I Am Afraid of Rejection
Have any of you ever gotten back with an ex? What was it like? Was it successful? I can't help but be insecure that they'd just leave again because nothing stopped them then.. what will stop them now?

My boyfriend cheated, not sexually, eventhough he admitted he had feelings for a junior from our college. I wasn't confused or devastated as I expected because I knew something was wrong with him as he was really depressed and angry with himself a few days before he confessed.
Our relationship had not been in good shape a year back and that was when he met her. But it took a new turn at the start of year and he felt guilty for having the affair. He ended it before he confessed. I was mad, I cried for two days. My friends and family said not to take him back when he asked for a second chance.
I know cheating cannot be rewarded but I always listened to my heart and I knew he was worth a second chance. I was ready to take risks and I took him back. It was awkward at first, I thought I was making a mistake but for some weird reasons our relationship became stronger as if we knew about each other and ourselves deeper. We had no problem sacrificing for each other and we even started to talk about our future. He used to be hesitant when I asked about our relationship. What's more happier is that he's more serious about his job.
I am not saying one should always consider giving their exes second chance. If you feel you should do it, you must. Otherwise, don't even look back.

@lka2802 In this case I try to cope with that. It's a difficulty that can be overcome by willpower. Yes I am still attracted to my exes (physically) but I am a free woman. I have even visited one of my exes in Berlin for a full week, and slept in his apartment (!), to find out more about how he's doing now.

yes I did and I regret it, because my feelings might've changed about what he did, but he was still the same person

No. My exes are all that way for a reason. Once they are gone, there is no coming back.

@PrivateHell do you ever miss them? what about relationships that end on good terms?

It will get bad again, people mostly never change, so you really should move on.
