The end isn't always, the end

You know, not in all cases but sometimes, when things go wrong and a couple makes a split, in the end or down the road a bit they do reconcile. And it is for the better, ie. not going down the same sad road again or making mistakes. Maybe they realize what they meant to each other and in the future try a bit harder to make it work instead of just quiting so easily.

All of these posts are so sad and hopeless.

Anyone here, ever have a happy ending after a breakup?

My bf and I actually met and dated briefly 24 years ago when I was 24 and he was 21. We were not serious at the time, I was newly divorced and he was separated, so nothing came of it then. We ran into each other a few times over the years but never really talked much. Then last year he sent me a message through an internet dating service not knowing who I was. After a few emails I figured out who he was and asked him if he remembered me. He did, we started dating and a relationship developed. One of our favorite phrases is "who'd have thunk it?" We've both been through a lot in the last 24 years and what probably would have never worked back then just might now. You just never know what can happen.

Well, if that isn't fate I dont know what it :)

I have let mine go. If he wants to ever find me, he can. Otherwise, the pain of thinking we will get back together when it is futile, or even the hope for it, is just a little bit too much for me to bear anymore :(

Hugs I know how you feel. The pain is great and you want there still to be hope so the pain is not so intense but eventually you will have to even let go of that hope, which I'm working on doing now. Try to start a new life for yourself without him and try to forget. All really really difficult things to do but necessary for your growth and to start over again. You never know anything can happen and the strangest things do happen and your paths could cross again but for now let him go and the dream of him go because you guys broke up for a reason. In most cases, people who break up don't get back together and make it work because it is very difficult to, but there are a few that do. I'm trying to regain new hope that there is someone better out there for me than him now because it is a healthier hope than hanging on to the hope that he'll come around and want to change or can change. For now concentrate on you and be kind to yourself. Do things that you enjoy and make you happy.

I have a happy story. I was 16 when I met my bf and we have been together for 3 years on and off. We took a break 6 months ago and something clicked in him one day and he came to my house after a month and we talked and had a good conversation. Anyway, I think this is it between us, I really think he's the one. He has matured and really is willing to change his life for the better, I haven't been happier. It wasn't always like this, we both did alot of wrong in the relationship and acted so immature but I guess we got sick of the drama and just wanted to really settle down.

YES on reuniting and I reunited with a divorced husband after years of no contact - we were able to apologize for all the bad stuff and had grown up too. I want to add that one of the 'great things in life' is THE FIRST KISS and you can only get that in a new relationship :)
