I don't really have a yes or no answer to this because everyone is different. Everybody's situation is different. Our ex's are not the same. I'm still with my boyfriend of almost 5 years. We would always break up and then later on, no matter how much time went by we would always end up getting back together. So, it was never any point and really ever calling him my ex, but I did. I will say this, just because someone is your ex it doesn't mean that they will remain your ex forever. To me I feel like there is always a chance for your ex to come back. There is nothing wrong with having faith in your ex coming back however, be prepared for them never coming back as well. Just try not to think about it so much. Let fate take over. If it's meant to be it'll be if not try your best to move on because there are better things ahead for your future and God will make sure of it.

I have found that, in life, I have had things that I wanted to happen, certain outcomes to situations or certain choices to be made by people, but more often than not, I was faced with the truth that what I wanted out of life seldom correlated to what was true about life. What I think we all want is just to feel good inside, and so many people choose to interpret the way to make that happen as having others react to them with affection or recognition. What I feel people often forget is that we are guests in each other's lives, that we are not entitled to anyone's choices, and to live life with such a philosophy as "I want people to give me (this), so if I do (that), then I'll get (this)" disregards that principle. One may think that having faith in someone and staying loyal to them in the hope that they'll reciprocate the affection is loving, but what I've found that to be is an expectation of that reciprocation. Expecting someone's affection or gratitude is never loving, because the truth is that no one is obligated to live up to anyone else's expectations, not lovers, not family members, not friends. There is no law saying that we have to include anyone in our lives at any given time. There is no law saying that we have to answer someone's call when they reach out to us looking for affection or comfort. Rather than await someone's reaction with the expectation that, with a great enough display of loyalty, they'll return one's affection with affection of their own, I feel it to be wiser to live in a way in which one is only loving for the sake of being loving, and neither asks for nor expects anything in return. That is how I feel love should be - unconditional. That is what I feel to be truly inspiring to others. It is easy to show love and ask for love to be shown back; it is much harder to be loving by asking for no reward whatsoever. Furthermore, because no one is obligated to reciprocate anyone else's affection or loyalty, I feel a wiser course of action than waiting around for someone to do so would be to put one's own self first, which is something that most people don't often do. People seldom take a personal self-interest in their own growth as an individual, instead relying on the recognition or affection of others to empower them, even if the trade-off of including those others in one's life is experiencing pain or sadness on a regular basis. When we include another person in our lives, we are making a choice. Why, then, should we choose to include someone in our lives who doesn't wish to include us in theirs? Why endure that painful lack of love for the reward of some small happiness? Instead, I feel that people should never settle, that we as individuals are not meant to have mediocre experiences in life, but spectacular ones. I fail to see how including someone in my life who didn't wish to include me in theirs would be a spectacular experience, and so, I would not make that choice. More than that, I feel that, if my ability to react to life with happiness and love is dependent upon how many people I can get to show love and appreciation to me, then maybe I need to grow my own level of personal strength and wisdom before I think about sharing my life with someone. I shouldn't have to depend upon the presence or the acceptance of others to find meaning in the experiences of my life. Instead, I should learn to accept and appreciate myself first and foremost, becoming my own source of strength, wisdom, and peace, and if another person chooses not to reciprocate my kindnesses or affections, the test of my strength will be how composed and at peace I can remain with myself and my own life after the other person's choice to reject me. That is the test I feel all people undergo in their own lives, and for the sake of their maturation into the best versions of themselves that they can become, it is a blessing that they face such adversities, not a burden.

It depends sometimes you should just let it go and start over and sometimes you will find an ex was actually a pretty good option.

Rather than waiting for a specific person to return, I believe that focusing on the kind of relationship you wish to have would be much better. That way, you are also open to receiving other people or (your ex ) who would fit into your dream relationship..

Do not expect it to happen. If you expect it to happen, and it doesn't, you're setting yourself up for a bigger disappointment. It is hard to let go, but you need to let that person go so both of you can grow. If it's meant to be, maybe you'll end up together again someday. If not, maybe you two are meant for other people.

Whether the action is good or bad can only be judged on your well being. If it causes no harm to yourself or others, either mentally or physically, then it is perfectly fine.

No. They are your ex for a reason. There is a good chance they won't come back. I know that sounds harsh but that is sometimes the reality.

Maybe it is best to be healed first and move on. Work on yourself to be a better one because for sure even if you think you didn't contribute anything to make your relationship to fall apart still you know you made mistakes and you hurt your ex partner too. We should always be positive in every circumstances including break ups and the most important thing is to learn from them. Stop blaming yourself or your partner. There will be stage like this but at some point you know it is better to own and admit your shortcomings and kistakes than staying bitter because that wont make you feel good and you wont get the healing you need from that. Juat focus on yoursef now, feel the pain and regrets and move on. Moving on doesn't mean that you need jumping into a new relationship. Enjoy and love yourself and trust that God is in control and has better plans for you. And if the time you are completely healed and you became a better person and your ex would see that in you and if they want to come back and you still think you can give it another shot then praise God! You can be together again and this time you both are complete and whole individuals, not broken, but full of forgiveness and completeness, trust, understanding you both came out stronger, confident, and mature ready to deal with everything that will come to your relationship.

Unfortunately having faith that your ex will come back may lead to you missing out on something else thats good in your life. Moving on is a good way to start a new chapter in your life. I understand it can be hard to move on, just remember your family and friends are there to guide you and support you.

It is possible for anything to happen when it comes to getting back with an ex, however depending on the reason for the breakup, make sure you aren't going back into a poisonous situation.
