"I have broken away from my ex and my relationship is in shambles. I am heartbroken, depressed and bitter. The pains I feel are real and I believe unjustified considering all that I did to sustain my relationship with my ex. Well, sometimes some things hardly make any sense no matter how hard you try to understand or how much work you put into making it work. I now constantly ask myself; what should I do to get my ex back?"
"In my effort and earnest desire to finding the most effective solutions to my problem, I have consulted many webisites, books and blogs. I have participated in a number of forums and even browsed through some courses in my quest for solutions. I have since come to the conclusion that it is important to use some common sense in tackling my problem and I am beginning to see some light in my erstwhile tunnel of darkness". The following tips represent some of the ideas I came out with from all my research.
1. Be Courteous - A simple courtesy went a long way in my ex mellowing down and becoming much more amenable to our reconciliation. Therefore, you should also consider trying to be as nice as you can possibly be in dealing with your ex. A relationship involves give and take but often times we forget ourselves by becoming self-centered instead of looking out for the other party. It may sound paradoxical, but the best insurance for retaining our good relationships is over delivering to our partners.
2. Do not play games - many are guilty of trivializing relationships by engaging in trickery with the vain hope that it will get an ex back. Well, you really care about your ex, don't you? So what is the point in phony grand standing to the contrary? While you may think that this gives you some power and you may feel great in this manipulation of the feelings of your ex, it will surely be short lived. You care and you should not claim or behave otherwise. Even though, it is not advisable to smother your ex immediately following the break up, it is important to let him or her know that you care and will like to make up as soon as possible.
3. Avoid being mean - It is also mean to pretend to be dating somebody if that is not the case. It does not work for you to claim to be in love with somebody else when you know it not true. Often times the main motivation for doing such is to make the ex jealous. How would you feel if you are the one being treated this shabbily and mischievously? Anyway, this kind of ploy may backfire, at times, to make the break permanent.
4. Be ready to forgive - You should always be ready to forgive and forget the lapses and shortcomings of your ex after they have been acknowledged. Do not shout and harass your ex no matter how angry you are. In your conversations, avoid all sorts of issues that may lead to unnecessary arguments which may strain the challenging situation. Engaging your ex in heated exchange and bitter arguments will not likely help you to get your ex back together with you. In fact, your ex will definitely avoid you as your company is not worth keeping.
I am quite sure that some of the tips above will go a long way in assisting to get your ex back.
