I think if you ended the relationship because of relationship dissatisfaction, and you weren't happy in the relationship, you need to ask yourself what has changed since then? Why do you think the relationship will be different, or will be better the second time? Often people end relationships that weren't working out, and they have good reasons to end the relationship - but then because they miss having a relationship they get back with the ex and it doesn't work out the second time either because they haven't resolved those issues that caused them to leave to begin with! "Loneliness" is not a positive reason to be in a relationship. Healthy relationships are motivated by positive emotions, and positive values. Without these things driving relationships forward, the relationship will usually become stagnant or dependent, and the relationship will feel like hard work, becoming tiring, and creating friction and resentment over time. The idea isn't just to be in any relationship; the idea is to be in relationships that improve you as a person, that make you happy! Do you just want a relationship, or do you want to relate?!

In my personal experience, if things ended then they ended for a reason. Think about it while considering if you should go back to your ex. If it's something that you feel like you to can get past it and if you feel like things can get better, then it's up to you. But if based on your relationship history, you realize that things may not be as different as you hope, then consider moving on. Happiness may be somewhere far away from them.

That's not a question anyone here can answer for you. That is something you need to examine for yourself. Ask questions like: Why are we not together now? What has changed? How do I expect things to be different? Keep asking yourself questions and your answer will become clear.

There's no simple yes or no answer to this question. No one size fits all. It's always going to be a very personal decision based on individual situations and circumstances. A lot of people want to go back to their lovers because they are lonely or because they miss the person. These aren't good enough reasons on their own. When it comes down to it, you have have to think long and hard about why you left, if the relationship is good for you, if the relationships is good for the other person, if anything has changed in the time you've been apart, it it's the right thing to do.

Depends on the situation. If they were abusive in any way, then no, you deserve way better than someone who treats you like you are inferior to them. Everyone is equal. If they cheated, again no, because trust takes years to build, seconds to break, and forever to repair. You may never trust that person again, which could cause stress to build in your life. If you had a mutual breakup because of something like school, family, or work, then yes, I think you should have a shot on getting him/her back.

It's imperative to begin thinking about the reason of getting away from him/her, see if the reason is still there? You will get your answer

It depends,but never go back to someone who hurt you.When you love someone it is hard not to go back but if you have been hurt it's better not to go and forget the past be focused on the future.

I personally think that, deep in our heart, we know if we should/could go back to someone. What personally kept me from replying to this answer in the past is the fear or the pride: they make me deny what I really want to protect myself from any consequences of contacting this person again. So I tried to ask to myself this question when that person was physically next to me. If I felt I wanted him/her and right after I felt fear...then the asnwer was yes. And I immediately tried talking to them, despite feeling that fear even more. After the first minutes talking, my fear diminshed and I felt much ready to say what I wanted from them. No matter what happens. I left the fear and was ready to be vulnerable again. Why don´t you try that? I hope it helps.

You should and you shouldn't. Evaluate the risk factors before making a decision. It is all up to you. You should think about whether or not you should. Do they deserve having you again? Do they deserve another chance? Do you deserve going through it again?

going back to your ex is never a good choice , i've been back to several of my ex's and it never works out , you break up for a reason and no matter how much they say they've changed, they haven't
