Rarely do people take back their exes. And normally I would never do that. This statement is not crapping on any of my exes at all, mostly because they are great guys. I'd never hate on them.
But this person, in particular, came into my life suddenly, aka we kissed at a dance. The relationship was kind of random and spawned from us finding an instant connection in two short hours. So, a few months later when I broke it off, it still sucked.
Luckily, we were able to be friends and grew closer than we had been those few months together. At that point, I never thought we would get back together. You know when someone is like your brother? Yeah. That is how I considered it.
Then he left school for the semester to join up so he could pay for college, and we missed him a lot. And, yes, I know he might read this. I just don't want to get it wrong.
Anyway, all of us stayed in touch and the day he could return would be great. It was just hard not having one of my best friends at school.
Did we discuss dating again initially? Not really. It was more on how I studied so much I would kill myself and so on. Apparently, I'm too into it, go figure.
But when he and I finally discussed the topic it didn't feel weird. There was still something there that had never faded. And everyone else seemed to notice it too.
Do I recommend this is for everyone? Heck no! There can be some scummy people out there that do not deserve second chances. But I got lucky. We respect each other, care, and know how to annoy.
I'm glad to have him back, even if I'm not sure where we started back from.
Will it be difficult if he gets deployed somewhere? Absolutely. But I'm proud of him, and he works extremely hard. Whatever happens, he's someone I want in my life.
