4 Massive Mistakes To Avoid When Getting Your Ex Back
Erik J. Michaels
There are a lot of things you may instinctively want to do when you partner breaks up with you, but it's important to your future that you choose your actions carefully. The reactions you may naturally do may not necessarily be the best ones, and in fact they usually aren't...so I'm going to help you out with a few tips.
People have instincts, you can't fight that...but you can keep them under control. A lot of people adopt destructive behaviors that can really devastate their chances at getting their exes back, and it's really a big shame. You can get your ex back with relative ease, so long as you know what to avoid. Here's a list of some of the biggest ones.
1) Immediately jumping on your ex trying to get back together with him/her. This is so completely against the rules it's not even funny, yet the vast majority of us fall right into this trap. Putting too much pressure on somebody who at this particular moment probably doesn't like you that much just isn't a good idea. It's going to drive your ex further away, perhaps even to a place that's unreachable.
2) Thinking that all of the problems in your relationship were your ex's fault, and none of them were yours. I hate to be the one to put this to you, but it's usually the case that when a person decides to leave his/her partner, it's because of that partner. "It's not you, it's me" is a myth. There's always something you did wrong, and if you sit down and figure out what that was...you can FIX it and never make those mistakes again. Needless to say, this is a great asset if you plan to get your ex back.
3) Letting all your hard work go to waste by just dropping right back into your old destructive habits once the relationship has been mended. If you don't sustain the changes you make to get your ex back, you're not going to be able to keep him/her again. If the same problems exist, the same result will happen...and third chances are harder to come by than second ones.
4) Rushing things when you're in the process of getting back together. Rebuilding a relationship is a tricky, tricky time. Going too fast before your ex is ready to really take the plunge again is just going to frighten him/her off. Your ex is GOING to worry about things not working out again, and if you're too aggressive about getting back together, intimidation will win out over hope. Take it slow, rebuild a friendship and let love bloom again.
There are more than just these four items that you should be careful of, but this is a good start. Most of this stuff is really common sense, but not everything comes naturally and easily. Things that may at first seem like a good idea, or like the only idea, aren't always the best idea. Just remember to think all things through with a calm mind. This is too important to risk on poor judgement.
Remember at all times that there are a lot of feelings flying around in a breakup, and not just your own. Your ex is going to be hit with this big mass of emotions and confusion as well, so it's important not to push them too far or they'll become unreachable. Go easy on your ex, it's really the only way to get him/her back.
