Get Your Ex Back After You've Wronged Them

By Johnnie S Laney

Do you want to get your ex back after they dumped you for wronging them in some way? Maybe you cheated on them or were too controlling or you fought and argued with them all the time. At some point, they got fed up and dumped you.

Now you want to get them back. Well, there is good news. Even if you cheated on your ex, you can get them back if you wronged them, if you follow certain proven steps. And you usually dont need to wait weeks or months to make this happen.

The first step to getting your ex back begins with owning up inside yourself to the fact that you wronged them. You, yourself, by your actions, caused your mate enough emotional pain that they gave up on the whole possibility of your relationship. You hurt them by what you did in such a way that they felt the only thing to do emotionally was to hit the eject button on you.

This first step is important because you know how we human beings are. We like to place the blame for bad things outside ourselves. We blame our ex or we blame the drinking or the stress or the loneliness for what we did. We don't want to accept responsibility for our bad behaviors.

The next part of the plan follows the first. Since you've admitted to yourself what you did, the next step is to admit it to your ex. Fess up. Say "I wronged you by..." This is important. Instead of arguing or making excuses, you tell your mate that you did them wrong.

Look, when you get hurt by someone, it is natural to want to know that the person understand what they did wrong. You don't want to hear a bunch of excuses and rationalizations. When you've wronged your mate, they often can't begin to forgive until they hear that you are at least taking responsibility for your poor behaviors.

We all tend to apologize endlessly and say I'm sorry I'm sorry. But if you want your ex to get to forgiveness a better start is to own up to what you did wrong. This is important for them to hear.

Instead of starting with an apology, there are several steps that should take place before you get to Im sorry. Admitting to yourself that you wronged your mate and then admitting it to them is a good first start. - 15784
