Getting your ex Boyfriend Back

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.

If you’re serious about getting back together with your ex boyfriend, let me tell you that it’s not going to be easy by any means. Any healthy relationship is give-and-take, with a healthy helping of compromise and sacrifice…but if you take my advice, your fight to get him back can be a little less difficult.

It’s a pretty reasonable assumption that if your ex was the one who did the leaving, it’s because of one of two things. Either he was getting tired of the relationship growing stale from lack of activity between you two, or he was running for his life from a woman who couldn’t let go and let him live his own life. Either of these two possibilities is plenty enough reason for a man to want to leave.

Getting him back after he’s run away like that isn’t a picnic in a sunny park, but if you stop doing the things that made him want to leave you, you have a pretty decent shot of fixing your mistakes. Take a look at yourself and the relationship, and figure out what things that led to the breakup were your fault…and yes, a lot of it will be your fault. Not playing blame games, just saying that generally the person doing the leaving is having an issue with the person being left.

So take a good look at your relationship problems. There are a lot of different things that could lead to a relationship’s demise, but if the biggest one was one that I mentioned, I can help you out a bit.

If your biggest problem was a lack of activity in the relationship that led to it getting stale, it’s really pretty sad. There’s no excuse for letting a relationship just peter out and expire. If you two love each other, you should do things with each other…spend time with one another, and live your lives together. Being bored with your partner is a tragedy that shouldn’t ever get the chance to occur.

If you were being a bit controlling and refusing to back out of his personal matters and let him live his own life, you need to realize that boxing the guy in isn’t going to prevent his escape. Oh sure, we laugh when we see a guy being hounded by his girlfriend on TV, but in real life it’s a different matter. Having somebody constantly looking over your shoulder and nagging you is horrible, and even if you feel you’re entitled to butt in everywhere, you need to relax a little and have some confidence that he can run his own life.

After the breakup, give your boyfriend some space and time to pull himself together. A breakup is hard on both people, and pressing him now is a bad idea that could only seal the deal. Instead, do this self-evaluation and work I’ve been talking about, and when the time is right you can contact him again. However, when you DO contact him, make sure you’re keeping it light and simple. Too much too fast won’t help you.

If you play your cards right in the initial contact, you guys will probably start seeing each other again face to face. When you get to this point, it’s a smart idea to spend your time together doing things you both always enjoyed as a couple. Doing this stirs up happy memories and paints a better picture of you in his eyes. It could even rekindle some feelings.

And while you guys are spending time together, be sure to allow the work you’ve been doing on yourself to shine out and be noticed. Don’t wave a yellow neon flag that says “hey look what I did,” but if you let it speak for itself, the work you’ve done will probably impress him to no end.

Where you go from here is up to you. I can’t say that any given method will have a 100% success rate, but the advice I’ve given you here is pretty much priceless. If you’re careful in your execution and sincere in your dedication to fixing the problems, you have a very good shot of getting your ex boyfriend back.

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.

Getting back together with your ex boyfriend isn’t necessarily going to be easy, but I can show you how a fair amount of self-work and dedication to the cause can make it be a lot easier than it could be. If you’re going to make him want to come back to you, you’ll have to make some compromises and sacrifices, but that’s just the give-and-take of a healthy relationship.

The odds are highly stacked that if your ex was the one who ended the relationship, it was one of two things that caused it…either things had become stale and dull, or they’d gotten claustrophobic. Either you weren’t in his life enough or you were in it too much. Dull relationships with not much ever going on or relationships with an overbearing woman who simply MUST be a part of every facet of his life…both are going to make him run.

So how do you manage to get him back after he’s run away? Well, you stop doing the things that make him want to run. Take a look at your relationship with him, and figure out what sort of conditions led to him taking off. Be prepared to accept that if he left, the bulk of the problem is probably in things you’re responsible for…I’m not trying to insult you, that’s just the recipe of a breakup: the person leaving is having problems with the person being left.

Analyze yourself and come up with the things that you did to contribute to the end of the relationship. Once you’ve figured out what you’re responsible for, you can do something to fix it. If yours is like one of the cases I’ve mentioned, I can help you a bit.

If things were going slow between you and just drifting, make up your mind to do more with your partner! Go out more, spend time together, do things that are fun for both of you! A relationship shouldn’t be boring, it should be the most wonderful time of your life! Don’t let it get stale with inactivity, it’s just such a waste of what could be such a good thing.

If you were having some issues letting him run his own life, try backing off a little and remembering that he IS an intelligent person who can think for himself without having you on his back all the time. We laugh at it in the movies, but a controlling woman is a nightmare in real life. Try not to be the number he doesn’t want to see on his Caller ID, or the person he doesn’t want standing in the doorway when he comes home. Give the guy some room!

So take the initial period after the breakup to give your ex boyfriend some space without you, and utilize the time apart to do this self-analysis and really address the issues you two faced. Don’t bother him about anything for a while, and when the time seems right to go ahead and establish contact again, go about it gently. Chances are he won’t want to talk to you very much, so keep it light and simple. A basic “hey, how have you been?” is about all you should be planning at this stage.

Once you’ve been talking for a while, and tension is relaxing, you guys will probably start seeing each other in person again. When this happens, it’s important to do things together that you two always used to enjoy as a couple. Mini golf, going to see movies, taking the dogs for a walk…whatever times the two of you used to share that were really fun and relaxing, do things with him that will remind him of them. He’ll start to see you like he did then, and he may even decide for himself that he wants to get back together and give it another try.

All through the time you’re together here, try to let the things you’ve done to work on yourself show for themselves without calling deliberate attention to them. If he can see how hard you’ve worked to make yourself a more compatible match with him, I can almost guarantee he’ll be impressed with your efforts.

From this point it’s really all in how you handle things. I can’t make a 100% promise that anything you do will work to make him want to get back together with you, but among your choices that give you the best chances, the things I’ve told you here should do fairly well towards paving the way to the healing of your relationship and the start of a new one.

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.

There’s enough drama when you go through a breakup…why should recovering from a breakup be equally dramatic? Getting your life back on track –and even getting back together with your ex– doesn’t have to be as massive of an ordeal as the separation itself was.

If you’re cool about all of this and don’t make drama for yourself by pining over a 50 gallon bucket of ice cream, you can really change things around for yourself and possibly for your ex as well. You just have to take it all one step at a time and do what you have to to make it work out.

First thing to do is take a few deep breaths. This isn’t going to be the easiest thing you’ve ever done, but it can be systematic and fairly simple. You just need to calm down and look at it in a mature manner. Ask yourself if it’s worth it. Are you willing to put in a lot of work and dedication in order to win your ex back? Or are you content to just sit and be miserable? It’s up to you.

If you decide you’re going to give it your all, then good for you. You’ve taken the first step. You’re on the road to recovery. Next thing to do is to sit down and take a look at yourself, at your relationship. What happened to make it take a wrong turn? What caused the breakup? What part of it was your fault?

And don’t deny that you have some fault in the matter. Actually, if your ex was the one who broke up with you, it was probably mostly your fault. I’m not pointing fingers, just saying…it’s fairly constant in most relationships that the person who’s not having his or her needs met is the one who does the leaving. There’s no use crying about it, just accept it and figure out what you did wrong.

Because, once you puzzle out your contribution to the breakup, you can FIX IT! Whatever your issue(s) was(were), you can fix it(them). If you were too bossy, always hounding your partner about something, you can ease up and stop being so controlling. If you had a hard time staying…loyal…you can slap yourself silly and stop roaming around, sampling the population. If you were too lazy and never wanted to do anything in the relationship, get up off your butt and get out into the world. If you weren’t paying enough attention to your partner, snap to attention and focus (don’t forget to LISTEN!).

Any problem you may have that isn’t genetically coded into your DNA can be fixed. Luckily, 99% of problems that cause relationships to end AREN’T genetically coded into your DNA, so you can’t use that as an excuse for your poor behavior. Remember that if you want any kind of positive results, you have to put in some effort on yourself.

So analyze yourself to find the things that need to be changed, change them, and keep those changes steady. Maintenance is key here, because if you renovate yourself all nice and purdy, get your ex back, and slide right back into being how you were…you’ll get dumped again. You have to actually change…and that means BEING the new you, not just being the same old you with new behavior. It’s hard, but not impossible…and if you’re serious about succeeding in relationships and even in life, you need to do it.

So cool, you’re the new and improved You 2.0. How do you actually end up getting the love of your life back? Well, it’s a gradual process…you have to be gentle with it, and not move too fast. It really mostly starts with a phone call or email asking how your ex is doing. From there, slowly build up contact again until you’re talking to each other enough and spending enough time together for your ex to notice the new you. Don’t go waving “lookie lookie I’m not lazy anymore and I care about your feelings!” in their faces…let them see that on their own. This is where BEING the new you comes in.

So just take it slow and easy, do things the both of you always enjoyed doing, and if you did a good enough job on yourself your ex will probably start to think that he or she made a mistake in leaving you. Things usually work themselves out this way, and if by some chance you don’t masterfully sweep your ex off his or her feet and get back together…the new you will be hotter, more confident, and a lot more attractive to the opposite sex now that you’re all groovied up with your behavior modifications. If you don’t succeed with your ex, you most certainly WILL succeed with others…and your ex wasn’t the only person in the world who could make you happy.

When a fight breaks out in a relationship, it’s important to remember that fights are a perfectly healthy and normal part of any situation involving two people. Most fights can be resolved and the problems dealt with, but sometimes they aren’t handled the right way, and they can lead to a breakup. This is really tragic, because it doesn’t have to be that way.

Before you can learn to fix your relationship, you should learn how to handle fights correctly. One of the big steps to getting back with your ex is to identify and solve any problems that may have led to the breakup. This is definitely important in relation to dealing with fights in addition to any other factors, because like I said…fights are going to happen. If you can’t handle them when they come up, you’re just going to break up again.

So how do you properly deal with a fight? Well, first thing is to remember that everyone has a side in the argument, and everyone has feelings that need to be addressed. Fights happen when a need isn’t being met, whether that need is emotional support or the lack of annoying habits of your partner. Listen to your partner’s viewpoints with an open mind, a willingness to accept that some of this may be your fault.

There is no need for a blame game, everyone is equally likely to be responsible for a problem, and if you want to be able to continue to be with your partner –or anyone for that matter– you need to be responsible enough to own up to the problems you’re responsible for. I know I’m using the word “responsibility” a lot, but it’s an important word…one that’s essential a healthy relationship.

So all right, you’re fighting like civilized people…everyone’s hearing out the other person’s side, and everyone realizes that he or she is responsible for part of the problem. What now? Well, you fix the part of the problem you’re responsible for. If your part is that you’re a bit too bossy, lay off a bit! If your part is that you play too much golf and don’t pay enough attention to your partner, chill on the games and give your partner the attention he or she deserves.

Remember that relationships are 50/50, two-person games. If both people aren’t putting forth a real effort, it’s going to be game over. So when you make your changes, really make the change and also make sure you KEEP the change. If you can’t find enough love for your partner and your relationship to get the motivation to sustain any changes you make to yourself, you deserve to be alone. Harsh, I know…but true. Commit a little, and you’ll be delighted with the results.

Ok, so you know how to get through fights…stay rational, identify the problems, solve the problems, and keep them solved. What does that have to do with getting your ex back if you’re already past the fight and into a breakup?

Well, you use the same skills as when you get through a fight. All you have to do is analyze yourself like you would when you’re in a fight. Look at what you can fix about yourself or your behaviors that will make you more attractive to your ex. Make the changes, keep the changes, and let the changes speak for themselves when you’re in contact with your ex. Chances are very good that alone could do the trick if the breakup was very recent…if not, the site mentioned below can probably help you with anything you need.

Breakups suck, they really do. If you’re going through one right now, I doubt I have to tell you that. Chances are, you could be thinking such things as “why me?” and “what did I do?” Well, there are a couple particular things that women usually do that contribute heavily into the end of a relationship, and I’m here to tell you what they are so that you can see if maybe they might apply to your case, because once you can identify the problems you can usually fix them.

These things are so common that they can almost seem like cliches, as you’ve probably seen them in almost every romantic comedy ever made. Yes…I’m a guy and I’ve seen quite a few of them. Don’t look at me like that, I have a good relationship with my mother and she likes to watch those sorts of movies…

But anyways, you’ll probably recognize these as things you’ve seen before, so you run a good chance of being able to do something about them. Not only will I tell you what these problems are, but I’ll draw from my vast basin of chickflick knowledge to tell you how to help heal a relationship that’s been disrupted by each. (Just kidding, I know a little more about this stuff than just what I’ve seen in movies!)

1) One of the all-time number one ways to make a guy run away screaming and tearing his hair out is to be obsessively, overwhelmingly, incessantly needy. Being all clingy, talking about the dreaded feelings, using the “L” word way too fast and way too often…these make a guy feel trapped, confined, and claustrophobic. A guy who is faced with an overly affectionate girl generally wants to get OUT as fast as possible. It’s just too much to have to handle being smothered like that…guys need some breathing room!

A relationship that’s been ended by a guy running away from this is pretty difficult to mend, as the poor man’s probably terrified of you…but it can be done. You’ll have to seriously kick yourself in the rear and straighten out this kind of behavior, but really getting any relationship back together is going to require some self-change. You just have to try really hard to not be so oppressive and controlling in your affections. This kind of thing can also bleed over into being really bossy as well…a lot of guys like strong women, but very few like being ordered around. These two things are fairly related, which is why I sorta lumped them together…they both make the guy feel trapped…and the only way to heal a relationship like that is to give the poor man some freedom.

2) Another reason why a lot of guys end relationships is because it’s all gotten stale and boring. I’m not saying you need to “spice things up” in the bedroom, as that’s only one type of this sort of problem. More often than the sex getting boring is when the relationship itself gets boring. When the two of you don’t pay much attention to each other anymore, when you don’t really do anything fun and exciting anymore…that’s what I’m really talking about here. Being stuck in a relationship where every conversation is the same, and nothing has any “flavor” anymore…it’s as frustrating as being stuck with a controlling she-demon, and guys can go stir-crazy from it.

Working on a boring relationship is probably the easiest of problems to fix. Just find things you both enjoy doing, and do them together! Sex doesn’t count, unless a serious lack thereof is the chief problem. Find ways to make your relationship more enjoyable for both people…remember that even if you’re satisfied, he may not be…and for a relationship to work out, bother people really need to be happy.

3) I can’t say I really wanted to mention this, but today it’s been getting to be more and more of a problem…cheating on one another is a really serious thing that usually ends all but the strongest relationships…or the oddest, but that’s another story. It’s been kind of stereotyped as a guy’s thing to cheat on his girlfriend or wife, but these days it happens just as often – if not MORE often – with a girl cheating on her man. There’s no excuse for this, there’s really no reason why a person should betray their love’s trust like that, but people do. I’m sure that if this is applicable to your case, you already know it…you probably hate yourself for it too, so I’m not going to berate you about it.

However, nothing really shatters a relationship like your partner being unfaithful. It’s such a betrayal that healing and accepting it is close to impossible. Not only do you feel betrayed when your partner cheats on you, but you start questioning yourself as well, wondering why you weren’t enough for the person you love. Sometimes you even start to question whether or not your partner ever really did love you. It’s a serious wound, and healing is a really hard process. People have worked it out before, but it requires a lot of tentative care when going about mending such a severely broken heart. Best thing to do is give him some space…if you end up being able to talk to each other again, there could be some hope, but for now it’s best to back off a bit.

Whatever the problem is that caused the fracture in your relationship, absolutely essential to healing the relationship is to never repeat the offense, especially in the last case. A strong relationship can bounce back from almost anything, but not if whatever hurt it originally continues to tear at it. Identifying the problem and stopping it from ever happening again is the first and most important step to rebuilding your ex’s trust and eventually getting back together with him.

When you break up with someone you love, and it’s the other person who decided that it was time to end the relationship, you can be pretty seriously broken up about it. Luckily, life doesn’t have to end without your ex, and honestly it doesn’t even have to BE without your ex!

That’s right, you can get your ex back, and I’m here to tell you of four concrete, real things that you can do to make it easier!

1) Get out, have some fun with friends. You may not feel like having fun is even possible, but if you get out and into life again while you surround yourself with people you care about and who care about you, you’ll surprise yourself by actually having a pretty good time.

Why is this helpful for getting your ex back? Well, it shows that you’re not crippled by the loss, even if you may feel it inside. It creates a strong, admirable image that actually becomes pretty attractive. You’re never more attractive than when you’re getting along just fine, and that definitely works to your advantage when you’re trying to draw your ex’s eye again.

2) Analyze your past relationships, including the one that just ended. This is the part that seems so boring and pointless, but it’s actually pretty important. You need to see what sorts of problems your relationships have had, particularly the one with the ex you’re trying to win back. Once you can identify the problems in them, you can figure out which problems are of your doing.

And don’t be naive, some of the problems ARE going to be of your own doing. You may not like to hear that, but it’s likely true. Remember, your ex dumped you, not the other way around. That means that his or her needs weren’t being met, whether that means you weren’t being emotionally supportive enough or that you were too controlling and bossy. Whatever problems you’re responsible for, work on fixing yourself so that you don’t cause them anymore. Even if it doesn’t land you a new start with your ex, it’ll make your future relationships a lot better.

3) Keep up your physical appearance. When you sit around all day pining over lost love, you tend to let yourself go…and that gallon of Ben and Jerry’s ain’t helping. Don’t let yourself slide in the fitness/hygiene department…remember that you want your ex to want to come back to you, and to do that you need to be in shape at least as good as you were when you were together, and it helps to have showered in the last week and a half.

4) Top #1 most important thing (even though I’m listing it at number 4) is to make sure that you go about the “plan of attack” very subtly and stealthily. I don’t mean stalk the poor person, but take things slowly and smooth-like. First off is to not even talk to the person for a little while, just give your ex some space. Chances are, it’ll be appreciated because you’re not exactly the first person he or she wants to talk to right this moment.

When you do make contact, keep it light. A simple phone call about his or her well-being is sufficient -NO TALK ABOUT FEELINGS OR GETTING BACK TOGETHER-. Your ex doesn’t want to hear about “the two of you”. Simple consideration is all you want here. LATER you can get into a little bit more contact, until eventually you start spending a little time together again.

When you get to this stage, you want to make sure that you keep it light and simple. Again, no “feelings” talk. Just do things that the two of you used to really enjoy together, and it’ll bring back happy memories. Bring back enough happy memories, and let it show enough that you’ve been working hard on your flaws and keeping yourself together, and you just may spark enough interest to inspire your ex to want to stop being an “ex” anymore.

All situations are ultimately different, but these basic rules hold true for the vast majority of broken relationships. If you want to get back with your ex, these things I listed off for you are at the very least a guide to how you should be thinking.

Good luck! I wish you the best!
