After that bad break-up, you spent the required amount of time regrouping and now you've officially moved on. Or so you thought. But there's still that occasional pang of regret. Especially if you happen to run into your old honey.

We ask He and She: do you ever really get over past relationships?

He Says:

It's normal to occasionally wonder about what might-have-been, or get a little wishful about what-could-still-be. Especially when she's moving on and looking all happy - and hot! - with some other guy. Or if you're on the rebound from another breakup, or, heck, just really would like some distraction from your lonely life. But people who were thoughtful in the breakup, and are a healthy distance from it now, are generally content (or at least okay with) loving, losing and learning from it. They're not interested in rehashing the past; they don't need a "do-over" for closure.

She Says:

Of course you're going to want him back in moments of weakness, when you're feeling lonely or sad or just had three terrible first dates in a row. But often, I find it's not really the ex specifically that we want back. It's something else. Maybe it's just having another warm body in bed with you. Or someone to lean on when you've had a rough day. Nostalgia always plays a role, too. Often, it's not the ex we want back as much as it's our smaller waistlines, thicker hair, or fresh-faced youth. Either way, it's a perfectly normal feeling. You just should think twice before acting on it!
