Dear GhanaWeb: Is it ever a good idea to get back with an ex?

Dear GhanaWeb,

Michael and I broke up over a photo comment. It sounds funny but yes, it happened.

I do not cut ties with my exes because we broke up. I keep them around because no one knows what the future holds. I mean in terms of help.

Michael was very good to me when we were friends and he was a virgin in the dating space so when he proposed to me, I decided to be the first best girlfriend he had.

I love posting on my WhatsApp status and Michael was my number one commenter. Anything he comments, I reply by saying “I know I am foine”.

For some time, he stopped passing comments under my posts as well as ghosted me. I assumed he was busy but it happened for three consecutive days which was unlike of him.

I confronted him and not knowing, Michael went through my phone and didn’t understand why I send love emojis to my friends and exes when they comment under my post but for him, I just give him a straight response.

I accepted I was wrong and apologized to him. He forgave me and that was the end of our relationship. We didn’t officially break up but he ignored me. If I call him, it’s either he doesn’t pick up the call or he comes up with an excuse not to talk to me.

Imagine going through a broken heart during Covid...hmm.

After four years, this young man called me and according to him, he wants us to get back together. We have a date this weekend and will be expecting an answer.

I am single but do not know whether to accept him back or not.
