Many of us find ourselves in situations where we question whether or not the idea of taking back our ex partner is a rational decision. There are many essential factors to consider when deciding whether or not a relationship is repairable. If both you and your ex have acknowledged and accepted responsibility for your part in the relationship’s downfall, then this is a good sign that it can be mended. On the other hand, if there are still untreated addictions and mental health issues, it may be best to stay apart.
Key Takeaways:
- If there is an active addiction present in one of you, it is imperative to wait until they are sober with a good support system.
- If they have a mental illness that they still won’t agree to treat, it is best to put reconciliation to the side.
- Ask yourself if this person still inspires you in the ways that have the ability to make you thrive.
