I know we all want to romanticize the idea of getting our ex back and it is a possibility only if you grow work on what you failed at in your prior relationship and they also grow but I will tell you one thing if they move on and they date someone new after you do not take them back you do not want someone else to be the reason they were shown why they want you you're not their fallback option if you take a break from someone to break up the two of you have some time work on yourselves and come back to each other that's fine But don't except someone else playing field coming back to you as their best bet second option
