I waited from September through April! LOL And we did end up getting back, which by the time we did finally get back together I really didn't expect it! I guess I should let oyu know that in the mean time we were still seeing each other too!

Both times I got back together with the ex's, it was more disasterous than before. So now, ex's stay that way..ex'd. Don't waste your life looking backwards for too long.

He tried to come back to me about 4 months later...no way ..when I am out the door I am out the door.

Waiting for an ex doesn't really work. He/she might come back, but, if the person waited for them, then, that just means that whatever broke them up probably won't get better anyhow. Won't get better until both try hard to solve the problem. Anyway, yeah, I've never waited for anyone to come back. I would just feel like I was helpless if I did that.

Dont laugh but i was in love (well so i thought at the time) with a man and he came back 10years later, and when it came down to it i didnt want it! but my partner now, we had split last summer for 3 1/2 months and i never go back....he came back and still together!

i waited almost 3 years for my ex and now i have him back and been together almost 2 years

i waited 3 years and now i am happly wit him for almost 2 years

i have never waited for an ex. once they are an ex...thats that.

Well, to answer your question, I've been waiting 2 months now. But waiting never helps. You have to be assertive, get to the problem of why you're waiting. What broke you up? Try to patch things up. You always have to start over. Unless your lucky...

How long? More than a year. Did he come back? Nope. Not to pursue a relationship anyway. The result? I've moved on.

8 years.......which was good because she got her sentenced reduced for good behavior.

3 days. worst 3 days of my life.

I don't think I could wait on someone to come back.

Two months and they did come back but left me high and dry again after 1 1/2 months. now it's been 2 weeks and he emailed me saying he wants to try again...but only for friendship and sex!!!! crazy right!!

the reason why until now im still hoping that we can be together again is becasue he told me he'll find a way for us.. its been a month now...he left me with no explanation..no communication at all.. i dont know if its worth it waiting for him. but i must admit its all i wanted to do right now..

when my ex first broke up with me i waited. he was back in a week. the second time he brok up with me i waited and waited and he was back within a month. the third time he broke up with me was 5 months ago and ive decided not to wait around any more because despite the fact that i love him i just found out he's had a new gf for the past 3 months. think of it this way...while ur at home waiting on him, he has most probably found his way on top of someone else....

Like 3 months and nope. I really shouldn't have expected her too. I was an idiot, what can I say?

It's been almost a year since my ex and I broke up and I am still waiting, I still love him, and he's supposedly married now but I still believe he'll be back.

I did wait on my ex to come back we had be dating for like 6 years and he still called to check on me and everything. We never actually got back together. Year after we split up we were trying to get back together but it never worked out we were just two different people then we use to be. Even though I still love him and always will I know that we were not ment to be.

ive waited at least a month it depends how long you guys were goin out for to wait... me and my ex broke up about 5 months ago i still love him but i dont think he feels the same so if your ex isnt in to it then i would say dont wait around because you could be missing something

IT HAS BEEN 6 MONTHS... I HAVE MADE ATEMPTS TO GET HIM BACK WITH IN THIS TIME. I WAS CLOSE ONCE... BUT WE NEVER HAD SEX DURING OUR TIME, SO I PROPSITIONED HIM AND HE AGREED OF COURSE, BUT I FELT LIKE I LOOKED DESPERATE AND A CHASER... I JUST WNAT HIM TO SNAPP OUT OF IT AND COME BACK, I HAVENT MADE ANYMORE ATTEMPTS SINCE THAT LAST ONE, AND IM NOT. BUT I STILL LOVE HIM..

Well I was with a man for 2 years and I left him for various reasons and when we started seeing each other about 4 months later, it was only worse and we continued to see other people and each other for about a year before I just told him that it wasnt going to work unfortunately it was 2 kids later. We know comunicate better that we are not together. Some people just are not forgiving and some people dont change so there is no reason to wait it only gets worse.

4 years and still waiting. kind of.

Nope, not waiting. I don't want mine back!!!!

I didn't wait, but hoped for 6 years but he didn't. Now i'm here again, hoping for a guy, a different one... It's crazy! Something must be wrong with me!

Actually i only had to wait about a solid month before we got back together but I took him back because the reason for his departure was my fault so it was nothing to me. And if you comprehend well you;ll know that yes he did come back.

i waited 2 month but he found a girl so i just let go of my feeling i had for him because i knew there wouldn't be a chance

well i feel so stupid. i've waited for an ex like for 6 months because i realy did love him but now ugh its so worthless... i just need to move on. :(

Yes but only to mace me in the face..it really *really* HURT! I didn't press charges, but was able to find solace in that the other guy she was screwing was her next victim!

I waited a little over three months and yes, they did come back.

14 years and still waiting......

I've waited three months... and counting. It's a difficult situation to gauge... you find yourself in a state of quandary, since you really love the person and feel like you could wait forever for them to return, but then you're sitting around feeling miserable and wondering if they've moved on to greener pastures. The thing is... if you truly want an ex back, you have to show it. The reason why people break up in the first place is because they were not adapting well to the other person's character, and in order to be able to try it again both parties need to be willing to change their ways. It's not one person's fault why a couple breaks up, it's a combination of different dynamics that each party brings into the relationship. If one party is willing to change but the other is not, then chances are it may be time to move on. But then again, it takes TIME for these things to work out... you will never truly know whether it's worth waiting until some time has passed. Of course, this doesn't help if you're sitting at home pining and longing for this person day after day and night after night, since you shouldn't put your life on hold for anyone... but even still, I was reading the answers that people have been giving you and a lot of what they had to say is completely cynical. Everyone has been in that position of not knowing whether to move on or not after a break-up, and the truth is that every relationship is unique to the people that are contributing to it. If you feel that waiting is right for you, then wait. You, and you only, will know in your heart when it's time to move on, and no one can force you along. Break-ups are a grieving process, and grief is like a river... it moves very slowly, and it just takes time. I know what you're going through waiting around for an ex... it sucks. I love my ex-boyfriend to death and I wake up every day hoping that this will be the day when he will talk to me again, but right now I need to work through this process because you can't force yourself to magically get over someone. Of course, there comes a point when it might get unhealthy, but only you can decide what works best for you and how much time you need. It's a rough patch in life but it will all work out. Believe me. That's the only thing that keeps me going in my situation. Hang in there.

I never really waited but I really did love my ex.. I am dating some one currently and my ex decides to call me last nite.. to confess how much he loves me.. n how he wants me in his life.. shocked?? yes totally its been almost a year! I dont know what to do?! cuz i still love him.. :(

not come back to dating but to come back to being my friend... its been almost 6 months and i am still waiting.. i did my half. he has to step up and be a man : /

I've NEVER waited for an "EX" to come back . That is Silly ... That is why they ARE an "EX" ...

I've never waited but my ex came back after 18 years but I was already happily married with 3 children and, boy, was I ever happy she was my ex!

10 months. It was a complicated situation, but we're back and all is well.

I waited for 4 months, and no they did not, but now we are really good freinds. Good things can come out of waiting, and good things can come out of moving on. Its all up to how you feel. Don't move on until your truly ready.

i waited like a dummy for my ex and they came back in 4months. but we just broke up 3 weeks ago and im hurt all over again. if you kno yall are not meant to be dont wait on them. u should let go because not only will it give you a chance to meet someone new u will prevent a lot heartache and pain that can come if they decide to come bak.

i will wait forever. im still waiting. i will never stop waiting.

long story i was with him from the age of 13 to 15 we never spoke till i was 16 then got back together an 17 broke up at 18 and now 3 years later we're friends

Iv been waiting for 4 years now, still no sign of him coming back.

I have been waiting for 16 days now. I have not heard from him since we broke up the 12th of February, and I have not contacted him either as I want him to initiate contact. He was confused about his future because of different cultural backgrounds, but I hope he will come back soon and realize that he cannot live without me. We have been together for 9 years.

i waited my ex for 6 months but he didn't want to came back.. i stard datind my bf but my ex still live in a ,lil part of my heart... and that hurts...

2 yrs and yes he came back and we've been back together going on 4 yrs

Its been 6 months. I'm still waiting but I really feel like its meant to be and unless I find someone new I'm going to keep waiting. Its all very hard.

Well, it was more like a break but we kept in contact and spent time with each other still kinda just seeing where it would go and we were broken up for almost 3 months and got back together. We have been together ever since. Sometimes you need a break but her and I have never "seriously" broken up. We get into arguements and say its over but we call each other right back and get over it. If its real love and both of you want to continue the relationship then it will work out but if not then its just best to pick up the pieces and move forward.

a Year and no they didnt come back, i found some1 else. i think once someone becomes an ex theres prolli onli a 30% chance they might come back cuz da ones that i realli didnt want back came back. but da one i wanted back neva did..so good luck

years and i am still waiting.

4 months guess i wasnt as in love as i thought i was! they never came back

still waiting...and hoping for better...was trying to talk so many times to him...but still no forgivness...

Derrick, The answer that you gave on this subject speaks volumes, and it opened my eyes. My live in girlfriend of the past seven years, and I split up approximately seven weeks ago. She has an injunction against me for one year. Nine days after our court date, we were back in bed together which happens more than most might think. I love her very much, and she tells me that she loves me also, and that she wants us to be together. As a matter of fact, she has told me on a couple of different ocassions that we are still in a relationship which I find to be not only odd but confusing. If we are still in a relationship, then why aren't we spending time together, and doing things that couples that are in relationships do? I haven't seen her for eight days, and the last time it was nine days before I had seen her. We communicate via email mainly with her calling me when its convenient for her. I have been struggling with this situation for the past six weeks, and I cannot tolerate the misery that I have allowed myself to sink into. I love her dearly, but no one is worth destroying yourself over.

6 months and counting...but I'm not "waiting". I'm seeing the issues clearly and working on mine myself. We would both have to change, and he's dating someone else, so I can't see how he is working on things. Maybe he is, I don't know. All I know is I can't do fake friendship right now. If he wants to talk about us, great, but I'm not contacting him. He's contacted me a few times, but is dating someone else, so it is what it is.

2months ...

Two months and in quasi-wait mode. Why quasi? I truly love her, her reasons for the split had value in that she needed to work through her own sh*t for awhile, she doesn't seem to be dating anyone and I'm not ready to date to date anyone else now. I'm still hanging out with friends, going through my own growth and staying busy. In a nutshell, using this time to not "wait" but to "grow." Time will tell me to either move on when I'm ready or to get back with her if she's ready. I've decided to not worry about it, set boundaries for myself during this time (ie not get too excited if she shows signs of getting closer) and just learn to be patient. Time will reveal what will happen next without my need to control it.

1 year only to tell them face to face to get out of my face! :O) not really waited, more like I couldn't wait to tell him!

I have waited for an ex, and to be honest i wasted two years and twenty days of my life where i could have been happy and with someone else. He did not come back to me, infact he literally laughed in my face and pushed me down, but yes, i have waiting.

i just broke up with my partner of 2.5 years and she says she can't trust me and will only consider seeing me if I can sort that problem, so im planning to go to counselling. she says in the future there may be a chance to get back together but we have to start as friends first. the wound is so fresh that i can't eat or sleep and im stressed and have done things to make it worse and just annoyed her even more. i really don't know what to do i love her and am determined to make this right so i plan to wait and try and resolve some personal issues but im so scared during this process that she will move on. she doesnt even want to see me in person until ive sorted it.

Yeah, I waited about 3 years, and it did not work out the second time either, which is what usually happens. If they left the first time, the same issues may spark a breakup again. But you never know. Maybe in some cases it works, depending on did they realy love each other . But if you love someone, I dount you would have left them in the first place.

Don't wait. Find someone new or enjoy being single.
