writes: My ex left me two years ago and after a messy split I thought I was moving on with my life (although I stil loved him). We ran in to each other and arranged to meet, we did and he wants me back. Now I'm not sure if I want him. I'm worried about other peoples reactions as my family and friends hate him and disapproved of our relationship before. I'm not sure if I want to try dating him again and see how I feel as not sure it would be worth all the arguments with my friends and family, but then another part of me is saying i should give it one last try. What should I do? Reply to this Question Share |

rhosyn is verified as being by the original poster of the questionhe never changed, my advice to those of you that have doubts about a relationship is to leave it well alone because there is a reason for that doubt even if you can't explain it.

rhosyn is verified as being by the original poster of the questionMen I just don't understand them!! On thurday (18th of Jan) we agreed that we would give it another go but on Friday (19th of Jan) he sent me a text message in the afternoon saying he didn't think it would work out. he's the one thats been pushing it along and then I agree and he changes his mind. I asked him why and he said he didn't want a relationship. How can he change his mind that quickly? I just don't get it! Should I pursue it and try and get a better explanation and see if we can work whatever is bothering him out or just leave well alone? I'm really confused now don't know what to do.

It doesn't really have anything to do with your friends and family who you date but it sounds like you're using that as an excuse to show yourself that you don't want to get back with him. You don't say why you broke up originally. Think back and think if those reasons still exist and whether YOU really want to be with him, because if you do the friends and family won't even be a blip on your radar!

I suggest you try dating without telling your friends and family to start off with and see how you get on now the dust has settled. If things work out well then you can break the news gently and tell them you are happy being reunited with your ex. It's your life and you are free to make your own choices, whatever the consequences with your friends and family, but hopefully they will what whatever makes you happy. If you start seeing your ex again try not to dwell too much on whatever the cause of your split was as may open old wounds and the same thing could happen again. Proceed with caution all round. Best of luck.
