Many factors: The answer depends on many things. Who decided to break it off? How long ago? Why? Probably many other things to consider. If you decided to break up, recall why u made that decision. If yr partner broke it off, recall what reason was given. If u were treated badly, why would u want to be w/ someone who treats u that way? All these are pure conjecture, and again it all depends on your specifics.
