From my experience I only broke up with someone if I am sure there is no way that relationship is going to work. It can be hurtful to break up with someone over and over again for both of you, and we should never hurt each other. So think if there is a chance, think about why did you broke up in the fist place. Don't just go back because you miss being in a relationship, or because you feel uncomfortable on your own. It will get better! Sometimes it is better alone than with someone who is not right for you. Take care!

Try to talk to yourself several times a day, because it’s you who knows the best for you, who knows every detail about you, practice talking to yourself silently. Before you go to sleep, lie down on your bed/couch comfortably, make your body as comfortable as you can, then make your mind comfortable and then ask yourself what you did was wrong or right, what is this you are actually experiencing, why did you breakup with him/her. Does he/she ever tried to harm you. Was he/she a good person, a humble, loyal partner for you. All the answers are with you only. Try to sleep with these questions in your mind and no worries and I am sure in the morning whatever is good for you will pop! Take care

I have learned people need people and healthy conversations can shine light in a dark space. Self assessment is key then you can help others. I learned to take 1 day at a time and enjoy the process no matter the good and bad times. Always re adjust the lens you use to view life. take time to reflect, accept and grow. We need to be honest and communicate. Communication can mend a broken heart and fix misunderstandings. Communication opens the door for friendships, reconciliation and healing. We all have wonderful different and unique personalities, so whatever you decide to do make sure your authentic.

Unfortunately, my training does not allow me to give advice so I can not tell you what to do. You know yourself and your ex better then I do so this is your call. Why do you not tell me why You broke up with them in the first place and we can try to find you a clear path? Taking about your experience to another person might bring to light new point of views and facts that you had not noticed before. This can help you make a healthy decision! It’s good to have someone to talk to!

Breaking up brings a whole lot of change inside your life . It feels like your life has gone upside down. But what you need to remember are the reasons why that happened. Something must have happened that triggered you to go ahead and breakup. Things become difficult after we break up. Our day feels empty, it feels like we have got no one we can share our stuff with. These reasons make you said and prompt a rebound. Understand you're sad over the changes it brought in your life not because the breakup was a wrong thing to do. And whatever happens just be kind to yourself. Take care of yourself. Cook yourself great food, watch movies, talk to your friends. The best way to move on is to invest maximum of your time in constructive things. Hope it helps.

It may be best for you to think about why you might be feeling this regret for breaking up with your ex. Once you think about the reasons why you may feel the feelings of regret, it is also as important to think about what were the reasons you decided to break up in the first place. I'm sure there was a reason that you made this decision. What was that? When you have that reason in your mind, I say it may be a good idea to gauge how these two reasons work with one another. What I mean by this is, you had reasons to break up with your ex, however now you were feeling regret. Were those original feelings justified? Do your feelings of regret cancel out the decision you made to break up in the first place? Think about these two questions, they make give you some insightful answers.

Thank you for sharing. You are being thoughtful about this decision. What do you regret specifically? What made you break up with your ex in the first place? How did you feel while breaking up? What problems were popping up? I would listen to what your heart says and what your head says and compare the two. What are you hoping your ex would respond? What is the worst case scenario? It sounds like you might be feeling guilty and want to retract ending the relationship. Who are you feeling guilty towards? I know from my own experience that relationships are complicated and can get stressful, but it's important that you consider yourself as well. In relationships, we learn more about ourselves--our strengths, weaknesses, ways of loving, and we grow through them. How did you feel while being in that relationship? How do you feel without the relationship? How have your friends, family, and loved ones responded? What expectations have been met by your ex? What expectations did they not meet? If you were talking to a friend worried about their relationship, what do you think warrants ending a relationship?

as what they say 'never get jealous when you see your ex with someone else, because our parents taught us to give our used toys to the less fortunate'. Yes, making choices in life is not that easy sometimes you have to think not just twice but a hundred times. Regretting breaking up with your 'ex' might be one of stages to overcome with the trials. First, you must try to think the reason why your 'ex' leave you? 'did you a reason to make that person broke up with you? or vice versa'. If it's your fault then let go because sometimes no matter how hard you try, people leave. and it hurts, but you have to let them go. People aren't something that can ever be locked up. If they choose to walk away, they will- no matter what. We have to accept that breaking up with someone doesn't mean that you don't love them anymore. sometimes, it means that you love them enough to let them go because you want them to be happy and you realized that you're just not able to be happy together. all you have to do is endure the pain, be happy and love.

When you think about this specific question, ask yourself, is he worth it, was he worth my tears, and was he there for me when i was there for him. If all the answers to those questions were no, then drop him. Move on girl, we only have one life to live. Go out and celebrate, this is a celebration. Show him how much he’s missing out, show him that you didn’t need him and that he needed you. You are so beautiful and gorgeous girl, you should’ve dropped him ages ago. Just think of it this way, he going down while your going up. Show him what he’s missing out on girlie!!

I would kindly and honestly give them a call or text telling them how you feel and that you miss them. (Try to stay genuine and self-aware about the fact that you may come off like your bored and in need of somebody random.) Try to show them that you are being serious and that they didn't do anything wrong and it was a mistake on your part, not theirs. I would apologize for any hurt you may have caused them in the process because breakups can really hurt somebody.
