Is it ever a good idea to resume a relationship with an ex? Can a broken friendship be reestablished?
Well, it depends on the circumstances, how you and the other person feel, and whether both parties are willing to make the changes to make the relationship work.
Here are some things to help you decide whether to give the other person another shot:
Family and friends may have concerns about you giving someone a second chance and that's because they care about you and do not want you be get hurt again. Briefly discuss why you are giving the other person another chance and let them know that's the end of it. It does not help when you have outside people buzzing in your ear when you are trying to repair a relationship. It may be best to keep them out of it.
Another thing to remember is that repairing a relationship takes a lot of work and there's a chance things may not work out and you may need to let go permanently. Take peace in the fact that you made an active attempt to make the relationship work.
There is nothing wrong with giving someone another chance because you have the right as a person to have whoever you want in your life. If the other person continues to do you wrong, it may be best to end things for good.
Until next time...
Take care,

Here are some things to help you decide whether to give the other person another shot:
- Reflect (on your own) the pros and cons of reconnecting with the other person. It helps to write it down.
- If the other person has wronged you in some way, you must decide to forgive them for your own peace of mind.
- Have a discussion with the other person about the deterioration of the relationship and let each other know what needs to change to make the relationship work. Further, both parts must agree to work on making the agreed changes.
