Getting your ex Boyfriend Back

Going through a breakup is hard, that’s pretty much universally-known. What’s NOT as well-known is that it really doesn’t have to be, considering you can put an end to all the breakup pain by following a few simple steps to get your ex back. Sound good? Keep reading!

As complicated as the process for getting your ex back really is, it can be simplified and divided up into five steps that make it a lot easier to handle. Consider these to be chunks of a much bigger object called “getting your life back on track.” I’ll try to keep it as simple as I can while still giving you all you need to know about each step.

Step 1: Don’t go rushing to try to get your ex to take you back. This is exactly the wrong thing to do, considering your ex most likely doesn’t exactly want to talk to you right now. Give him/her some space and time to gather his/her wits. Breakups are just as stressful for your ex as they are for you.

Step 2: During the time off from your ex, be constructive. Really analyze how your relationship went awry. What things were YOU responsible for? How could you fix those things so that they couldn’t affect your relationships anymore EVER? These are the things you need to think about, and what’s more…you have to actually take action and change so that you never make those mistakes again! I know that’s a really heavy thing to simply call “Step 2,” but that’s how it is.

Step 3: Once enough time has passed, and you’re well on your way to “flawlessness,” you can go ahead and make contact again with your ex. Remember to keep it very light and simple, just a phone call or email message to see how he/she’s been doing. You don’t want to charge right in with the “please come back” attack, for the same reasons as in Step 1. Just take it slow.

Step 4: After building up contact very slowly and nonaggressively, the two of you are probably going to start spending time with each other again. Use this time to do things together that both of you always really enjoyed. It helps to bring back fond memories and rekindle old feelings. Also let your ex see the effects of the changes you’ve been making, impressing him/her could work to your advantage as well.

Step 5: If all the things you’ve done have worked out, and you manage to impress your ex and achieve a second chance at making the relationship work, now comes a very essential part of it all. If you get your ex back, you have to KEEP him/her. You have to stick to the changes you’ve made in yourself. If you just let it all hang out again, you’ll lose him/her again…and this time you may not be able to get your ex back.

So always remember that sacrifice and compromise is a massive part of any well-running relationship. Both people have needs that must be met, and YOU are concerned with your PARTNER’s. Neglecting what your partner needs is the fastest and most efficient way to make that partner into an ex…possibly, for good.

The vast majority of the time when your girlfriend leaves you, it’s generally because of something really stupid you either said or did. That should probably come as no surprise to you. What may be surprising to learn is that dealing with these insane creatures called women doesn’t have to be so dang hard, not if you know what you’ve been doing wrong and can fix it!

And that’s where I come in. Due to my own personal experiences, I’ve become rather well-versed in the many things that we idiots can do to really tick off our lovely ladies and make them want to strangle us but settle for leaving us. I am here to help you avoid the gravest mistakes or fix the ones you’ve made, by providing this “for-men-by-men” guide to not making your woman leave you…or murder you.

1) Top thing that makes girls really itch for your throat is when you just don’t pay attention to her. Guys, you should know better. Women want to feel like their opinions and viewpoints matter to you. If they don’t get the feeling that they’re being heard when they talk for hours on end, they might stop talking to you altogether…and that’s NOT a good thing. A woman requires constant attention.

That can be a little tricky sometimes though…too much attention and she’ll think you’re an obsessed freak who collects strands of her hair and rolls them into little balls and puts them in a locked chest. Obviously this is an impression you want to avoid, so finding that balance is essential. Best advice is to just listen to her. Like, actually listen. She’ll TELL you what she wants. Usually.

2) Women have a term they use that as far as I can tell doesn’t really mean much. The term is “emotionally supportive,” and as best as I can cipher it basically refers to a man who can read women’s minds and know exactly what they want you to do or say at all the right times to make her feel loved. Basically they need a guy who listens well enough to know her as well as she knows herself.

There are a privileged few in the world of men who come by this talent naturally. I hate those scumbags, as I’m not one of them. If you’re like me, it requires a lot of attention and devotion to really pick up on all the little clues they give you as to exactly what they want. Really, if you can perfect item number 1, you can probably do okay with this one.

3) Oh my God, do NOT let a woman catch you cheating on her. And by that I don’t mean do it carefully, I mean don’t do it. Women may take slightly less offense to other women cheating on their men, but a man who cheats is sin itself and must be brutally destroyed by any means necessary. Most of us guys know it’s “bad” to cheat on a woman, but the majority of us may not know exactly what “cheating” is as a woman sees it.

Forget that other women exist. From now on, all women other than your girlfriend should be seen like you see your mother. She’s not a woman, right? She’s your mother. You do not TALK to other women. You do not LOOK at other women. You do not THINK ABOUT other women. You do not FANTASIZE about other women. All of these things are considered cheating and will get you slaughtered by a mob of angry girls.

4) For crying out loud, there is more trouble in the home than there has any right to be. When living with your girlfriend, simply accept the fact that you are GOING to help out around the house. You are fully capable of taking out the trash whether you want to or not, and if you know what’s good for you, you’ll just do what your girl says and hope she doesn’t make you sleep on the couch.

So that’s the main list of stupid things we guys do. You may be wondering about why this could really help you if you’re already broken up, and that’s a fair question. Fact is, not everyone who is broken up, STAYS broken up, and if you manage to get a second chance with her you do NOT want to make the same mistakes again. Also, addressing these potential problems can help you out a lot with any other women you end up dating in your life.

It should come as no surprise to you that breakups aren’t much fun. In fact, it’s pretty common knowledge that they’re a pain. A lot less known is that you can put an end to all the breakup pain if you follow the steps I have laid out for you to get your ex back.

Getting your ex back may not be the easiest or most simple thing in the world, but it’s a lot easier if you look at it in terms of “chunks” or steps. The division isn’t perfect, as some chunks are bigger than others, but if you take it one step at a time, you have a good chance of getting your ex back.

Step 1: I know that after a breakup it’s almost standard impulse to want to chase down your ex and plead with him/her to give things another chance. That’s really about the LAST thing you want to do straight away. Your ex doesn’t want to talk right now, give him/her some space. You’ll get the chance to talk later.

Step 2: Take advantage of the downtime to work on the things you did or didn’t do that contributed to the breakup. Every couple has flaws equally divided, but the person who gets broken up with usually has more. These things have to be addressed and dealt with, or else you can’t expect anything better from new relationships than the fate of the old one. Make the necessary changes. Yeah, this is the main chunk that’s bigger than the others, but it’s important.

Step 3: Once you’ve had sufficient time to recover from the breakup and really get yourself back into order, you can go ahead and contact your ex. Do so lightly at first, and keep away from aggressive relationship talk. Just give him/her a phone call or email asking how they’ve been doing. It’s light, it makes contact, and it serves as a good starting point for slightly escalating contacts.

Step 4: The odds aren’t bad that if you played your first contacts well, the two of you will start spending some time together again. At this point, it’s a good idea to do things with your ex that you both used to really enjoy doing as a couple. This brings up happy memories and could help to turn back on your ex’s feelings for you. Also take this time to let the work you’ve been doing on yourself to speak for itself.

Step 5: It’s not sure-fire that your ex will want to get back together, but the chances are pretty good…and if you two DO give it another try, it’s critical that you not screw up now. So you got your ex back…now KEEP him/her! Don’t make the same mistakes again, and try to avoid any new ones too! This could be your last chance!

You’ll have a lot of sacrifice and compromise in any relationship, it’s just what’s necessary for two people to share something so close. It’s important to keep from messing up and doing the same mistakes you already made that cost you your first relationship, because next time there may not be any chance to make things right.

Most of the time when your girlfriend dumps you…it’s not her, it’s you. Guys, we’re some of the dumbest oafs around when it comes to relationships, and we’re always doing SOMETHING wrong. Girls may not be the easiest creatures to understand, and relationships with them can be a bit difficult to manage…but really if you can figure out your problems you can solve them.

That’s why I’m writing this for you, as a friendly man-to-man resource for a few of the things we frequently do that tick our ladies off and make them want to leave. Sure there are women nice enough to painstakingly list off our every faults for us, but not every guy is so lucky as to have one. Not to worry, bro…I will help you through this madness.

1) First main thing that girls really despise when men do is when they don’t pay attention to them. This really drives a girl nutso, because it can feel like they require our every waking moment to be devoted to them and only them, or else we don’t love them. Of course this assumption is completely false, but girls seem to need us to pay constant attention to them.

NOT paying constant attention to them makes them think we don’t love them, but when we DO pay constant attention to them they start acting like we’re freaks. There IS a happy medium somewhere in there, but the exact level varies for each girl. Best solution here is to simply listen to her and figure out what she specifically needs, attention-wise.

2) There’s this concept that women have, called “emotional support.” They need their guys to be “emotionally supportive” of them. Best as I can figure it, it’s kinda related to item number 1 on this list, but a little more expansive. Girls need to feel like their guys really understand them, and can get to know them almost as well as they know themselves.

Guys who can do this naturally are referred to as having “game.” This simply means that a guy is naturally good at reading women and understanding the things to say and do to make their hearts melt. Your supreme goal here is to make the girl feel like she and her feelings are both very important to you…and the best way to do this is to really listen to her and read her body language.

3) Women really kinda hate it when guys cheat on them, even if some of these same girls would gladly cheat on their guys. Of course we all realize this is a no-no, and wouldn’t be too happy if our girls cheated on us…but sometimes we either have a momentary lapse of stupidity, or we don’t realize what exactly constitutes “cheating” in the female mind.

You don’t have to have sex with another woman to be “cheating.” A lot of the time all it takes is a single look of appreciation at another woman’s finer physical “assets” for your girlfriend to take offense. Even fantasies about pornstars or celebrities can be a no-no, it just depends on the girlfriend. Best and safest bet is to forget that other girls exist, and think like they’re just other guys who look different.

4) When you’re living with a woman, helping around the house can become a sore point…she expects you to do it, and you don’t want to. I understand not wanting to get up and clean stuff or take out the trash, but you have to really consider whether or not it’s worth ticking your girlfriend off. Take my advice…just get up off your lazy butt and do a few chores.

So how does this help you if you’ve already broken up with her? Well, once you can identify the things you’ve done wrong in the past, you can start working to avoid doing them in the future. Whether it’s with your now-ex-girlfriend or with a new woman, you’ll be much less likely to make her leave again if you can keep from making these idiot classic “guy” blunders.

It’s a general rule that when your girlfriend decides to leave you, you’ve done something wrong. Chances are, you’ve done a lot of somethings wrong. Fellas, we’re pretty accurately labeled as the dumber of the two genders, and when dealing with creatures as confusing as women, it’s not surprising that we make blunders that make them leave. HOWEVER, we CAN deal with them if we know how.

So that’s why I’m here, to list off the main stupid things we often do to anger our lovely, gentle little flowers and make them grow thorns. What’s more, I’m going to tell you how to get through the stupid things we do, at least the ones I’m covering in this article. Here’s a resource written for a man, by a man, to deal with women in relationships.

1) Number one thing that women hate about guys is that they just don’t pay attention to their ladies. Sure she talks a lot, but it’s USUALLY a good idea to listen to her. Even if she’s talking about things that make absolutely no sense to you, you need to pay attention to her and act like you understand. If she doesn’t get constant attention when she’s speaking, somehow you don’t love her.

Of course, this can be a bit contrary sometimes. You don’t want to pay TOO MUCH attention to her, because that’s considered “weird” or “scary.” Achieving a balance is very difficult, as you have to pay enough attention to satisfy her without hanging on her every word and freaking her out. Since every girl’s different, best idea is to simply listen to figure out exactly what she needs.

2) There’s this term women use…it’s called when a guy is being “emotionally supportive” of his woman. This term means absolutely nothing as far as I can figure…basically it’s just a way of measuring how well a guy knows his girl. It’s kinda related to List Item #1, but a bit expanded. Women are looking for when a guy pays enough attention to a girl so that he knows her almost as well as she knows herself.

There are a few lucky guys out there who come by this naturally, and those are the guys who have “game.” Women naturally love these fellas, because the boys naturally understand the women and what makes them happy. What to say, what to do…it varies from woman to woman, and only astute observation and attention paid to detail can make up for a lack of natural talent here.

3) Of course, there’s the hot-button issue of “cheating” on one another. When girls do it to their boyfriend, it’s not nearly as bad as when a guy does it to his girl…at least by their standards. Heck, most of us know how bad it is, but as I’m sure I’ve said before…we’re idiots. It gets even worse when you realize exactly what constitutes “cheating” in the female mind.

You see, having sex with another woman is only the most extreme case of cheating. Talking to other women, looking at other women, even fantasies including other women can all be considered cheating as far as girls are concerned. Sure, girls can flirt all they want with whoever they want, but to us guys it’s best that we forget that girls other than our ladies even exist…they’re all just funny-looking guys with long hair.

4) And of course, there’s always going to be trouble at home. What I mean is, if you live with your girlfriend…there’ll be issues about how you divide up housework and household responsibilities. Rarely does this in itself end a relationship, but refusing to take out the trash can be a breaking point. Do yourself a favor…do what she tells you. It’s just easier that way.

So why am I telling you all this? What good does it do you if you’ve already broken up with her? Well, this has been a list of things you could do WRONG, right? Well, how about you stop doing these things? It’ll make your future relationships better, and if you manage to get your ex girlfriend back, you’ll have a lot better chance of making it work this time.

Compromise and sacrifice are a critical part in the give-and-take aspect of any healthy relationship, and if you really want to get your ex boyfriend back you’re going to need to keep that in mind. Nothing makes mending a broken relationship easy, but the advice I have for you can make it a lot less difficult to make him want to come back to you.

When a relationship fails, usually that’s a good indication of something being wrong. If he left you, that something was likely one of two things: either the relationship was getting stale with not enough of you in it or it was getting claustrophobic with too much of you in it. Either situation here is relationship suicide.

Whatever the issue that chiefly contributed to the breakup, it was probably something you did or didn’t do. That’s a little harsh I know, but that’s just how things usually work: the brokenupwith does something to drive the breakerupper away. So how do you manage to get him to come back? Well, you stop doing whatever it was that made him run.

Really take a look at your situation, and determine what things that eventually led to the breakup were your fault and which weren’t. Discard the ones that weren’t your fault (since you can’t really do anything about them) and focus on the things you CAN change, the things that you’re responsible for. If your biggest problem was either of the things I talked about above, I may be able to offer some help.

If your main problem was a stale lack of activity in your relationship, you just have to pick it up a little. Get out, do stuff with him! Since right now you two probably aren’t speaking, make this a new mindset of yours rather than putting it into effect right this instant. Just think of things for the two of you to do together that are fun for both of you…no relationship should die because nobody was taking care of it.

On the other hand, if you were way too much into his life, you need to pull back a little. No matter how much evidence may seem to support the contrary opinion, you have to remember that your boyfriend is an intelligent person with a mind of his own. You may not be so drastic as to constantly remind him to tie his shoes or comb his hair, but nagging is still nagging. Guys need a bit of space to be really comfortable, and when you take away all his space and stop letting him think for himself…well, he runs like hell in the other direction.

So if he’s run, take the time right after the separation to give each other some space…and for you to do this analysis I’ve been telling you to do. Once you’ve dealt with your problems and are “on the road to recovery,” you can make contact with him again –but keep it light and simple! This is a fragile time, anything that makes him uncomfortable can drive the nails in the coffin lid of your relationship. Don’t be too forward, just say something along the lines of “hey, just wondering how you’re doing.” Slow and steady wins the race.

And once you’ve been in contact a little bit, chances are good that you guys will start seeing each other face-to-face again. When this happens, it’s all about doing things that the two of you enjoy…if possible at all, doing things the two of you used to really like doing together when you were a couple. It’ll bring back fond memories, and possibly stir up some old feelings.

Always try to let the changes you’ve made to yourself speak for themselves without announcing them. If he simply notices that all of a sudden you’re genuinely more enthusiastically into the relationship, or all of a sudden you’re backing off a bit and letting him think for himself…it’ll probably impress him quite a bit, and open a few doors.

There’s no guarantee that anything in particular will work 100% of the time, but the advice I’ve given you here is pretty universally tested, and it drastically raises your chances of managing to pull off a reunion with your ex. From here on, it’s in your hands.

If you’ve just been broken up with, and you’re thinking you’re not exactly content with the current situation and would like to get your ex back…say no more. Reuniting with the one you love isn’t impossible, although I will admit it can be a little difficult and SEEM impossible sometimes. However, if you follow my advice and do what I say, you have a good chance at getting him/her back.

The main reason most relationships end is because they’re only half-relationships…only one person is putting his or her all into the relationship, and not getting what he or she feels should be coming back from the relationship. The people who are giving all they’ve got to the relationships are usually the ones doing the breaking-up, and the folks who aren’t giving enough effort are the ones being broken up with…so which are you?

If your ex broke up with you, chances are good that you were the person who wasn’t cutting it. I know that sounds harsh, but them’s the way it is. Now don’t start beating yourself up over it, learn from your mistakes –and don’t make them again!

Sit down, grab a pencil and some paper and start listing off things you didn’t do or could have done to make your relationship work better. On another sheet of paper list things you shouldn’t have done or could have done better. When you’re done, look hard at them. Really figure on what your biggest pitfalls were, whether it was something you should have done or something you shouldn’t have done…either way you need to improve vastly.

It may hurt to stare your flaws in the face, but it’s the first step of getting back on track with your life and maybe even getting your ex back. Once you’ve identified your biggest problems, you can fix them. Once you’ve identified your biggest mistakes, you can stop making them. Through compromise, sacrifice, and a lot of self-work, you can turn yourself around and become your full half of a healthy relationship, and be happier than ever before. What’s more, your partner will be happier.

To get your ex back, you have to do more than send expensive gifts and leave messages on their answering machine begging them to come back…you have to genuinely make an effort to be a new you, without the flaws you once had while retaining the great things about yourself that drew your ex to you in the first place.

And even once you’ve demolished your problems and made yourself a gorgeous catch for any guy or lady, you can’t go strutting in front of your ex like you’re God’s gift to the opposite sex. Don’t show off your new you, that’ll just be obnoxious even if you are a better person…you’d be trading one flaw for another. Instead, make your contacts light and simple, and let the work you’ve done on yourself speak for itself.

When you get to the point where you’re spending some time with your ex again, you should do things together that you always enjoyed doing as a couple. Having fun like you’ve had it before spurs on memories and brings back a lot of the fondness for one another. Your ex could decide he or she wants to get back together with you without you ever expressing a desire to get back together yourself! It’s all in how you play your cards.

When you’re going through a breakup, things can be pretty darn difficult. Life has a way of just not seeming worth the effort anymore, like there’s really not a whole lot of point in trying to get back on track. Well, that’s the wrong way to think!

Your life doesn’t have to end when your boyfriend or girlfriend decides to leave you! You can get your ex back, you just need to do three things. First, you have to think about what went wrong, then you need to fix what was wrong, and finally you need to let your ex see that you’ve fixed it! That may seem a little oversimplified, so let me elaborate.

Thinking about what went wrong is NOT just sitting around mourning over your dead relationship and interrogating yourself as to what’s the matter with you. Yes, you need to find out what you did wrong, but hopeless whining over a bucket of ice cream isn’t your target means of attack. Remember that relationships usually end because one person either wasn’t getting what he or she needed out of the relationship, or something his or her partner was doing was driving him/her away.

Even a close relationship can be shattered by either one of these. Relationships are two-way streets, and if the specific things that a person needs from their partner aren’t being given, it can cause love to fade and the relationship just doesn’t feel like it should. And of course, who is really going to stick around in a relationship that’s driving you away?

You need to really look at your relationship that just ended, and see what you were doing to make your ex want to leave -or have no choice but to leave. Once you can identify the problem, you can take the necessary steps to solve it.

When you first set out towards actually fixing the problem, it’s important to remember that you can only really do anything about the problems that are your fault. It doesn’t matter what you think your ex may have done wrong, it’s your job to focus on yourself. Whatever you contributed to the breakup, you have to aim all of your self-improving attention at it. There are going to be sacrifices, that’s just part of the process.

Now, nobody said that this will be easy, but let me tell you straight up that it’s completely worth it. If you can do this, not only will you have a much higher chance of making it work with your ex but you’ll also just feel better about yourself in general.

So once you’ve really analyzed, detected, and solved your personal issues, the next step is to get back into contact with your ex. Go slow and be gentle, this is a fragile process that needs to be completed with extreme care. First call or email shouldn’t be about your relationship, just about seeing how your ex is doing. Keep it short, keep it simple.

Eventually you’ll have built up to some real contact again, and the two of you will probably be spending some time together. When you do this, make sure that you spend time doing things you both enjoy, and let the changes you’ve made speak for themselves. Trust me, if you did a good enough job your ex will notice…and from there, it’s all up to chance and how you play your cards as to whether or not you can manage to pull things back together between you.

There’s no such thing as an easy, foolproof fix for a broken relationship, but this formula is about the closest you’ll come by. Remember too that even if your ex just simply isn’t into giving it another shot, that’s not the end of the world. The changes you’ve made to yourself will serve to both boost your confidence and make you a more attractive possibility for a lot of other people…and in a world of six billion people, you’re bound to find somebody who makes you incredibly happy. Good luck.

Enduring a breakup can be one of the most difficult times in your life. When the person you love more than anything else just up and decides to leave you on your own, it really hurts. A lot of people just give up, but that’s the last thing you should do. Now is the perfect time to turn your life around!

There IS more to life than just your ex…and if you pull yourself together and realize that, you just may have a good shot of getting him or her back! The process isn’t easy, but it can be summed up into three fairly simple stages: finding what was wrong, fixing what was wrong, and showing your ex that you’ve fixed it. Sound too easy? Well, there’s a little more to it, but not much.

When I say “thinking about what went wrong,” I don’t mean sitting on your couch with a gallon of Ben & Jerry’s sobbing about how much of a screwup you are for letting your ex slip away. It’s overdramatic, and doesn’t solve anything. What you need to do is figure out what actually caused the breakup. Two of the most common culprits is when you weren’t meeting your ex’s relationship needs or if you had some particular behavior that was driving your ex away.

Both of these can be lethal to even a very close relationship, but sadly they do happen, and it makes sense that they can be showstoppers. I mean, who would stay with a person who was actively driving him or her away? Who would let themselves be stuck in a relationship that just wasn’t fulfilling their needs? It’s harsh, but true.

At this point, you have to look over your relationship and see what you were doing wrong. Really analyze yourself and your behavior, and find the problem. Once you’ve figured out what you were doing to make your ex want to leave, you can get to work fixing it.

Remember this, too: no matter how flawed you think your ex may have been, you can’t worry about the problems he or she caused. The only things you can change are the things that you personally are responsible for. Don’t waste your time and energy thinking about how much your ex needs to change, just work on yourself.

It’s not an easy road, but a necessary one if you want to get your life on track again. You may have some difficulties with it, but through a few sacrifices and compromises, you’ll get there…and once you do, you’ll find that your life is a lot better.

Once you’ve done all you can to get yourself in top relationship shape, the time comes to talk to your ex for the first time. Always remember that the first contact is very light and simple. You should be calling or emailing to see how he/she is doing, not to talk about feelings or the failed relationship. It’s a sign of consideration, that you care about how he/she’s doing. Don’t overdo it, or you’ll scare your ex off.

If you play your cards right, you’ll be able to slowly build up contact again, up until the point when the two of you are spending a little time together. During this time, you need to continue to keep it light, and just let the work you’ve done on yourself speak for itself. If you’ve done your job well, you have a great chance that your ex will notice and start to take a little more interest again.

If you’re looking for an easy, sure-fire method of getting your ex back that erases the past and doesn’t require any effort on your part, I’m here to tell you that it doesn’t exist. You’ll have to work pretty hard, and you’ll have to do it for yourself. Who you were can’t be who you continue to be, not if you want your second chance to work out any better than the first…and it’s true that this may not even end in getting back together with your ex. However, if you really put yourself into this, you’ll find that your life drastically changes, and you like the new person you are…and what’s more, others will like it too. There is life after ex, and a lot of people to live it with.
