In your experience, what percentage of people who break up get back together? Need honest opinions!?
And of those that do get back together, does it ultimately work out?
I tend to be a black/white thinker, you break up, there was a reason for that, if it is a serious one and not of timing (long distance relationships), then probably it is not a good idea to be rehashing romance after going through the emotional turmoil of breaking up.
But I have witnessed people who do break up and I wouldn’t see them getting back together, yet they do.
Please explain your views on second chances in love.

It really depends on how long the couple were dating, and what caused the breakup.
Couples that dated for a long time and had a bad breakup don’t tend to do well when they get back together. Especially because those long relationships tend to die a slow death, and the friendship that is the most important core of a long term relationship probably ended a long time before the sex did. When couples that had that be the case get back together, the same problems they had prior to the breakup still exist.
Couples that only went out for a short time have a better chance of success.
The bottom line is, people usually don’t change unless they are hurt enough and smart enough to realize what they did wrong. Then, they have to want to not make that mistake again.
Even armed with that knowledge, people are creatures of habit, and the same irritating habits will still be there.
i see where ur comming from… this guy who i was with we we’re 2gether for 3 months we’re pn a break because he’s in school so he dont have tme for me but we’re still friends i hav’ent talked to him in awhile tho… basically im giving him time and no i dont like break ups… they are common when someone breaks up with u they usually come back that happened to me with all of my boyfriends… the guy whose in school told me when he’s out of school then it could be me and him basically he telling me to wait for him but im not let me find mr. right to day its a done deal!
People change and grow after a break-up,the person who returns is sometimes totally different than the person you broke up with.
". it’s push-pull,pull-push,it’s dynamic,fluid, not as simple as black and white,but neither is real life.
There’s a sying,you never knew how good you had it till they’re gone,so you can appreciate the other person even more when you don’t have them.You appreciate the relationship even more.
It also depends on the reason for the break up if it’s not that major people make back up.
It also brings back the spark,because closeness has a friend vibe,when you’ve distanced yourself you see them more as a lover,it’s called make up sex l.o.l.
You actually love a person more after each break up,when they return you appreciate them lots and the love’s always greater.
Break ups are largely about boundaries,you only learn and respect another person’s boundaries when you go too far.You love em more and you respect em more when they come back.
Break-up,make up,arguing et are all part of loving a person.It’s the passion and fire in a relationship,ant live with em can’t live without em thing.They drive you up the wall when you’re with em,but when they’re gone you’re like"oooh I’d love to drive em up the wall or for em to drive me up the wall in a very good way
Relationships are beautiful
90% get back together and 0% work. i think people get back together cause they have nothing better to do. and they over look the fact that they are bad together, because they are a little lonely and miss that feeling of a relationship. I’ve been single for a while but that doesnt give me the right to abandon my standards and pick someone random just to have a relationship.
They get back together because they care enough to look at the past and make positive changes.
The percentage I do not know but I would say lower than higher because it is easy to say ‘i am sorry’ than to make the changes you need to make to show that we are.
