Don't confuse what you are doing. It sounds like you are being unforgiving and a little cruel.If you honestly care for that person and they live a decent life yes,take them back! One of the greatest things we can give each other is forgiveness and acceptance. The only reason not to take them back is if they cheated on you.  There are some things that are deal breakers and betrayal is one of them but cruelty and oppression of the spirit are two others.

I think it will be very rare if a situation like that works out.

Not worth it, there are so many women in the world, might as well get a new experience and make new memories. Especially if she now has guy friends in her life, more of a reason to cheat.

The Bible says a lot of crap.  Don't take it all so literally.

I knew someone who did and she divorced him TWICE... if he's unfaithful, I wouldn't do it... other reasons, maybe???

I always say an ex is an ex for a reason. Take one back? Why? So it can not work all over again?  :dontknow:
It depends on the reason they are an ex. I know a couple that divorced after 25 years because they just sort of grew apart. They remarried and have been remarried for 9 years now.

Exes are exes for a reason.  There is a reason you broke up.  Most people don't break up because they are madly in love.

Why put yourself through the same trauma that caused you to divorce in the first place.  A person doesn't change their personality, no matter how you try to convince yourself that they have changed.

My opinion is yes if you have kids together to take care of the family.

I think it really depends on why they split up in the first place. If it was because of abuse, then no. Cheating... probably not (they'd have to do a lot to rebuild that trust and to show that they had changed). Drugs / alcohol abuse... again, probably not unless they could show with a certainty that they are trying to control their addiction. Immaturity... Perhaps; we are unfortunately built to be attracted to a sexual partner before we've truly come to grasp what a life-long commitment means. I've heard of high-school sweethearts that married right after graduation, got divorced a year or two later for being too immature when they married, but then after they grew up they connected again and went through a more mature courting relationship, focusing not only on the physical attraction but also the other qualities that provide for a more solid basis for marriage, and ended up re-marrying. Financial reasons... again I think these reasons act like maturity in that a couple may get caught up in the whole marriage idea (or physical attraction) without considering their financial state of readiness for marriage. And if their financial state changes (perhaps they married and divorced while in college, but now they have good-paying jobs and can handle marriage better), they may be able to handle financial pressures of a marriage better.

Typically if a person is your ex...there is a reason behind it.
Before you take the person back, I think people need to think about why said person became an ex in the first place.

I HATE when people use kids as a reason to take someone back. It's worse for your children if you're with a person because of your kids because you're miserable with your significant other, rather than finding someone that makes you and your children happy.

A tough question all around.  For cheating?; no. For physical abuse?;no. Growing apart?; possibly.  A lot has to do with the maturity of each individual and knowing who they are and what they want and expect out of life from each other.  Sometimes you can still remain the best of friends but go on with your separate lives.
