3 Helpful Tips to Help You Get Your Ex Back
1) Strange as it sounds, the first thing you should do is cut off contact with your ex. For roughly a month, fight any urge to talk to him! If you fail to give your ex some space, the problems will never work out...give him some time to miss you! Plus, you get some time to sort yourself out as well.
Without this valuable breather time, you'd find it pretty hard to pull things together by just winging it. It's always important to make sure you know what you're doing before you do it, or else it may have poor consequences you didn't at first expect.
2) Don't deal with breakup pain like you see in movies. Sitting around crying and refusing to live your life until someone else fixes your problems for you isn't going to work in the real world. Winning back your ex in real life needs action, it must be made by YOU!
Any plan you build during your month of no contact can't rely on your ex reacting in any specific way or contributing anything to the rebuilding process. This all has to be you...if your ex had his input, you'd never get back together, so you have to be the driving force behind everything.
3) Make sure you're in the company of people who care about you. Family, friends...whoever there is who values your feelings and wants you to be happy, spend a lot of time with them. The support can help you heal your pain and find the motivation to work things out. But avoid just using them as a shoulder to cry on...it's not right to lay your burden completely at the feet of other people. Value your friends, and do your best to enjoy their company.
Just be sure you don't take advantage of their kindnesses. They're not a resource, and they don't need to be overburdened with your problems. Let them support you as best they can just by being there for you, but don't pressure them with your problems as if asking for a solution. Remember to take charge of your own life.
These are just a few helpful words of advice for you, but here's a much more vital one: when the month is up, don't just rush back in without a plan. This is the downfall of many, many people...this won't be as cut and dry as it seems, it'll be tricky. Make sure you know exactly what you're doing by having a real plan, preferably one that's been tested and proven to work.
