Playing With Fire: Get Back With The Ex Boyfriend

How To Get Your Lover Back

Have you ever read one of these "how to get your ex boyfriend back" type of books?

Did they help you at all, or just confuse you more?

Did they help you explore the reasons why you broke up with him in the first place?

Or if he dumped you, were they because of things that you could change, or were they just because of HIS own insecurities and internal struggles?

I've usually only relied on my girlfriends for this type of information, but I notice there's a lot of these types of books around, so people must be buying them if there's so many out there.

Have You Ever Gotten Back Together With An Ex - Successfully?

I know in our first ten years of intimate, non-familial relationships there tend to be a lot of turmoil going on around us.

In high school, I knew plenty of girlfriends and boyfriends who broke up and got back together over and over, until finally one day they didn't get back together, and instead one of them got together with someone new for a while.

Sometimes, that relationship would last for a while, and then it, too, would bread up, and the original couple would get back together and be quite happy together for a while.

This goes on from year to year, couple to couple, and is quite common in a high school and early college year environment.

But what about when you're an adult?  Say, you dated a few people, got married for years and years, got divorced, and then an old ex came back into your life?

Is it just playing with fire to consider dating an ex?  Or are there some success stories out there?
