You should if that's what your heart tells you to. Going back to a person after a break up is a really hard and really brave choice. It means that you are strong enough to try love again after being hurt or whatever reason it is. If you feel that you dont want to lose that person, go back and try to work your relationship. Love is sweeter the second time around, right?
I see relationships like books. You read someone and at the end you learn someone. Ask yourself if you would read a book all over again despite you know what's inside, then make your choice.
There is no right answer to this question. Not from other people. Do you love them? Why did you leave them? Can you trust them? Did you enjoy being with them?
If the answer to any one of these is 'no' then you've answered your own question

before going back work on yourself, better yourself, do things for you, if after that you need to go back go back, but always put yourself first

No, probably not. it may feel good to go back to them now but soon you will remember why you left and it will hurt

Sit and just think about everything that you went through. Did you feel loved in that relationship. Dih he/she took care of you the way you did with him/her? Think if it's worth getting hurt one more time.
Going back to him or her will only make this worse...You worked so hard to got over him/her and going back to them will only take you back to the starting point and all that effort would be lost!

It is really up to you, what do you feel for him/her. will him/her makes you happy? ask our own self if this is worth living with.
If you ended the relationship it’s for a reason. That means that there has to be an even better reason for you to go back to that person. You can love someone in spite of their flaws but if they are not good to you or for you then you are probably better off without them in your life. You should always have your best interest in mind and a person that truly loves you will as well, and I think that is very important in a relationship. For a successful and loving relationship you should both want what is best for each other, and if the person you were with doesn’t feel that way and they are always looking out for themselves without considering you then you are better off without them in your life. Everyone deserves to be in a happy and healthy relationship that helps them grow personally, emotionally, academically, professionally and spiritually. Love yourself enough to be with someone that loves and respects you just as much if not more!

That is a personal question, in which you have to balance both the pros and cons of going back to that individual. Good luck with it ðŸ˜Å
Only if he/she is genuinely trying to get back to you but not everytime. Always remember your self worth.
It all depends on the situation in why you broke up. From not knowing the situation it's difficult to say but if this was me I would weigh up the pros and cons of the situation. Sit down and talk with them, I wouldn't go back if there was a chance of me being in harm's way.
No
You should only go back if you want to! Listen to your heart only you know what best for you! No one else can tell you what to do!
If you left a person you should first consider the reason why you seperated and think to yourself if that person will do it again how will you react to it... will it be something you want or not..

Depends how things ended. I would say no because better things are yet to come but if it feels right to you to go back then do what makes you happy. Just know if things don't work out it's not the end of the world. It just wasn't meant to be and you'll find the one later on in life.

Going back to him/her is subjective to the situations. Yes if :
1. He/she is genuinely serious about the relationship.
2. Both of you can forgive and progress together in the relationship.
3. He/She changes for the better.
4. There is a possibility for a healthy relationship.
5. He/She believes in accepting your strengths and flaws.
6. Nobody is dominant in the relationship.
7. You feel ready to be back together again.
8. Both parties believe in honoring each others’ commitment in the relationship.
9. Both parties are willing to compromise when dealing with tricky situations.
10. He/she offers stability emotionally, physically and spiritually in the relationship.
if this person isn't treating you like you're suppose to be treated then they aren't worth it, you deserve to be treated wonderful and loved.
Honey, we can't answer that without knowing more about you. Plus we cannot give you advices as they can be harmful for you. Only you know yourself and would know what to do.
All I'm saying is, if they did something to break your heart, you don't deserve them. That's my opinion.
Depending on why are you going back to that person and what was the history behind you leaving that person.
Well, to be honest, that depends on the situation. Why are you not with them at the moment? Was it mutual? Was it a fight? Did something happen? I would say, if they were not good to you, it is not worth it. If they really and truly have changed, that really depends on if you are ready to move on a give a second chance. Second chances are so beautiful, and I truly think are worth it... BUT only if you and them are ready to move on; sometimes, history repeats itself, othertimes, you or them may have grown.
Should you?
I've asked this question so many times to so many people. Should I go back to him? Should I not? Would it be smart to do that? Would it be not? I did that for a while until I really sat by myself and thought about it. A lot of people told me not to. Everyone said that once it's over, it's over. If he could break it off with me just like that, why should I take him back? They tell me that I should move on and that I should forget about him. That even if it hurts, it's something that I have to do. I don't think they're wrong. I say that after a break up, you should move on! But what if they want you back? What do you do then?
When I got the chance to think by myself and for myself, I learned what I really wanted. I focused on what I wanted for myself and what I think is best for me instead of what other people wanted for me. Of course making the decision of going back to him/her depends on how the relationship ended in the first place. If it was toxic, I say you shouldn't. But if this was a healthy relationship and that the breakup was inevitable, why not? If you want go back, why shouldn't you? Think for yourself and what you think will benefit you most. Don't ask other people if you should because only you know the full story. Only you know if you should go back or not. What do you really want?
It's really up to the individual if you both still care for each other then go for it but if there were serious issues like domestic abuse or verbal abuse or you felt unsafe in the relationship then you should not go back to a place you could get hurt.You love seeing this person's name light up on your phone. You would do anything to see him or her genuinely smile. or stuff like that you probably still love the person and if it a genuine love and then you should at least try if you both feel the same way

Lets be very honest here. You left them for some very good reasons. Be it they were abusive or manipulative or you just down right lost feelings. It could also be they cheated multiple times or were talking to other people. The reason is there and just because there sad or want you back doesn't mean you should just take them back with no doubt. Remember they are an ex for a reason. Why go back to the way things where. You would be going back to the same black and white routine of arguments and unhappiness. The thought of going back with them shouldn't even exist.

It actually depends on what happened that you both drift off from each other. If it was a small argument like for nothing serious and he/ she is regretting it, you might give it a second chance. But if it a major one like you've been abused and other related things like that, I would say don't, even tho he/ she is regretting it because you won't be able to guarantee that you won't go through that again. Some might even say that you love him/her but you should make yourself a priority, like loving yourself should matter the first.

Taking away all the other factors such as whether your partner still feels the same way, it really depends on you. If you’re going back to your partner for companion or to fill a void he or she left, I think you may want to reconsider! Think of why you guys separated in the first place and think about whether this issue can potentially arise again in the future. You wouldn’t want to leave him or her again and again in the future! I feel that these are the few things to consider before going back to someone - whether the reason for leaving could be worked out and whether you still share the same feelings for him or her. All the best!
