Any of you ever taken a man back after he left you for someone else? How did/didn’t it work out for you?

Save your time and your feelings- don't do it

No. If he left you, he made his bed. You don’t owe him shit.

There’s one thing breaking up and working on yourself and reconnecting. But it’s another that he chose someone else over you, and now wants to come crawling back. You deserve to be someone’s first choice.

Yes. Together 5 years and counting

Wasn’t so much about him convincing, moreso that I knew it was more because he was young and immature rather than indicative of a character flaw. Whereas if it happened at like 40 years old I’d think there’s no hope

Chased me back (across countries), then cheated on me with a mutual friend who he then married

Yes, I did. Gist of the story:

He went through a breakup from a serious relationship and they were on/off for a while. We met on Tinder. After spending more time together and me developing feelings (but not in a relationship yet), she came back into his life and they hooked up multiple times behind my back. I find out and leave. He wants me back and cuts things off with her. Month later he starts talking to a girl he knew in HS. I freak out and leave. They hookup casually for about a month. He breaks down and wants me back, I eventually come around.

It took a long time before I was comfortable with the idea of an actual relationship with him and he didn’t push for it either. The only rationale I have is that he was legitimately in a very bad mental space and dealing with deep depression. When I could tell that he was actually lifting himself out of it (getting back into hobbies he had abandoned, opening up more, even looking physically healthier and not wearing constant bags under his eyes), our relationship started to naturally improve.

It’s been two years now that we’ve been in a real, committed boyfriend-girlfriend relationship and we’ve lived together since the start of the pandemic. It’s taken me a while to stop having so much anxiety about the past and I definitely have my dark moments, but therapy has helped and he’s been very understanding and working to right those wrongs.

That sounds like quite a ride, I am happy it worked out for you.

Someone took me back when I broke up with them to be with someone else. We are married now.
