Your ex broke your heart when he left. Now he wants you back. How on earth can you open my heart up to him and take a huge risk like that again? It's a fairly common question these days but one that has some degree of merit to it. You don't want to recklessly risk your heart and yet your heart is begging you to take the risk right about now. Sound familiar? It's true. Your head can be telling you no, no, no. But your heart and your head sometimes operate at cross purposes. The one thing you need to know is that second chances do not always require to you dive all-in in order to make them work. You could take baby steps and allow trust that he isn't going to hurt you again build up over time.

Now is your opportunity to take a moment and really decide what you'd like to see happen in the future with your ex boyfriend. Are you even interested in working things out with him? In the beginning you may have prayed, begged, and made all sorts of bargains with God to get him back. Now that the opportunity is staring you in the face and a little time has passed it may not seem all that important to get him back. Or, you may have decided that the pleasure isn't worth the pain in hindsight.

You've been hurt before. If you want to walk away and avoid the risk altogether no one is going to judge you for that. But, if you've been miserable without him in your life, are you really willing to risk missing out on the possibility of happily ever after that you would miss out on if you don't take your ex back in this situation?

You better believe it's a risk. Unfortunately, the most intensely pleasurable things in life all carry some degree of risk. There is no such thing as risk-free love. But, with high risks come high rewards. The real question in this situation is one you need to ask yourself. It isn't if you can afford to risk your heart by giving your ex a second chance. The real question is can your heart afford not to take the risk. If you still love your ex, now is the perfect time to get your ex back and play for keeps. Is your heart ready to take the risk?
