Let Sleeping Dogs Lie: 6 Reasons Not to Go Back to Your Ex

March 6th, 2012 - By madamenoire

By Angele D. Russell

We’ve all been there: break up with a guy, go out with girlfriends for a celebratory “he wasn’t worth your time” party, and then you wake up the next day wondering if you made the wrong decision. While you might still be holding enough feelings to believe he might change in the future, with some men, it’s best to just count your losses and take your experiences with him as a life lesson instead of running back. Here are six reasons why you should keep it movin’ and not give him a second chance.

    i never believed that this divorce would be canceled just exactly the way Dr ikuku told me that was how it happened.When Grey called me that he his no longer interested that he needs a divorce i was so shocking and wondering what made him to ask for a divorce it was just like a joke he filed the divorce and i got a letter from the court,i was just so shocking and having deep pain that why would Grey do me such a thing and we where suppose to come to the court to sign the divorce on the 20th of may,and it was getting late because i never wanted this divorce to take place there was no time i was just thinking and hoping for a miracle to come my way and make Grey forget about getting a divorce,But all my heart desire was granted with the help of Dr ikuku,After i read some interesting reviews about Dr ikuku helping a woman who are husband needed a divorce and it was almost late like mine.So then i contacted Dr ikuku and told him my problem he just told me not to worry that he assures me that everything would be okay and that Grey would cancel the divorce and beg me to forgive him,Dr ikuku told me that all this will come to past within 24 hours,i was like if this really happens i will testify his name to the whole world and i hoped on Dr ikuku to hear a good news,This was more than a good news the first call i heard was from the lawyer saying Grey came to his office and said he does not need a divorce any longer that he loves me and need me around,i was so happy in hearing that so as i was dropping the call Grey call came in and he told me in tears that i should forgive him and listen to him,Then i told him to come over he came over and we are together he loves me and said he does not need any divorce all he need is me he told the lawyer to come and change his will and every asset he owns to my name,Am so happy today and grateful for this wonderful thing Dr ikuku has done for me.You can contact Dr ikuku for help and get instant solution on ikukutempleofsolution@gmail.com or cell number +2348034458597 My name is Sarafina from the united state of America

    My name is ROSE JOHN , My husband left me for no reason on 24th of NOV 2012. He moved in with another woman, I felt like killing myself. I’ve tried different spell casters and went to different temples to pray but all to no avail. My life was very bitter and sorrowful. Then one day, a friend of mine told me about a DR. that is very good and does not even charge for his services, he said he gave him some lucky numbers that he played in a lottery and he won. I didn’t believe it because I’ve worked with so many of them and it didn’t work. He begged me further so I decided to try this great DR. calledDr Igbodo I contacted him and I gave him the necessary information. He didn’t ask for anything but he said after the spell works, I can pay anything in appreciation. I still didn’t believe. I used the spell he gave me and the next day which was on the 29th of Nov, 2012 I received a call and it was my darling husband JAMES. He apologized and came back to me. He even gave me 10,000USD as a means of compensating me. I’m now a very a happy woman. Thank you igbodospiritualtemple@gmail.com I will forever be grateful to you. You can reach him on his email: igbodospiritualtemple@gmail.com He can solve any problem. Try him today and thank me later’

    I had been all over the internet trying to find someone who could help me out with my situation, I loved my my husband so much but he never loved me rather he goes out with other females then one day I found prophetharry@ymail.com in the internet where he had helped many women who had the same issue with me, when i contacted him he said he will help me and just as he said. my husband concetred fully on me and he stopped all his bad habit I was astounded because so many say they are the best but can’t back it. but prof really surprised me till today, his love spell not only brought my husband back but also the spell made my husband to change to a good man

    Never get back with your ex. That is an unspoken rule of men.

    Thank you for this article. I am currently in this situation and although I’ve been with my ex for 19 yrs, we’re not compatible. Raising children alone is stressful but I will not settle for a loveless relationship. #doingme in 2012

      You are so welcome! You and your children deserve all the love you can stand! Don’t settle!

  • guest

    Where was this article 6 months ago. Granted its stuff I’ve already heard but confirmation is always helpful

    • http://twitter.com/angeledrussell Angele D. Russell

      So glad you liked it!! We all need confirmation and to hear things again, even if we’ve heard them time and time again!!

  • wehavetodobetter

    I’ve been dealing with this guy for 2.5 years. All of a sudden he just stops calling me. Come to find out he’s with someone else. It hurt so bad because I thought that we were growing in our relationship. It’s been two months & I’m in a good place. Great things are happening in my life since our breakup & I’m a peace with it. Thank you for this article. Please give more. It’s therapeutic.

    • http://twitter.com/angeledrussell Angele D. Russell

      So glad you are in a good place and are healing! Know that you deserve more that just “dealing with” a guy. The right one would never treat you that way; just be patient enough to wait for the right one!

    I had this same problem about 5 months ago when I wanted my ex back so badly. After sometime of begging I finally said the hell with it and left him alone. Weeks went by and I didn’t talk to him he was soon calling me saying that he wanted to work it out. But I don’t want to. I am fine with us being es’s

    • Mcgrady

      Good for you. Never lower yourself to begging anyone. Your better than that. Don’t go back

      • Trisha

        I think it’s harder when you have childern involved..My husband walked out on us almost 3 weeks ago..everyone says avoid him..it’s kinda hard when we have two girls together.I’ve been emotaional wreck and trying to stay strong…And when I talk to him my anger comes out even when i tell myself not too

        • Bernadette Robinson

          Sorry to hear that Trish. Its not too bad in my situation. Me and my ex have one child and the other he been in his life since birth… he calls him dad. My children are young but i can feel the heartache for them. me, i wish i could have my family but when someone is verbally abusive, it ain’t cool. i see him 5x a were cause he picks up the children. we barely talk and we never talk when he’s not here.

  • Untamable0881

    • Mcgrady

      Be strong! It does hurt and will for a while but this feeling will pass trust! Keep away and the more u do the easier it will be and you will look back happy

      • Rajo1

        Yep someone didn’t want ya a$$ so ur beingg a counselor. It’s ok take ya loss n STFU.

    • Angele D. Russell

      You are most welcome! Trust me, I only know of these things because I’ve been there myself; it was the only reason I knew what to write! You are stronger than you realize and you will definitely get through the rain! #promise

      • DXTASY

        This is why I will never date a woman who came off of a previous relationship. Too much emotional baggage and you just don’t know how long she will carry it if ever actually letting it go. Some of these comments it seems like the attitude some of you are carrying is out of this big wide world we live in there isn’t another man who can measure up to what you just lost. Come on now give me a break. If you’re going to cry and experience pain let it be because someone you loved and cared for has died, to me that’s true hurt and the greatest of losses not because some relationship has worked out whatever the reason was. Life’s too short. Find a good man and regain your happiness.

    Number 1. He’s/she’s your ex for a reason. It always returns like a bad sequel.
