It's a personal choice whether someone wishes to trust the information given by a psychic or not. And if you have reached the point where you now question whether psychics have talent, then, by all means disregard the information they offer - that means disregarding all the positive aspects of the readings and negative aspects of the readings and simply rely on what you can determine in reality. If your man is with someone else, reality suggests that there is a 1 in 2 chance he will stay with that person. That also means there is a 1 in 2 chance he'll leave her. Reality also suggests that if you still like your ex and can forgive his transgressions, there is a 1 in 2 chance you will be together again, just as there is a 1 in 2 chance you won't. And finally there is a 1 in 2 chance that you will move beyond this place and onto something new, just as there is a 1 in 2 chance you won't. The numbers don't lie.

I am sorry for what you have gone through, KTH. Many of us know the feeling all too well. I do believe many of these readers have a gift... they can see the past and present. I have had predictions happen, so there is something to that, but this is potentially do to the probability of an event occuring or because some things don't have as many variables as others. I do think anything dealing with human emotions is difficult to read.
Bark, your math is incorrect. The odds for reconciliation are much worse than simply having a 1 and 2 chance. The way you word it makes sense, but that's not how it works because there are other factors. He can actually meet someone else, she can meet someone else, etc. The odds are not 50%. They are lower.
For what it's worth, I also read with Hilary80 and I think she is REALLY good. Like outrageously good. BUT nothing she predicted happened. I will say though, she saw things there's no way she could've known. Stuff other readers have never seen... incredible details.
I think getting readings is an addiction. Lord knows I would've stopped long time ago considering NONE of my big outcome predictions have happened the way readers said they would. The thing is, I like getting readings. It's kind of sick. Anne even gave me a pretty firm talking to last time I called her. Anyways, that's besides the point. I agree with everyone who says to take a person's action at face value. I will also make a recommendation I have made many times before. Please, set a timeframe. Do not wait for someone for YEARS. Tell yourself that if you don't hear from him by ## days or months, then you are letting go and not making another call about them. It's not worth it. I could have a driveway full of cars had I stopped calling years ago.
I want to point out (and some of you may remember this) I started calling psychics years ago about a man I used to refer to as "J". Many readers said we would reconcile, get married... the whole nine yards. You know what happened? He ended up marrying another woman we worked with!!! He secretly dated her for 2 months and married her!!! I do still have a certain liking and favoring for Kisha and LadyP because they were two of the VERY FEW who told me he would never come back. Cookie and Barbara (I mention them specifically because they are popular) told me I would marry that man. After he married our coworker, I called them and they told me it would shortly end in divorce. He doesn't love her. It was an impulsive mistake. I could still be waiting for him to this day if I hadn't had accepted reality. Guess what? They're still married. Happily. I've run into them at happy hours. I see them eating lunch together. They are still married.
I didn't marry C either. He straight up told me he can't be with a woman with two young children. There was not one reader who told me he had those concerns. Not one.
This last situation I was in... I was told by many that this man would take a certain dramatic action to change his current situation. Nope. He didn't. He told me he WON'T.
Lesson: Readers are wrong. They get stuff. But the future hasn't happened. What makes us think they will know? They can't and they don't.

Syn,
My math is NOT incorrect. There is an equal (=) chance that a relationship with an other person will fail, just as there is an equal chance (=) that it will be successful. There is an equal chance (=) that he will come back, just as there is an equal (=) chance he will not.

The numbers are not accurate, and numbers do not form an accurate equation when applied to relationships.
Do not trust anything these psychics tell you, they may get details but the happy outcomes NEVER happen. The stories here on the forum should be proof enough.
I am just sharing my horror story, maybe someone here will get the outcome they desire. With that said, there are approximately 1200 members here, maybe one or two have report an outcome that was favorable. If numbers are how you are gauging the probability of a favorable outcome then perhaps consider those odds.
I know my post will not resonate with some here, but my post is very familiar if you read the forum. Every member will move at their own pace and choose how long they stay in this nightmare, but this is my second go around and again I am here posting the disappointment, foolishness, defeat, and sadness surrounding these readings.

This is absolutely not true. That is not how probability works.
A coin has two sides. When you toss it in the air, it can come up heads or tails. Initially one would say there is a 1 to 2 chance that heads or tails will appear. However, if you toss the coin 50 times that does not mean that heads will come up 25 times and tails would come up 25 times. There are other factors involved. Probability is a guide... not a standard and not an absolute. There is a 50% chance he will come back. There is a 50% chance he will not. When you factor in TIME PASSED, new relationships, etc, it becomes like tossing the coin in there air more than once. The percentage is NOT 50%.
