How to Get Your Ex Boyfriend Back

Monday, March 7th, 2011




Now that you’ve done your time listening to sad songs and have literally blown through all the tissues in the Kleenex box, it’s time to start working on getting you and your boyfriend back together. But before you begin, I strongly recommend that you do a pros and cons list. Are you truly meant to be with your ex, or are you just planting a body in the space next to yours because you hate being alone? Because the only thing worse than being single and lonely is being in a relationship: And lonely. If you don’t have to go there, don’t. If you really feel you are meant to be with your ex-boyfriend for some portion of the foreseeable future, then keep reading.

Men are better at walking away from relationships than women are in many cases. So if ending it was his idea, you may have an uphill fight on your hands. However, relationships have a certain ebb and flow, and this one might just be taking a little break (even if one or both of you said “it’s over”.)

I’m going to make some suggestions on how to proceed, but it was your relationship and that was your guy. Feel free to dismiss any thoughts or ideas that don’t fit your particular interaction.

How to Get Your Ex Boyfriend Back:

1.     Give him some time By some I mean 2-4 weeks or more depending on your situation. When a break-up occurs, people need space. Even if he loves and misses you madly, if you come back from a place of strength, it will look like anger. If you come from a non-confrontational place, he may view you as needy, or weak. None of these perceptions is true, so that’s why he needs time. Right now, his emotions are clouding how he sees things.

2.     Decide what you want from him There was a time, not so very long ago, that women wanted to get married and men didn’t. Not everybody, but enough people that it was a pretty solid generality. This is no longer the case. You need to decide if you want a ‘friend with benefits’ setup, a monogamous relationship, casual dating, etc. Don’t assume you have to pick up where you left off. Obviously, where you left off wasn’t working. So you need to do some hard thinking. How much are you willing to offer or accept?

3.     Request a face-to-face meeting He should be mature enough to grant you this wish. If he’s not, ask him to honor what you had. One request. It’s simple enough. If he grants it, great. If not, you need to make peace with the fact that it’s over.

4.     Meet in a place that has special meaning to you two as a couple This date is going to be about reminding him what was right about you two. You set the date, you set the tone. Wear his favorite everything, from hairstyle to heels and perfume to lipstick shade.

5.     Be the woman he fell in love with Don’t make this all about getting back together. Enjoy yourself. Talk, laugh – have fun. Look at him like your eyes have been starved for the sight of his face. Have a couple of drinks, and just talk. You two were best friends, for a time. If he’s digging in his heels, there’s a pretty good chance he’s fighting the fact that he still has feelings for you.

6.     Know your subject matter Let the evening carry the conversation, but when it’s time to broach the possibility of getting back together, you better already know exactly what you want to say. Consider your words carefully, because you better believe he will. Let him know you have been thinking about what went wrong. Ask him his perceptions. Hear him out. Don’t blow him off, tell him he was wrong, or in any way attempt to defend yourself. If he gets abusive about it, just look him in the eye and calmly say in a regulated tone of voice. “That’s not fair.” Because using the truth to cause someone pain isn’t fair.

7.     Give him more time Don’t ask for or demand an immediate answer. If you get one, great. But don’t leap to the worst case scenario if he asks for time to think. He can have all the time in the world. You’ll just be off living your life. And then do it. This isn’t a control gambit, this is a statement of truth. You have your whole life ahead of you. Life is too short to pine after an ex.

So this also means you might not feel to good about it. Trust me, I KNOW. I know what it is to feel emotionally sick after such an event. But cheer up, this is part of life. There is an old saying that says “what ever doesn’t kill you, makes you stronger”, and this type of experience will make you much stronger. The good part is that this experience will serve you for the rest of your life because you are going to learn something from it and this is what ‘s important and permanent.

Please feel free to read the following post that was made just for you on learning “how to get your ex back”. And no this is not one of the many mediocre post you see on the internet that have no substance at all in trying to solve your serious problem with silly information.

How to Get Your Ex Back

Fist and foremost, breakups are not uncommon in our world. As a matter of fact, people have been breaking up since the beginning of time for many reasons. Only in very rare cases it can result impossible to get your ex back. However, it is extremely rare. You would have to have done something extremely horrible in order to make your ex not want you back. Fortunately, in most cases, it is quite possible to make your ex start over with you once again in the relationship.

Below are a couple of steps, pointers, tips, suggestions and ideas that will provide you with free advice and help you determine what is the best and fastest way for you to get your ex back once again.

-

Steps

1) First, Know and Understand The Reason

- You might want to consider why you are breaking up because it could be that there is either a misunderstanding, or your ex has a very good reason for breaking up that he should let you know about.

This is the most important fact you should have because it can allow you learn what is the cause of the break up and allow you to try and fix or improve that which was not working while you where in the relationship.

If you are able to talk about it and fix problem in a conversation, then you just got your ex back in the very first step! Remember that the most important thing in any relationship is communication. But if it does not solve the problem, then it is time to move on, for now.

2) Respectfully Agree…

– If your ex gave you a good reason for the break up, and continues to tell you that the relationship should end even after speaking about the problem, then the best thing to do is to agree.

To be in a relationship, two people need to be willing to commit to each other. But if there is only one, then the relationship is going be left handicap.

Just remember what Aristotle said: “Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies“, but if there is only one soul involved, then we cannot force them to be one with us.

We humans have the free will to choose and make our decisions. So if this is the decision that your ex has made, let it be. Worse will be forcing them to do something they do not want to do.

But don’t think that this will end here because life is full of surprises. Just demonstrate to your ex that you are a mature and strong person. This alone should show a part of you that should leave them impressed.

3) Continue Moving on With Your Life

– Although you may not feel like it, going on with your life is the best possible thing you can do at this point. Simply continue moving forward with your day-to-day routine and don’t let your emotions get the best of you. They’ll wonder why you haven’t broken down.

Try to be involved in anything that can distract you from thinking about your ex. This can be sports, activities, events, video games, etc.

Try to avoid anything that can remind you of your ex. Like romantic music, literature, photos, places, etc.

It’s not worth it to go through more emotional pain then the amount you have been through already. Just try to keep your mind away from your ex and you will see how it would be much easier to approach them when it is appropriate to do so.

4) Change Your Look

– You may not think so, but when you reinvent yourself, you reinvent your life, thus attracting more positive energies your way. When you’re depressed, it may not show, but people can sense it. When you’re happy, it continues to come back to you and you’ll attract those same feelings from others.

5) Know When to Approach

- You will know sooner or later the correct moment when to approach your ex. This depends on your situation and the reason for the break up. But you can know when it is time by remembering the “Side effects of a Break Up” and taking advantage of them.

-

The Side Effects of a Break Up

The “You don’t know what you have till you lose it” Effect

Everyone goes through this in a break up and so will your ex. This is when you start to realize how much your ex actually meant for you when you’re no longer have them.

It’s a type of paradox. When you have something, you don’t value it. When you no longer have that something, you do value it.

When this occurs your ex starts to value you more now then the time you where in a relationship with him/her. This is a good opportunity to start an indirect conversation that might get your ex interested in starting the relationship again.

The “What if?” Effect

This is when you start thinking about “what if” we still were together or “what if” things worked out. You and your ex will most likely have this in mind.

It is like having second thoughts about the relationship and could be a good situation to begin a conversation about starting from scratch with your ex.

The “I Miss You” Effect

Well, this ones easy. We normally get use to being around something or someone so much that we start to miss them when they are not around. Another great opportunity.

Get Your Ex Back

This is the final step and it is the most crucial because it is when you will make the attempt to get your ex back using the appropriate moment and circumstances, along with the above tips.

It is best to be yourself and try to remember the positive sides of your ex relationship. This way you can try to magnify those moments of happiness once again and reignite the fire that was once their. However, only you know your ex well.

Other Helpful Tips

The above advice is for everyone in a general sense but you can see below if any of the following tips can help you in your situation as well:

No Stalking

– It’s okay if you two have the same friends, hang-out’s, etc., but at least try to distance yourself from your ex for a while. Have confidence that they will make their way back to you. Stalking is a huge turn-off and creates negativity. It’s best not to ask your friends about your ex. Have faith that they will contact you and find you when the time is right.

Don’t Ask Your Ex To Come Back

– After you’ve accepted (whether you’ve really accepted it or not), act like you’re fine with it. Begging or simply suggesting that getting back together is a horrible idea. Doing so will only push your ex away. If you’ve already begged, there is no need to worry. The best thing you can do right now is simply put an end to it and pretend that you’re going on with your life.

Don’t Ask Questions About The Breakup

– After breaking up with your ex, the worst thing you can do is ask why. Most of the time, the reason is clear. What’s done is done and it’s best to simply accept what has happened and let time run it’s course. Your wounds will heal, and it’s also a great way to get your ex back.

Let Your Ex Come To You

– Once you’ve let your ex know that you’re okay with the breakup and let them know that you’ll always be their friend, leave it at that. Your ex may not contact you for a while, especially if they start dating other people, but trust that they will. Let your ex come to you. It will give you the upper hand.

Date Other People

– You don’t necessarily have to get into another relationship, but at least going out with individuals of the opposite sex is highly recommended. You’ll need to strike a bond with others to help deal with some of the negative emotions that might come your way. It helps with the healing process, and besides, it makes you look like you’re doing just fine without your ex.

Don’t “Wait” on Your Ex to Come Back

– If your mind is programmed as if you are “waiting” on your ex to come back, then they may never make it back into your life. You have to do things that make you happy in the meantime. Go back to school, get a gym membership, and change some things about yourself that you’ve been unhappy with. Get busy doing things that interest you, that way, when you do get back together with your ex, you’ll have it all together and if it’s meant to be, it will last.

Tell Your Ex That You’ll Always Be Their “Friend”

- Letting your ex know that no matter what, you’ll always be there for them, is the perfect way to get them back – eventually. It may not happen overnight, or even within the next 6 months, but as long as you leave the door open, they’re bound to walk through it again. This is also a great way not to create any hard feelings between the two of you.

-

Conclusion

Getting your ex back is not difficult. There is a good chance that this entire process may take some time. However, the wait will be worthwhile because your relationship will evolve into something much better than before. By accepting the breakup and letting your ex know that you’re willing to be their friend, you’re creating a relationship that just may last forever.

Remember that a romantic relationship is like “friendship set on fire”, and all relationships have a touch of friendship in them whether its family, boyfriend/girlfriend, husband/wife or even pet relationships.

Why Relationships Fail

Thursday, October 29th, 2009




Unhappy relationships have many of the same issues running through them. Below are a number of these issues explained for you. These are in no particular order of importance, but they do explain why relationships fail.

Ignoring the Facts: A lot of people faced with unhappy relationships basically ignore the reality of their situation. Some people might be trying to save face by acting as if everything is all right. They may not be able to come to terms that their partner is not the person they thought.

Number one may come up with reasons why that number two comes in late from their job every night, missing all family get together. Number one may come up with these reasons to hide the affair that number two is having so that their marriage will still look idyllic in public. Number one could just be ignoring the fact that number two is basically a workaholic. Whichever the reason it is still ignoring the facts as they are.

Losing the Romance: Many people do successfully keep the romance going during their whole relationship, but the glorious highly romantic feelings of the honeymoon time usually end.

The couples that can keep the fires lit often enough during their relationship have higher chances for going on for years, than those who lose the romance and can’t seem to get it back. Any relationship goes through good times and bad times.

During the bad times on partner may be disappointed about the marriage or even tired, trapped, depressed, powerless, or just let down. This partner may reach out for an unhealthy solution like having an affair with someone else, or other negative behaviors to feel better causing this once happy relationship to be damaged. The couples should instead deal with the problems together. Set new expectations for their relationship, enjoy doing activities with each other, discuss things more, and so on.

Problems with Compatibility: They say opposites attract but that is not always so. While it nice to have some unexpected moments because of your differences, but this sometimes can put a strain on a relationship.

Remember that relationships are about having your expectations met at least part of the time. So if there is too much drama, due to your differences, this can hurt your closeness in the relationship. This can make a person forget why they got with their partner in the first place, which leads to conflicts happening within the relationship.

Violence or Verbal Abuse: This can be one of the most serious problems a relationship can have. If one or both of the partner acts violently towards the other for any reason, this can have tragic result for the health of the relationship. Sometimes it is not physical violence but verbal abuse that happens. Either one of these can destroy all the love than once existed in a relationship. Counseling is usually needed to work through this type of behavior when the couple is willing. But sadly, many relationships end totally.

These are some important reasons why relationships fail. There are many more reasons that can be added to this list. If you think your relationship is in trouble you need to search out help to correct the problems. You can salvage relationships if you want to bad enough.
