ComebacksHave you ever taken a man you dumped back after a significant period of time(five months or more)? Why did you take him back and how long did it take to take him back? Did it work out in the end? Are broken relationships salvageable? What can a man do to get you to take him back? - Asked by A Creative, Male, 36-45, Other Profession |

My husband dumped me for another girl a few years ago. I took him back about 8 months later. I took him back because I felt it was a marriage and I should at least try to make it work. I almost instantly regretted taking him back, but I still kept trying to make it work. I guess some relationships are salvageable, it depends on why the relationship ended to begin with and the maturity of each. I in turn dumped him after getting back together about 9 months later. The way he got me back was begging and threating to kill him self! If you are trying to get someone back I would just stay in touch with that person and avoid begging. And if that person wants to take you back let them say so on their own. Getting back together has to be natural and mutual, just like when a couple first gets together.

They are salvageable. If you've done the inner work that lead to problems the first time and have changed in a postive way. Anything is possible. I certainly would take a former love back if he'd grown up a bit and was in the same place I was emotionally.

After my man broke up with me and went back to his ex I thought I'd never get back with him but after 8 months he called me. It took just a couple days for me to get back with him....it's called LOVE. We are married now and have a beautiful daughter :)

Me and my boyfriend were together 2 and a half years, and split up for a year last year, it was his decision. We've now been back together for a year and it's just as great as before, we actually have more of an understanding of each others space and have not argued once! There was never really any "salvaging" just more of a mutual realization that we're happier together.
