Would you rebuild a friendship with an ex who has contacted you to see if things can eventually work out?

Question

My ex and I broke up a few months ago and had no contact. I know I still have feelings for him and was extremely happy when he contacted me to see if we can rebuild our friendship, see if we can work out our issues and possibly, eventually get back together. Out biggest issue was communication, or lack thereof. I am afraid of getting hurt again. Is being friends with an ex you still have feelings for ever a good idea?

Answer 1

I would rebuild the friendship with him and don't go fast.

Just work on rebuilding the friendship and try hard to talk more.

If it doesn't work out relationship wise, still try too stay friends.

Answer 2

He is an ex- for a reason and personality traits don't magically change in a short period of time. You have doubts, since you mention the possibility of getting hurt, again. If you disregard that intuition, you just may be setting yourself back up for disappointment.

Answer 3

sometimes this can work. But if communication was your biggest issue, then if this is going to work, you had to have that. If not it's going to ail again. Be sure you want to start with him again. And be committed to make things work. You have to talk and be sure this is what you both want. good luck.
