What was the typical thought process and overall state of the relationship between you and her/him during the whole ordeal (from relationship, to breakup, back to being in a relationship)?
Not to sound like a man with false hope.... but I'm just curious.

Ex boyfriend/girlfriend or ex-spouse? There's a big difference.

100% misguided nostalgia. Often times former relationships are easy to get sucked back into because people conveniently forget about why they separated in the first place.
I gave up a great girl once to get back with an ex. Never again.

In short...we separated and decided to get back together after about a month and a half (this was my marriage, not dating). Things were never the same; too many things to get over. For my part I just couldn't muster enough "good" emotion to trump the bad. We gave it our best shot but it just didn't work out.
The one thing I will say is that even though it didn't work out in the end, I am somewhat glad that I gave it a try. Nothing worse than regret and wondering "what if."
The notion that nothing changes rings true. Well better said as the more things change the more they stay the same. It is usually prone to failure, unless you learn to deal with each other after the fact.
there are stories like mine. My husband and I are previous HS & College sweethearts, went our own ways after that and got back together 20 years later. We did not have many 'issues' to get over. The biggest one is dealing with his ex-wife now, and what she's doing with their kids (using them as weapons).
So, I think it depends on what you mean by ex, and the time frame. I am sooo glad that I'm past my 20's & 30's, I have learned and lived so much about life and relationships, and really feel that this experience has made our relationship all the more healthier and happier.
I reckon a lot of people opt to try again for the kids, but personally I didn't leave until I already knew for sure it was over. (because I didn't want to put the kids through that.)
