3 Steps To Get Back Together With My Ex

By Witt DAngelonio

Have you just recently experienced a break up, and you are wondering, "How can I get back together with my ex?

It's easy to tumble into an emotionally depressed state and wondering how you got there and what you can to. It's common to feel like calling your ex and begging them to get back together. But, rather than fix the situation, you are likely to drive them even further away.

The proper way to get through this is very counterintuitive. Want to call, email or text? Don't do it! Just want to curl up in bed or cry in front of the TV all day? No, no no! Instead, here's what you do...

First...Stop fighting it - you're broken up, accept it.

First and foremost, you need to accept that the break up is happening. Tell your ex that you are okay with it, and allow the "moving on" process to begin. When you do this, it will eliminate a large amount of the tension and stress that is being experienced by all. Both you and your ex will have the chance to step back and gain a little perspective. If your ex realizes that he or she still loves you, they will find a way to get back with you.

Second...Do not in any way contact your ex!

Not contacting them in any way is a continuation of the previous step. You are signaling that you are just dandy and prepared to move on without them.

This will force them to think about your relationship and their feelings about it's value to them. They'll also have some time to start missing you. After stepping back and looking at it from a little distance, they are likely to realize how important you were as a part of their lives.

Third...You need a well thought out, step by step plan on how to proceed from here.

Once you have completed the two steps mentioned just above, you can start working on planning on when you should meet, where you should meet, and also what should be said when you do meet up again. Preplan, don't wing it. Handled correctly, you can salvage your relationship. Handled incorrectly it's doomed to failure.
