Frankly, it depends on who they are. If they were a good friend and/or significant other, and you miss them, it might not hurt to check it out and try having a relationship again. If they were hurtful or abusive, or they did something to you, you might want to put a little bit more thought into how you are doing things. When it comes down to it, you usually can trust your instinct (or your gut). If you're unsure, it's always a good option to talk to someone you trust like a friend or family member. It all depends on the situation and who they are.

it depends.
do you want to go back to him or her?
do you think it is going to help you?
do you believe that you going back to him or her would be healthy for one or both of you?
if you want to and think that it is not going to harm you emotionally, physically or in any other way, then maybe you should. it's completely your choice and nobody but you can decide it for you. if he or she would add to your happiness, if they're someone you enjoy being around, then sure, go back to them. but, if they're toxic for you or don't treat you right, then do yourself a favor, and PLEASE stay away from them.

It depends on the situation. Without being fully aware of the context and situation, one cannot advise if one should go back to him/her. Also, people should exercise caution while taking advise. Often, you, yourself, and the other person to whom you want to go back are best to answer this. Ask your heart. Do your heart really want to go back to him/her? You should at least be sure about your safety both physical and psychological in her/his presence and the other person too should feel safe. You should also consider if the other person really wants you to come back to her/him. Neither the other person should feel harrassed with your presence nor you should in their presence. It works both ways.

I know that this is a really hard question to answer and only you know the answer to this because each situation is different. Take into account your safety, wellbeing and personal life. If you feel unsafe, talk to someone and let them know what is going on.
Don't feel pressured to go to back to someone if you know that you need space and time. Set up boundaries and try to have open communication if you do want to go back. In the end nobody can tell you what you should do but you can always talk to someone.

Value yourself first and recognize your self worth. Consider the pros and cons of going back. What would you say to a friend in your situation? Think back to all the time spent with this person, don't only remember the good times. If you do not feel like your absolute best self with this person then it is time to let them go. You should never feel like you have to chase someone and if they are not putting as much effort into you as you are to them then you should consider if going back is really the best option. Do what is best for you and your well being.

Going back to a past partner can be a struggle. It’s hard to let go when you have strong feelings towards them. Unfortunately some partners are disloyal. Personally I wouldn’t go back if my partner cheated because I would feel unimportant to them and would not want them to think it’s okay or give them the opportunity to repeat it. If 2 people are break up for personal reasons and want to get back together then it’s up to them to decide if it is best for them. Relationships are challenging and they won’t work without honesty, communication, and teamwork. Without those 3 things it is not worth it.

Let's be honest, going back to someone is a difficult decision to make when you're emotionally attached. Talk to someone before making a decision so that you can see the situation from another point of view. Getting back together with someone is a big decision on your part. And will make a change in your life. Are they disrespecting you and your life choices? Do they not show any appreciation? Perhaps even listen to you? If your answers are all no's, then those are a few examples of a toxic relationship. You deserve something better. Find someone with respect, compassion, empathy, honesty, and many other positive traits. No one is perfect, but they could be for you.

If they hurt you, made you feel worthless, cheated on you or anything else similar to that, no it would not be advisable to do so. If you were happy and they treated you well and you truly think going back to them is a good idea, consider why you broke up before making any form of decisions and ultimately, do what will be best for you in the long run. Make sure to look after your own mental and physical health before jumping back into a relationship, especially with an ex. consider all aspects of the relationship and how you and they fit together.

Depends on how things ended. Before you even go back to him or her you need to ask yourself what went wrong in the first place. If both of you can be able to find what made both of you break and how it can be fixed then you can give it a shot. Some do work and some don't work after the reunion. All relationships are hard work no one is perfect. People make mistakes but if they can recognize where they went wrong and want to fix it it's better than one who only wants to come back because they can't find a replacement.

You never go anywhere. You end up trapped in this twisted black hole that neither of you can get out of, a black hole that neither of you wanted to be in in the first place. You’re not going back because you love him. You’re going back because you’re bored. Or lonely. Or because you can’t stand the thought of spending another night laying in your bed, knowing that no one is thinking about you.
You want to feel loved. And cared for. You want there to be someone out there who misses you. But you’re looking for validation in the wrong places. You’re not going to feel more alive and less invisible just because someone kisses you a few times and tells you they missed you.
Going back to him means you’ll feel a small thrill at first. The thrill of not being alone for a while. The thrill of knowing that there’s someone you can text if you’re at the bar and you’re bored out of your mind. You have someone to tell things to. You feel a small comfort in the possibility that the fulfillment you’re looking for might come from him.
Ask yourself a few questions. Why did he become your ex in the first place? Is that reason is still valid?
If yes, why are you even thinking about going back to him, and give him another chance?
If no, is it really a no? What generally happens is with time our memories fade as the wounds do, and those memories do start seeming better than they actually were. So we tend to give people another chance even if they don’t deserve it in the first place, only to understand later that the things haven’t really changed much.
Now keeping the above perspective in your mind, think again. If the answer is still No. Ask yourself another question, are you happy in your present relationship. Is your present boyfriend is looking after you well?
If yes, then what is the need for quitting on him, for your ex?
If No, still give a thought about the whole thing in the perspective that I have mentioned above.
I want to tell you something. People tend to throw away what is in their hands, only to regret it later. When taking such decisions in life, take time. Ask yourself as many questions as possible.
Hope you arrive at a decision that proves to be best for your future
