two dating experiences. It was almost like I had taught him to not care so much…which also wasn’t good. So we broke up again. But we have remained friends, which is nice. Possibly that was what our relationship was, friends who weren’t meant to cross into a relationship.

Sounds like he wanted you but had no idea what it was you wanted so he went to extremes
