Get Your Ex Back

Posted by chrisr on 30 April 2009

There are things you can do to reunite with your ex. When you are mourning following a separation, you often desire to get your girlfriend back or get your boyfriend back. In those lonely weeks and months when you are adjusting to life on your own it can be tempting to think that getting back with your ex will make you happy. Before you take action on these thoughts and feelings you should answer some questions first.

  
Would you be happy getting back with your ex? Are you remembering the bad times that lead to the break up as well as the good times that you miss? Is it really that bad being on your own? When considering getting back with your ex you need to ask yourself will it really bring you happiness?  It is easier for you to just remember the good times that you had and not think of the bad times. It may not be difficult to be a victim of the previous condition…..Some may feel that being involved with someone even when it is not working out is better than being alone.

There is always something salvageable in a relationship between two people who have shared some time together. If there was no abuse, violent fighting, substance abuse, emothional instability, then you probably have a relationship that is fixable. If the relationship was a good one to begin with then it might be worth taking steps to salvage it.

While staying connected in some way to them on a regular basis, give your ex emotional space. You don’t want to pester or push your ex but you do want them to be thinking of you. Get across a sign that you are fine and still concerned about your ex by sending brief hello text messages or a cheerful and supportive email a day, just to let him/her know you still care. No expectation should be had from your ex. Gestures that are done must be simple and from the heart. Do not seem as though you are desperate.

If you seem needy, they are surely going to head for the hills. Of course it happens very easily that you ponder about the past and all the mistakes you might have made and suddenly feel the urge to apologize to make things right. You most likely have already talked about those things with your ex. It will give them new life to bring them up again, even just to apologize. What happened before is the past. If you can accept your own faults and your graces, your partner will recognize them as well.

If you get it in your mind that the relationship is currently over you can free yourself from these nagging insecurities and begin the healing process. Even if it were possible, you can’t turn back time, so just get over it and move on! Put your energy and emotions and focus on what is going on now.

When you do make contact, there should be no discussion of the breakup or even of your past relationship. It must be only about the present things. If the conversation comes easily and is reciprocated you may be on your way to rekindling things with your ex. To increase the likelihood that your ex will be willing to talk, you may need to provide them with some time and space. It may take some time to get back together with your ex. Keep it slow because it will take a long time.

Spending some time apart often contributes to improving the state of a relationship. You will be more likely to be missed if you are doing well and confident. This is the first step to rekindling a relationship with your ex.
