When an ex comes back, it's natural to wonder whether they've finally realised what they lost. Maybe they miss you, maybe they've been thinking about the relationship or maybe they genuinely want another chance.
But missing someone and being ready to build a healthier relationship are two different things.
Before you get caught up in what they say you need to carefully look at what has actually changed.
Have they taken responsibility for what went wrong? Have they addressed the issues that broke you apart, and are they willing to do things differently, even when it's difficult?
You don't have to shut the door on someone just because they left, yet you don't have to open it just because they came back, either.
Would you give an ex another chance, or is some trust too difficult to rebuild?
