Once. My now husband broke up with me 2 years into our relationship during a mental breakdown. He was clearly not himself at the time and was going through a lot of stress. He said he wasn't worthy of me or love, and I couldn't convince him otherwise. After getting help and medication, he asked for forgiveness and I took him back about 3 months after our breakup. We married a few years later.
It took me a while to sort out my heartbreak when he left me, and my fears that it could happen again if he ever were to stop taking his medicine, but I care about him deeply and decided I was willing to take that risk. He's been nothing but supportive and loving ever since, and we've grown a lot together.
I think in order for a relationship to work after it's been broken off before, you need to be able to forgive and move on from the past. You can't be resentful and you need trust.
