Following a break up and it does not matter how many times it has happened to you, it is not an easy thing to handle. Unless your relationship was difficult maybe even terrible, then your first thought may be to try to find some ways to get your ex back. On the other hand if your relationship involved physical violence or mental cruelty then you had a lucky escape when your ex broke up with you, and you can move on to a healthier relationship. I would recommend that you do not under any circumstances go back to that relationship, in my experience people do not change, and if they are inclined to violence or any form of cruelty then they will remain that way. Lets us map out the most common relationship pattern. First you meet someone and the shine shines and the stars are brighter everything is new and bright, love blinds you to everything. Time goes by and life takes over and familiarity envelopes the both of you and the small things that you did not notice in the beginning start to bother you Then the ‘comfort’ takes over and you start to neglect the loving ways you had in the beginning, at this point trouble can start, because it takes a united approach and effort to build and maintain a strong relationship. If the effort is not maintained then sometimes things get neglected and then you partner wants to move on completely, instead of trying to fix things between you. When this happens you have to believe that your busted relationship is worth your effort to revive it, even if your ex has made it clear that they believe it is over. If your answer is yes and you are looking for ways to get your ex back, then I have 4 simple, not necessarily easy, steps you can take. Start communications between you, any way you can, and start by saying sorry. Talking is the way to start, first contact by phone is probably the best, and to say sorry is even better, just be sure what you are saying sorry for. Remember is easy to take the blame for everything that went wrong, but that is not the case and to have a successful strong relationship, one of the keystones must be knowing who is at fault, and if it is you saying sorry is the way to start. Take things slow and easy do let your apology lead to an argument, which can be easily done if your ex brings up other things. rnMeet somewhere neutral, sit down and talk rnGet hold of your ex is willing to meet you, meet up, sit down and talk, it is that simple. The conversation should be calm, and non confrontational, this is not the time to renew the arguments. Talk over your problems without portioning out the blame, keep your emotions in check for the best results. If you can get to a point where you are both willing to move onto the next stage, try to get proper relationship advice or counseling it will make things go much smoother. rnTime and space are great healers As it is you that is leading this reconciliation process, allow your ex time to come to terms with this new development, remember you are probably keener than them at this stage. They will need time to realize that they miss you, especially after you let them know that you want them back, if you are in constant touch then it cannot happen. rnBe strong allow your ex to see that strength of character Do not appear desperate, you must show them that you care for yourself, if you are too forward then they may have second thoughts about the reconciliation. When they see that you are getting on with your life, and not just sitting around hoping that your ex will rush to call you, your ex will start to see what they are missing. Go out with friends shopping, to the cinema whatever you used to do before, let your ex see you are out enjoying yourself, this will shock them hopefully into calling you.rnAllow his first call to go to your voice mail, it will give you time to calm the flutters and think about your response. Leave your return call to your ex till the next day. Let them know you were busy when they first called so you could not call back till today, when they realize that you are interested but have other things to keep you busy, they may feel the desire to pursue you once more. Take it slow time heals most wounds, with effort a reconciliation is possible.
