Here’s why I think giving the person you broke up with another chance makes sense…

I’ll start off by saying that in the past, I would never have considered rekindling a relationship; no matter if I was the dumper or the dumpee. But: I’m a bit older and wiser now and have changed my thoughts on this. So, here goes: If during the relationship there was no cheating, you both trusted each other, felt safe, had a unique bond but there were clearly issues, like arguments, needs not being met, inconsistencies that lead you to break up, then that’s fair. However, if the person you have broken up with accepted the breakup and stated that they were going to work on themselves to become a better version of themselves (for themselves; not for you) then I as a dumper would consider reaching out after 2-3 months. Here’s why: a person who hits rock bottom and because of that understands that change needs to happen and implements those changes is by far a better “option” as a partner than someone new; because that someone new is a person you know little to nothing about and could, 6 months down the line, end up being the worst person you’ve ever met. At least with your ex, you had a bond already established. Thoughts??
