It depends on what the guy did back then as well as his offence. There are a lot of things that a guy can do that will kill the chances of ever accepting him back. For instance, breaking up with a guy I caught having sex with my sister. If it’s that kind of case, forget it.

If however, it’s a minor misunderstanding and I still love him, why not? The most important thing is for the love to be genuine. If on the other hand, I’m dating someone else and my ex-lover comes back pleading, I’ll take my time to weigh the love both claim to have for me and follow my heart.

Whether I will accept my ex-lover if he comes back to me? Well, it really depends on the circumstances surrounding our break-up. If it’s the kind of situation whereby we are still friends, we can still come back together.

If on the other hand, we split on a very ugly note, I doubt the possibility of taking back such a guy. As long as the break-up was based on certain unresolved issues, I will not accept him.

Owoyale Toyosi
Yes I can. What matters in a situation like this is the circumstance that led to our break-up. If we broke up due to minor misunderstandings, then we can always come together again. One must however be cautious with men like these. If I have decided to give the guy a second chance, then I’ll have to test him. I’ll drag him through a medical and emotional test to know if he’s the kind of person I can date. For instance, you don’t expect me to accept an ex-lover who is HIV positive.

I can’t do a thing like that especially if I have someone else in my life. If what caused our separation was embarrassing and bad, that’s another reason not to accept him. Another factor we have to consider is whether I’m now dating somebody else or not. If I’m now dating someone else, I’ll easily tell him no. Moreover, it’s dangerous to date a guy like that. You’ll never be able to tell his true motives. I know a lady very close to me who found herself in this sort of situation. She had broken up with the guy without the guy taking her to bed. The guy’s friends must have castigated him for not getting between the babe’s thighs. He came back for her and unfortunately for the babe, she thought he really loved her. Today, the rest is history but the harm was done.

I can do it. Why not. Look, the guy we’re talking about here has dated me before. I must however warn that if it must happen, there must be an agreement between us. All this will apply if I’m still single. If unfortunately for him, I’ve started another relationship, I won’t be able to accept him. For God’s sake, I’m hooked up so he has to go and find someone else.

Ikahon Jennifer
I can’t accept a guy like that. For what? No matter what happens, I’ll never do it. Why the hell did he leave me in the 1st place? The danger in it is that there’s a very high tendency that we might break up again. Whether I’m single or still dating someone else doesn’t change my resolve. No matter the circumstance that led to our break-up, I still can’t. I can’t go back to my vomit.

Oluwa Muslimat
Personally, I believe that true love mends broken hearts. If we have broken for a long time before he comes back and the love I have for him is still strongly felt in my heart, I can accept him back. Even if I’m dating someone else, it’s most likely I’ll return to my former love. I’ll do this because the love I have for him must be stronger than what I feel for the other guy.

Olajumoke Yusuff
Yes I can. If he comes back to me and apologises for all that has happened between us, why not? I believe I can still accept him if he promises me that we won’t ever have to break up again. For this to come to pass, the love I have for him must still be there. Even if I’m dating someone else and my ex-lover comes back, I’ll return to him because I strongly believe a lady’s 1st love is very vital.

Ayinla Olasumbo
Actually, I don’t take such guys back. I consider them leftovers. I can never go back to such a man. That’s my policy and I can’t do it.

Bunmi Tikare
Ah! It’s such a sensitive case. Firstly, we have to consider the possibility that the guy might have changed for the worse. Therefore, I can never date that sort of man again. It also depends on what he did that led to our break-up. Whatever happens, the bottom-line is that I can’t go back to him.

Ogunsayo Wande
I can never think of accepting such a guy back into my life especially if he broke up with me. I can’t do it because he’s a traitor, betrayer of love, a murderer. He stabbed my heart the first time. Therefore, I will never allow my heart stabbed a second time. For me to have left him the 1st time, I’m sure he’s not the innocent type. I just won’t take him back.

Lolade Oginni
Of course I can. If he comes back to me and I realise I’ve missed him, I can. If I regret breaking up with him, I’ll most likely consider his proposal positively.
