Chances are I’m not telling you anything you don’t already know here, but when your partner decides it’s time to end the relationship, it can really hit you hard. Don’t worry though, because even when it seems like the world is coming apart at the seams, there’s still a chance to put it back together. You can learn how to get your ex back, and I can help you!
The best advice I can give you, the main thing you need to really focus on right now, is that you CANNOT let your sadness and depression take control of you. It’s okay to feel like you do right now, a breakup really hurts, but don’t let it stop you from finding that firm resolve to get up and do something about it.
Once you make that solid choice to take matters into your own hands and do what’s necessary to get your ex back, you’re already on the path to achieving that goal. Making up your mind to do something is half the battle, and once you get to that point all that follows is the careful execution of a proven plan that’s worked for countless others.
Now, chances are this comes a little too late, but when your partner has JUST broken up with you, it’s important not to hound him/her about it. As much as you may want to get back together immediately like nothing happened, bothering your now-ex when he/she is still hurting over the breakup isn’t going to make things any better and actually has a fair chance of making it worse.
Even if you’ve already made the mistake of pressuring your ex into getting back together, back off now. Give your ex some space...and you could use it too. The time you’re not spending chasing back after your ex could be much better spent by doing some self-work. I know that “self-work” is an ugly word that most people don’t like, but it’s important if you really want to get your ex back.
I’m not saying that everything that went wrong in the relationship is because of you, and that it’s solely your fault, but statistically speaking it’s usually the one who was broken up with who contributed the most to the breakup. Not always, but most of the time. Don’t worry about your partner’s problems, instead sit down with yourself and figure out what problems you personally were responsible for.
The things you’ve done or haven’t done could be just about anything, and I can’t tell you what went wrong, but I’m sure if you really think on it you can figure it out. Once you do, it’s important to make any changes, sacrifices, and compromises are necessary to ensure that your partner will be happy being with you. If you don’t think it’s worth the trouble, then don’t bother and try to find someone else...but if you’re really in love with your ex and can’t bear the thought of living without him/her, then you have to do what you must.
Once you’ve really busted into gear and gotten a lot of this worked out, it’s usually taken long enough that enough time has passed to where it’s acceptable to contact your ex again. Remember, this is a light reestablishment of communication, not a targeted attempt to get back together. A phone call or an email is good, and usually it shouldn’t be a whole lot more than just seeing how he/she’s doing.
If all went well with the first contact, it’s safe to keep going, slowly but surely. Don’t rush things, just keep opening those doors by building up contact bit by bit. Piece by piece, things’ll start to come back together a bit, until the two of you are on friendly enough terms again that it’s ok to be spending time together. Use this time to let your ex see for him/herself how much work you’re doing on yourself.
When you’ve gotten to the point that you’re spending a decent amount of time together, make sure that the things you guys do are associated with fond memories of the two of you. If you two always used to like going for walks through a local park, have an afternoon there. Whatever you two used to enjoy doing as a couple, it’ll help to rekindle the feelings you had for one another...and your ex could easily start wondering if perhaps calling it quits was a mistake.
If things go well, and you two get back together, first of all congratulations...and then secondly, remember that the changes you’ve made can’t just be temporary...you have to stick to “You Version Two”. Reverting back to old behavior could easily cause your partner to leave again, and this time you may not be able to get him/her back…
The important thing to remember when using this method is that it’s almost entirely passive, except for the self-changes. You should never pressure your ex into getting back together, in fact it’s the most ideal if it’s his/her idea to reunite. This is a slow process, but it’s worked for countless people, and it can work for you too if you just make that critical attitude adjustment that you’re going to do what it takes to get your ex back.
