You pay per answer, never per minute, and your first answer is free.
An ex who returns after two months of silence has answered the easy question: he misses something. The hard question is whether what he misses is you, or the comfort of being missed, and whether anything in him has actually changed since the reasons you split. One answer from a named human, free to start with no card, reads the return itself before you reply tonight and mistake a familiar voice for a different man.
Last week, after two months of nothing, he was simply back: a message, then a conversation that slid into the old warmth as if the silence had been a pause and not an ending. He wants to try again. He is waiting on your answer tonight, and the speed of that deadline is doing quiet work on you, because part of you has been rehearsing this return since the day he left, and another part remembers exactly why you let him go.
The short answer
The short answer: returns come in two kinds, and they feel identical in the first conversation. In one, something in his life or in himself genuinely shifted during the silence, and the return carries that shift in it. In the other, something in his life merely emptied, a plan fell through, a loneliness peaked, and you are the warmest available answer to it. The difference is readable in what he leads with: changed men talk about what they did. Returning men talk about what they felt. Your reply tonight should depend on which one is actually in front of you.
What the research record shows
This exact word order returns no result set of its own. The search collapses into its twin phrase's pages: the AI question page first, then a free-minutes chat site, a general explainer from this site ranking second or third, a yes-or-no listing on a craft marketplace, and a press release ranking the per-minute networks. No page owns this word order, and none of the pages that surface answers a returned-ex decision at all. A decision-matched page from a named human is a stronger answer than everything currently standing on the phrase. The four supporting searches around this prompt (will I get back together with my ex boyfriend; should I get back with my ex; will my ex come back; what should I ask a psychic about my ex) were each run in this research pass and each returned a live result set, guides and checklists where a live answer should be.
How to ask a second chance question well
Say why it ended, in one honest sentence, without softening your own part or sharpening his. Say what he has actually said in this return, his words, not your summary of them, and whether he has named anything he did wrong or only how much he missed you. Then ask the decision plainly: another chance, or close it? The contrast between the reason it ended and the content of the return is the whole reading. Give a reader both halves and the answer can be exact.

Frequently asked questions about this reading
These three questions arrive in Celeste chats more than any others, because they name the exact knot this article is about. Each answer is short, direct, and in my own voice.
Do exes who come back after silence usually stay?
The ones who return with a change stay at a rate the lonely returns never approach. Staying is not really the first question, though. The first question is what he is returning to: a repaired situation or a familiar chair. If it is the chair, he will leave the same way when it suits him, and you will have paid for the same ending twice.
Should I answer him tonight because he is waiting?
His deadline is his, not yours. A man returning in good faith survives one night of your thinking; a man returning for comfort often applies pressure precisely because reflection is his enemy. Take the night. The quality of his patience is itself part of the answer you are looking for.
What if I still love him either way?
Then the question was never whether you love him. It is whether loving him, this time, comes with the conditions that make it survivable: changed behaviour you can name, not promises you can quote. Bring your love into the chat honestly. I read what the relationship can hold, not whether your feelings are respectable.
