How do you know if you just miss your ex or you genuinely want them back?

How do you know? What are the signs? Trying to figure this out now.

Too many details missing. Why didn’t you break up? How long hasn’t it’s been? Has anything changed in your life since?

Wait six months. During that six months, work on you. Therapy, workout, take classes, spend time with friends or make some new friends. After you’ve become the best version of yourself, with a full life, then reevaluate. If being with them will be value added to your already good life, then maybe see if something could happen.

But you broke up for a reason. So unless something has changed, don’t do it.

I’ll take a stab.

I think if you miss your ex but your life is better without them then it’s just simply missing your ex. However, if you miss your ex and your life is worse without them/better with them in it you want them back. This doesn’t include fundamental differences, cheating, abuse, etc.

You broke up for a reason.

Are you willing to commit to this person for life?
Are they willing to commit to you for life?

If not marriage, don't bother getting back together. You both/ or one of you needs more maturity.

Oh whatever. I hate when people say that. People get back together and stay together all the time.

99% of the time you miss your ex.
You broke up for a reason and there is a strong likelihood that reason did not go away or will stay away for good. Remember that.
People are who they are. Very very very few ever really change long term and certainly not because of a breakup

Good grief. Not all good relationships need to end in marriage.

Depends on why you broke up. People can change.
Not every relationship should be discarded forever.

You can't trust your feelings right now. It's called "lonely during quarantine." Revisit these "feelings" after the world opens back up.

I started missing her before the quarantine though...

Think about how he or she acted when they were at their worst and what caused you to break up with them. Then imagine you took them back and they continued to act exactly like that most of the time. If that's okay with you, then you want them back.

If you only think about the good times, you just miss them.

Np. Have a bf like this. On and off for some years. He's cute sexy with the best looking penis. I'm addicted so is he. He's a little younger than me but I can't let go. He's definitely held me back though and plummeted my self esteem. Hard to let go.

Let me guess. She started dating someone else?
