I bet you probably already knew how hard it is to go through a breakup. That’s pretty much a rule of the world that most people know. Something you may NOT know is that you can put an end to all that breakup pain by following a few easy steps for getting back your ex. Interested? Read on!
There may really be a lot involved in getting back your ex, but I’ve come up with a way to break it down into a few “chunks” that make it a bit easier to swallow. Some chunks are kinda big, but if you really stick to it, you can get your life back on track easier than you think.
Step 1: Your first impulse directly after the breakup is usually to plague your ex with what I call the “take me back -attack.” This is a BAD IDEA. Your ex will NOT want to talk to you right now, it’s still too painful. Give the poor person some space, and frankly you could use it too.
Step 2: While the two of you are “on-break” and not talking, take advantage of the time you have to yourself to really work on yourself. Figure out any flaws you had or mistakes you made that really contributed to the breakup. Whether the list is long or short, there WILL be one…if there wasn’t, there wouldn’t be a breakup. Once you’ve identified the problems, get to work fixing them! It’s a difficult process, but it’s extremely important that you never make the same mistakes again.
Step 3: By the time you’ve made a lot of progress on your mistakes, it’ll probably be an okay time to re-establish contact with your ex. Keep in mind that this is still a fragile time, so keep it very light and simple. Just a phone call or an email saying “hey, how have you been?” is sufficient. It opens up an avenue of contact, and expresses that you DO care about how they’ve been handling the breakup.
Step 4: If the first contacts work out, you’ll probably slowly start spending more time with each other. During these occasions, don’t be aggressive…just do things with your ex that you both used to really enjoy. This is great for rekindling old memories and feelings. Second, use this time to let the work you’ve been doing on yourself speak for itself.
Step 5: Chances are your ex just won’t be ready for another try, but if it turns out that you two DO get back together, your chief job becomes not to screw it up again. A broken relationship, even one that’s been mended, is still fragile. You have to work really hard to not make the same mistakes again, and make sure your partner’s being taken care of.
In any relationship, there’s a lot of give-and-take. That’s just how it works whenever there are two people involved. Sacrifice and compromise are a part of the natural order of relationships. Remember to make sure your partner is getting what’s needed from your relationship, because if another breakup happens…it’s probably going to be permanent this time.
Just break up? Get instant relief from break up pain and a proven plan to get your ex back.
