Can anyone tell me whether things work out if you get back with an ex - twice!

Hi - can anyone tell me whether things work out if you get back with an ex - twice!

My partner and I had been together for 4 years when I ended the relationship - long story but I felt that we were at different points in our lives etc. He is also 7 years older than me. We didn't live together so there was nothing messy to sort out. That was February 2007. He kept contacting me and eventually around August 2007, we got back together. Something in me however had changed and I didn't feel the attraction for him that I should and although I talked to him about this, he said we'd get back to how we once were with time.

To cut a long story short, we didn't get back to how we once were and I ended things again in March this year. He has seen me out and about and desperately wants us to try, yet again.

What can I do? I know deep down that he thinks the absolute world of me. I'm convinced that if we did try yet again, it would end in tears and the cracks would be there further down the line. There is still something there between us, not sure what but when we have seen each other, we've chatted like we've never been apart - soul mates really.

Am I being completely daft in letting someone pass by that thinks so highly of me or would it end in disaster again?? I know that nobody is perfect and the perfect relationship doesn't exist. Part of me would try again and part of me thinks never go back - after all it's ended in disaster already.

Has anyone else been through the same - any advice would be appreciated. Many thanks.

katatonik agony auntWhat didn't work out in your relationship the first two times? if some or all of those factors have changed then you can try again with a good conscience. If nothing has changed then you are simply going back to something that you have already seen doesn't work. Good luck =]
