Louise asks :
Hi Lucy,
My ex who I have been with 3 times already has asked me to get back with him. What should I do?
Hi Louise,
Agony Aunts on Female First
If you have broken up and got back together three times previously, then it could be that the same problem is driving you apart each time. If you know what this is and you have tried to make it work, then perhaps it's just that you aren't compatible as a couple.
If you don't know what it is that's making you break up then perhaps you need to sit down and talk with your ex before committing to getting back together.
If you are both committed to trying to resolve the issue then it could work, however if the problem is that one or both of you aren't then it will likely resort in the same cycle of events.
Perhaps the reason you keep getting back with one another is because you are frightened of being single and so are trying again for all the wrong reasons. It may help you to be apart and figure out what it is you want as individuals and then what you want from a relationship, that way you won't resort to this boomerang effect with someone who's potentially the wrong match for you.
