Do Aquas ever come back?

I had posted twice before asking about my Aqua ex and received great insight and advice. I’ve been doing some soul searching and, truthfully, came to some realizations about things I need to work on.

I ended it with my ex in May. I reached out via email 3 weeks post breakup asking to get together to talk. He said no, that there was finality in the relationship, he was starting the process of grieving/moving on, and that if he wanted to talk, he’d reach out.

I truly do want to apologize for my part in the demise of the relationship. Some of what I discovered are life lessons that I’ll carry permanently - not just “to get him back”. I would like to try again with him. In a lot of ways he got me more than anyone else.

Do Aquas ever come back? Do they listen to the reasoning in apologies? I realize that I hurt him and will need to make amends. How overly prideful and stubborn can they be?

What was the reason for the break-up?

you realized you need to work on some things .... have you started already?

I think some "visible" evidence that you worked on things, some proof?

do you know about him? (like, does he have a girlfriend now or in the meantime? what about you? have you had a boyfriend in the meantime? - sorry, I dont remember the backstory)

Edit: okey, I found the backstory topic... If it was just this May (the break-up), I would let it be for now... he will be back, but I am not sure if in month time..... more likely in 3 - 6 -12 months time... with aqua sun and scorpio moon the reaction time is quite long

I just dont understand why you didnt move in with him?

if you think your emotional needs are/were not satisfied with him, then you will have to let it go... now you think the marriage is the "litmus test" of his commitment, but believe me it hardly is.... do you want to be in a marriage where your emotional needs are not fulfilled? do you think having a paper of marriage is a proof you will be happy? you may nag him about the marriage so he eventually gives in.... he will be resentful and you will not feel loved and will divorce him because you will be not happy...

so the main thing is, do you think you would be happy with him?

My brother lives with his girlfriend, they have a child and they are a family.... I think my brother is secretly planning to propose her in a romantic fashion, when the time is right... not because it should be like it... the girlfriend sometimes has outburst: "he doesnt want to marry me" and we are just laughing about it, so she calmed down about that part a bit 🙂 when time is right, it will come

one of my friends, Aqua, has the same with his girlfriend, they are family, building a house, they have a child....

both Aquas are committed, are hands-on dads.... marriage is happening for them right now, just its not in an official paper

if you sacrifice your good relationship where you are happy with your man just to get an official paper, then its your choice and your need - dont wait for him in that case, because it will take years, just go and find somebody who is hellbent on marriage like you

Some of my issue with moving were purely family related - not wanting to leave my mother who lives close by. The other part was not sure about giving up my condo - where I've lived for 10 years, and is walking distance from work. If I moved up by him, my commute would be about an hour long via bus/train. He was very committed seeming (always wanting to be together, inviting to family events, etc) but I felt uneasy moving in without some form of commitment.

I think I would be happy with him - with better communication. Living together would have alleviated some of the "spending time" issues - and I do think that I nagged the marriage issue too much and way before I was even ready. Not that this is the end all be all, but this was the farthest either of us had gone in a relationship before - he's 35 and I'm 34. I'm his second ever girlfriend and longest relationship.

I pray there's still hope. I'm still close to his Aunt, and reached out to her asking her to talk. She said she'd love to talk - I'm sure she figures I'd ask about him. I'd ask her if it was worth it to reach out to him/if he would even talk to me.

Thank you for your comment 🙂

you know the circumstances..... generally, its not a good idea to drag his family members into your personal issues.... but you yourself know the best.... I would definitily not ask his family members, thats for sure.... it looks desperate to cling on to everybody connected to him, because he is not talking... but only you know the family dynamics, so do what feel the best

I had thought about that too. I wouldn’t have reached out to her had she not been in touch with my mom and me a fair amount since the breakup (texting, FB messages). I figure if she tells me to let it go and that he really is happier alone, I’ll let it go.

Comeback as comeback to an ex? I only did that once.



I'm not against swallowing my pride...if he'd listen to me, I'm just not sure if he'd want to hear it.

Why you're not not sure?

I definitely would apologize and explain some issues (on my end) that came to light and how I’m working through them.

Truthfully, I’m not sure if he’s still upset and just “over it”. I know he’s so incredibly stubborn and realize he might rather be alone than deal with me/the relationship again.

You rock for responding to my posts 😁
