Has anyone ever started up a relationship with someone that you broke up with for a lengthy period of time? I'm referring to more serious relationships where the two were going steady or were married, broke up for a year or more, and then the same two people started going steady again or married again. It happened to Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton. They were divorced a little over a year in between.
yes, I think you'll have exactly the same relationship, but if you really missed each other you may tolerate more.. very generally speaking - people don't change.. the taylor/burton pair both drank heavily.. precious few relationships can survive that..
The second marriage of Burton and Taylor lasted less than a year. I can see there being a better second time if the two people were young and immature the first time around and then became more seasoned with handling life the second time.
yes this exact scenario happened to me quite recently this relationship was my most exciting, my most heart breaking, my everything as much as I try to convince myself that I am, I'm still not over him we've seem to finally cut ties..it just became far too complicated and convoluted but is it really over between us? I'm never sure..
Well, I'm not sure that it counts since I was 14 and he was 16 when we got together, we were only together about a month, and then broke up for almost a year and then got back together. Second time around lasted a week. lol. My husband and I broke up for like 3 hours a long time ago, but once tempers calmed and our friend decided to mediate, we got over it. But yeah, 3 hours doesn't really count either. We were just mad.
I don't think this counts but I dated someone seriously, we broke up for like 3 years then reconnected and had this flirty thing going on for a while...culminating in a night where we made out and spent the night together but decided it wouldn't be a good idea to have sex. whatever we were trying to start again fizzled out and he started dating his future wife like a week later. I think we were both scared that all the problems that drove us apart in the first place would still be there.
No. But if I wasn't married I'd maybe be with my first boyfriend, after 15 years apart. So, I believe it could happen and work. But most likely if I really wanted to be with someone I wouldn't leave them in the first place.
Kind of, but more a series of mini breakups. I've become friends with all of my exes that were serious (after some time for most), except for one. But that's because she's a succubus :sunny:
My ex. We were together for around 6 months, then I broke up with him because he didn't make much of an effort to see me (he lived 2 hours away) and I found myself straying and I didn't want to be tethered to someone when I started having feelings for someone else. The relationship was pretty good but it didn't last longer than a month (we're still friends though), should've known that another long distance relationship wouldn't work lol...but if he had been closer I think it might have. Anyway, soon after that ended I felt lonely and missed the first ex I mentioned and we got back together. It lasted around another year, he was my first sexual partner, and we got engaged. A week later I found out he was on a dating site (online at the very moment) when he told me he was working. So I called him and dumped him. Now I'm engaged again but with the right man for me.
