Hey everyone, greetings from Thailand ... Have a question for you all!
Just got out of a 3 year relationship 3 months ago and we both like each other a lot but there was some issues in our past relationship that made us break up. Now since we have graduated and travelled we both have matured and figured out what we did wrong.
Knowing that i figured out what happened and still love him deeply should i go back to him and pursue our life? Or just let him go?
Cheers

I honestly think it depends on what it was that happened and what has changed since then.

Hi Sparkle24 - hope you're enjoying Thailand! Isn't it amazing how we can check in from all over the world?
That's one HUGE question you've posted! Sounds like you're feeling 'older & wiser' now ... travel is good for that. Three months apart isn't really all that long, so I could imagine that you might still feel you love him.
I can't really advise you on what to do ... that will have to be your own decision. Getting one's head and one's heart into synch sometimes is a bit challenging, but I trust that you will, after a while, know what to do.
Travel well!

I'd like to know more about the situation and it's past before offering suggestions. What were the issues? How have you felt every day since breaking up? Did he break your heart? Is he good for you and your future? Do you share common goals? Do you ache for him and miss him every day?
I must admit, I might be busy over the next week and not have much chance to get back, but I will check when I can.

I have exes I got back with and it was a disaster, and one that I married and it was a good thing. It worked for my parents...they broke up twice before they got married and they will celebrate 43 years this August. I think it depends on why you broke up and whether or not those issues have been solved.

Three years is a very long time to be with somebody, and three months is a very short time to be broken up. Although you can't control your heart, sometimes it's really important to think logically about a relationship.
I have a friend who broke up with her boyfriend of about 3 years or so, they didn't have problems per se, more like they felt they needed some time apart. Fast forward 6 months later, they are back together and are getting married next fall.
My story: I was on and off with a guy for 2-3 years. We broke up, got back together...still the same issues kept coming up, despite talks and promises. I finally cut myself off from him completely. That lead me to my current boyfriend of 4 years. He is the most amazing man I know, we have a very happy, healthy relationship. I can't even imagine not having him in my life.
Nobody can tell you what to do, only offer their experience and every experience is different. Only you know if you want him back in your life :)
But remember, "sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together" :)
That was my experience! :)

Excellent saying Wesoly! I like it - lots of wisdom there.
