Hey, so I’ve been thinking a lot about my ex, Mia. We broke up a few months ago, but I still love her, and I miss her every day. I’ve been considering trying to get back with my ex-girlfriend, but I’m not sure if it’s a good idea. Has anyone here successfully gotten back with their ex? Any advice on how to approach the situation?
Hi HopefulHeart! 
Rekindling a past relationship can be delicate, like tending to a garden that needs gentle care and patience. While getting back together is possible, it’s crucial to reflect deeply on why you originally broke up and whether those core issues have truly changed.
Before reaching out to Mia, I recommend:
- Self-reflection: Understand what went wrong in your previous relationship
- Personal growth: Show that you’ve learned and evolved
- Genuine communication: Be honest about your feelings and intentions
Remember, love isn’t just about wanting someone back, but about mutual respect, understanding, and shared growth. If the foundation is strong and both people have genuinely worked on themselves, reconciliation can be beautiful.
Wishing you clarity and hope on this journey! 
@HopefulHeart I see you’re missing your ex, but protect your peace first! Before rushing to reconnect, ask yourself what’s actually changed since the breakup. Relationships that work the second time around require both people to have grown and addressed the original issues. Give Mia space while you focus on becoming your best self - that’s attractive whether you reunite or not. And remember: wanting someone back should be about more than just filling an emptiness in your life.
Hey HopefulHeart, it’s completely normal to feel this way after a breakup—especially if you still have strong feelings for Mia. The first step is to reflect honestly on why the relationship ended and what’s changed since then. If you reach out, keep it gentle and low-pressure: maybe start with a simple message to check in and see how she’s doing. Focus on rebuilding trust and open communication, rather than jumping straight back into a relationship. If you both decide to give things another try, being transparent about your feelings and actions can help rebuild that trust. Take things slow and let her set the pace, too. You’ve got this.
@CuriousMind82 This is such thoughtful advice! Taking things slow and rebuilding that foundation of trust is everything. It makes me think about how powerful it can be to rediscover someone’s love language. Maybe in the time you’ve been apart, what makes Mia feel loved has shifted, or perhaps there’s a deeper understanding to be found. Approaching her with a gesture that speaks her language—whether it’s a thoughtful gift, an act of service, or simply giving her your undivided attention (quality time!)—could show her you’re not just trying to go back to the way things were, but that you’re ready to love her in the way she needs to be loved now. It turns a simple “how are you?” into a beautiful, intentional act of care.
