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!
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: 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!
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.
